When my husband and I decided to have a doula at our birth we didn’t know what to expect. We selected Erin because she was easy to talk to and felt like she could relate to us well. Our conversations flowed naturally and Erin made us feel confident and more relaxed about the labor and delivery process. Erin prioritized making sure we felt in control of everything and always checked in to see how we were feeling throughout. We talk about it often that we do not know what we would have done without Erin. She was amazing and we would recommend her to everyone!

Erin was our doula for the birth of our second child. Even though we had a previous birth, Erin’s counsel and perspectives throughout the pregnancy were helpful and grounding. She kept very detailed notes on my history, preferences, and the birth itself – we never felt we had to repeat information. Erin was extremely professional and responsive and stuck with us for a full 42 week pregnancy. Her presence is calming and nurturing. We would recommend working with her to anyone seeking a birth doula!

Erin was an invaluable part of our pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I had always wanted to give birth and to do it without intervention, medications or a hospital setting. After choosing the MN Birth Center, I found Erin’s bio on their doula page, and I could tell straight away she would be a great fit for us and this way of birth; I was even more convinced after our initial meeting. She is professional and personable, and was an invaluable resource during and after pregnancy. She gave great recommendations for useful products, and had resources on posture and optimal positioning, including Spinning Babies. At the time of labor, she was by our side coaching us and giving much-needed encouragrement, as well as suggestions for position changes, breaks/naps and using the available resources in the birth room. All of her suggestions were spot on and helped me better cope with an unmedicated labor. Without her guidance, patience and positivity, it could not have gone as well as it did. I would recommend Erin in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a doula!
