"Erin provided us with complete information while at the same time respecting our choices regarding our pregnancy and birth, even when those choices fell outside the community standard of care. I appreciated her willingness to use herbs to manage issues that arose during the birth as well as her ability to include my partner as an active participant in the birth of our child." ~Alison

 

 

 

"Erin made it possible for me to have the birth I envisioned. My husband and I labored together in the tub, working as a team. We were able to share the intimacy of the moment and feel completely supported. We felt very confident with Erin there and this allowed us to focus on each other and the baby. When I was pushing, things got intense and her voice guided me through. I was able to catch my baby and breastfeed my baby right after he was born. It was extraordinary!" ~Xena

 

 

 

 

"We decided to have our second baby at home when I was 30 weeks pregnant. While we were unsure of how to go about finding a midwife, our first meeting with Erin confirmed for us that we had absolutely made the right decision. Later, when we thought labor might be starting, Erin was available to us throughout the day. Her presence was comforting and everything that she said and did reassured me that I was laboring exactly how I needed to be laboring. Our baby boy arrived quickly and Erin was right on top of everything that needed to be done. I was amazed by her skillful, calm, and rapid response to our needs. My husband and I were able to joyfully welcome our son knowing that we were well cared for." ~Alix and Joe
