Postnatal Client Stories
"Erin supported me as a post natal doula for 6 months. It was a challenging time with my husband working away and numerous issues with breastfeeding. Erin's support was invaluable during this time. I could breathe a sigh of relief during her visits, knowing that I could have a much needed break to go to the gym or rest. I instinctively trusted Erin to look after my daughter from the outset; she was so lovely and gentle with her. Erin has heaps of experience to call on in helping address the issues that come up on being a new mum. She also made delicious home cooked meals and snacks, and I'm still using some of her recipes. I would highly recommend her!"
Megan
"Erin supported me during my first anxious months as a mum of twins. She helped me look after them and keep the house running but most importantly allowed me to get some much needed sleep. I appreciated her calmness in the face of my uncertainty and her vast experience and knowledge was invaluable in navigating those early weeks."
Anupa
"I can't recommend Erin highly enough. She was the epitome of calm and kindness in those whirlwind first few months when it's total chaos! I had an elective C-Section and wasn't sure whether I wanted doula support, but it turned out she was just the the right fit for me and what I needed. I immediately felt at ease with her, trusted her implicitly around my baby, who instantly took to her, and valued her wisdom which was never forced on me but always gratefully received. As well as the advice and reassurance she was just a great listener and allowed me to take some small Time Outs to have a bath, go to a yoga class, get a breath of fresh air or simply sit in another room and have a moment all of which made me feel slightly more human! All safe in the knowledge my baby was in the best care."

Erin made my second experience of the early days of motherhood so different. Her constant support and caring advice have been invaluable. It made me realise not just how well I did the first time, but also that it shouldn't be about 'surviving' or 'getting through the days' but rather enjoying your baby and being able to get to know the new you with a child (or 2).
I want to recommend Erin to anyone needing support. The list of things she has helped me with is endless. Thank you Erin for keeping me sane.
