What Clients Say
Erika was immediately available when I needed her. Once there, she reminded me of the most effective ways to gain comfort. When faced with decisions, she went over all the pros and cons with us and supported all our decisions...What I am most grateful to Erika for is remembering my desire to birth my baby in the squatting position. She supported me on one side while I pushed. Her reminders to breathe and push correctly helped me be much more effective. -- Angela, fourth time mom and successful VBAC.

I have delivered 5 beautiful babies, and I have had two of them with a doula. A doula is a professional advocate for the mother. Often times, the baby is the entire focus, and the mother's labor and pain will not be attended to, especially if she chooses a medication-free delivery. My doulas rubbed my back, spoke up for me, and reminded me of my labor's desires and goals. You are not just another laboring mother... You are her patient and she tends to you.

Erika was a doula-in-training during my last delivery. She was assertive and attentive to me while many of the nurses and family members were not. She remembered that I was hot and made sure the A/C was blasting. She put cold rags on my face and ran to get the emesis basin during a bout of nausea. The nurses were looking at the baby stats (on the monitor). The nurses seemed unconcerned at my discomfort. My mom was just too excited to know what to do for me. My husband was deployed!

Your doula will be there for YOU. She will listen to you. I highly recommend Erika to help you through your labor. -- 5th time mom (pictured with baby).

Erika was our doula during the birth of our son. She helped us develop a birth plan. Erika was very helpful in giving us information regarding different aspects of labor and delivery. She was always available to answer any questions we had...We are very happy with our experience with Erika as our doula. We look forward to having more children in the future! -- Jennifer and Danny, recent clients and first-timers.

Erika was wonderful during the birth of our daughter. She was very encouraging and helped my husband help me and comfort me. She was immediately available when we called and was there through the entire process. She gave us ideas on different pain relief techniques and positions to use during labor. She also helped me throughout my pregnancy by focusing me on making a birth plan and really made me think about different options that I had. I am very grateful that Erika was so supportive and helped me have a successful natural birth. -- Jessica, first time mom who had a medication-free birth.

I know that Erika's presence made all the difference in my birth! My husband was also very happy we had Erika. Thanks to her, my VBAC was a TOTAL SUCCESS! - Renee, successful VBAC
