My husband and I were so glad to have Erin on our birth team. From the start, Erin was very professional and knowledgeable. During our pre-labor meetings, she answered all of our questions and even showed us her labor kit which included all of the necessities. Even though my husband and I felt prepared, when my contractions came on quick and strong, we felt completely out of sorts. Erin, however, was calm and helped direct us on what steps to take; she tracked the contractions, told us when to call the midwife, and helped us into the car. Once we were at the birth center, she continued her support; she helped me breathe through each of my contractions, helped me move into different positions, put on soothing music, and even held my hand through each push. After the birth, Erin stayed with us to make sure baby and I were all okay and then quietly stepped out. After settling in, Erin stopped by the house for a postpartum visit. It was fun to reminisce about the birth; she even reminded me about some of my memorable labor quotes. We would definitely recommend Erin to anyone looking for a great doula.
