Having Erin by your side for the birth of your child is truly one of the greatest gifts.
Bringing a baby into the world with the support of a doula is something I cannot recommend enough. The journey before, during, and after birth feels so much more complete when guided by the knowledge, care, and support of a doula - especially Erin.

From the very beginning, her professionalism, expertise, and calm presence were invaluable in preparing us for birth. Her advocacy throughout early labour, active labour, and the birth of our son was impressive and deeply appreciated. Her care postpartum, for both me and my baby, was selfless, nurturing, and loving. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported, healthy, calm, and cared for.
During a very fast and intense labour, Erin's guidance, touch, and reassuring presence kept me grounded and empowered. She instinctively knew how to help me feel safe and comfortable in moments when I wasn't sure I could continue without medication. Her support gave me confidence in my ability to birth my son.
If you're wondering whether a doula is worth it, I can confidently say you will never regret having that extra layer of care and support. The advocacy, education, and guidance Erin provided were essential, especially when navigating conversations with the medical team and making informed decisions. She carefully walked us through our birth plan, helping us understand every step. She also prepared us for questions the hospital might ask, possible interventions that could be suggested, and scenarios we might not have otherwise anticipated. Because of her, I felt informed, prepared, and ready. Especially with this being a second pregnancy, that seemed to go by so quickly that I wasn't feeling as confident and prepared going into labour, as I did with my first. But Erin never left my side. Her regular check-ins while on call demonstrated her incredible dedication and commitment to her profession - not only to me, but to my husband as well. In moments when he wasn't sure how to best support me, Erin gently guided him, showing him techniques that could provide comfort and relief while reassuring him that he was exactly what I needed. Her support allowed him to be present and confident throughout the experience. We truly are so grateful.
Although Erin lives in the UK, we felt so strongly that she was the right person to support us that we brought her all the way to Canada to be part of our birth journey. Looking back, we cannot imagine doing it without her. Our baby boy was welcomed into the world surrounded by a team of people who loved and supported him from the very beginning - his mother, his father, and Erin.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Erin. We are forever grateful.
