Testimonial for Erin Stanton
We really loved working with Erin. When we started our search for a doula, it was important to us to find someone who understood our active lifestyles and who would support a more evidence based approach to birth. Erin was fantastic on both fronts. She gave us a lot of information on what to expect during the birth process and the choices available without any bias. She respected our choice to use pain relief; but also let me labor stubbornly for a while without it. At the end of the day, I felt like I had experienced what I wanted to.
During birth, she navigated and arranged for different props, bath tub time, and pushed on my hips and back to help relieve the pain. She took turns with my partner to keep him rested and ready to support me. She was on top of the situation when our daughter needed a little more help breathing after coming out. After birth she was a terrific mentor in how to care for our newborn and answered all of our questions. Erin helped us the first time we had to bathe our daughter, showed us how to use different child carriers, and demonstrated different soothing techniques. She also walked me through different postpartum exercises and help me get on my way back to hiking and climbing.
From my parnter: Erin was a great guide in parenthood. She not only provides support for mothers and babies but helps fathers. Her advice helped me feel more confident as a dad. She was essential after the baby was born to learning all of the latest information and techniques.
