Erin was an amazing birth and postpartum doula! During my pregnancy, she did an excellent job at giving me suggestions on how to prepare mentally and physically for the birth of our second child. For example, she provided me birth exercises, mantras for labor, or shared resources for lactation consultants.
During the labor, she helped me stay calm, comfortable and supported. She brought music, tea lights and massage oil to massage my feet. Once delivery got intense, she stayed by my side to help give me some hip pain relief and moral support with mantras. She also advocated for me to the nurses on staff for my birth plan. With her guidance and coaching, I was able to achieve my intention of an unmedicated birth.
For postpartum support, she provided self-care suggestions for recovery, taking the baby while I shower or nap, helped with laundry and meal prep etc. I also hired her to do the placenta encapsulation and she made the whole process seamless!
I can't say enough to express how thankful I was to have Erin at my side and highly recommend her as a birth or postpartum doula!
