"Thank you Erika"

"Erika, your support during the birth of Matilda gave us the ability to really enjoy and feel empowered by our birth experience. What fear and apprehension we may have had before quickly faded into a strength we never knew we had. Thank you dearly for your knowledge, strength and support. You truly have changed our lives" - Sandy and Justin Pritchard.

---------------------

"We felt comfortable immediately after meeting Erika, she has a great sense of humour and is passionate about her role as Doula.  On the day she was nothing short of miraculous, she spent as much time on her knees as I did birthing our son!!!

Having her there helped me concentrate and focus on birthing our son.  Her guidance and words of support and encouragement were exactly what I needed, I felt totally safe and secure in her hands, always feeling supported and Erika knew what I needed without me asking.

For my partner she was an angel.  He knew he could help me through if we didn't have a doula but when she arrived he was so relieved and could then relax and enjoy the birth experience with me.  She guided him beautifully in ways to help me like massage exactly as I needed through my contractions.

We were so thrilled that Erika could share our experience, she was supporting, loving, unobtrusive and held the space for us perfectly.  We plan on having another child and we will definitely be calling on Erika to help us through again"...Kerry and Anthony.
