Testimonial for Erin Ronder Neves, MA, CD(DONA), CLC, BCCE, SpBCPE
Erin served as my postpartum doula, and she helped make my journey into motherhood much more empowering and manageable. When our son Victor was born, she came for our first night home from the hospital. We're so glad she did! It was so overwhelming to try to figure out how to keep a new baby alive and breastfeed. But with Erin by our side, we were able to get into a routine and figure out exactly what we needed to make parenthood a success for us in our home.
Erin came a few times a week to help support my husband's transition back to work, and my transition to being home alone with a newborn. She taught me so much about how to make motherhood sustainable for me, and gave me a break by watching Victor while I got myself clean, fed myself, took a nap, or went to an appointment. I really appreciated having someone to talk to about all of the difficult parts of being a mother, and Erin was available via phone or text when I needed help to problem solve an issue. She was calm and reassuring when I was upset about struggles with breastfeeding or other concerns that came up.
Erin was extremely respectful when she stepped inside our home. She always made sure to ask how things are done in our house, rather than making assumptions. Throughout my postpartum journey, I knew that I could rely on Erin to be a non-judgmental, supportive, kind person to help me through any situation. She made it very clear that she would go along with whatever I say is right for my child, even if she did something different with her own children or her other clients.
I don't know how I would have managed without Erin by my side. My family live far away, and my husband had to go back to work, so I would have felt very alone without her. I love her motto that she helps to provide the village that we all deserve! I am so grateful to Erin for helping me and my new little family go from surviving to thriving!
