Erin Piorier--Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Services






Kind words from my clients

"Erin was a god-send, literally.  Having her throughout the version and the birth, including before, during, and after was such a gift.  I had a very rough last week of the pregnancy, finding out the baby was breech, changing doctors, having a version, and in the end, a very long, difficult delivery. Erin put me at ease through all of it.  Two thing especially stand out

 

1.        When we found out our daughter was breech, Erin provided recommendations for getting the baby turned, including exercises and alternative doctors (ie. cranial sacral, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc)

2.       After I had the baby, I was in a lot of pain due to the tearing and stitches. Erin had herbal remedies to minimize the discomfort and speed up the healing. I remember her coming to the hospital the next day with an herbal mixture for the bathtub.  Truly, that was the first taste of relief I had felt since the first contraction.   

 

I never imagined giving birth would be so out of my control. (my daughter was going to arrive when and in the manner she wanted to)  I was so grateful to rely on the advice and support to get me through the most difficult thing I have ever experienced in my life.  "

"I am a doula and I knew that I wanted a doula when I gave birth, but I wasn't sure what role she would play.  Erin was an excellent choice.  She followed my lead through the contractions holding my hands and going with the rhythm of my labor.  When things got intense I gripped her hands more firmly and she provided steady ground for me to continue.  At one point I said, "I don't think I can relax through these anymore," and it was freeing for her to say, "You may not be able to."  She was truly a birth-partner for me--I don't know how I would have managed without her. 

 

I never anticipated that I would need an advocate at a homebirth, but the end of my labor didn't go smoothly and we were so glad we had Erin.  She spoke up when she knew I was nervous and confused.  My emotional wellbeing was at the forefront of everything she did.  Without a doubt, we will ask Erin to attend our next birth. 

 

Thanks for being there!"

"Erin Piorier was a huge blessing in the birth of my first child.  My husband and I cannot imagine the birth without her support.  I can be very shy and reserved and Erin was able to meet me where I was and made me feel very comfortable and empowered to have a positive birth experience.  I also was so appreciative of the post-natal visits-it was a important part of my recovery."
