Two of our three children were born in Switzerland. The experience was profound. The care and attention we received was without compare!
As a Canadian birthing abroad I began to see the gaps within the North American culture surrounding the childbearing year. It was this experience, in 2001, while pregnant with our first child that my passion for supporting families ignited. In 2006, upon our return to Canada my journey in the maternal-child profession began. I enrolled in Birth and Postpartum Doula training with DONA International and have never looked back! I am dedicated to childbearing families with an eye for building healthy communities. I hold the following qualifications:
Although I was born and raised on Vancouver Island I consider Alberta home. Our family is settled on an acreage just outside of Sundre, my husband’s home town. Prior to moving here we lived in both Northern and Southern, Alberta which has given me a deep understanding of the current birth culture in our province. For this reason I am focused on providing comprehensive education, care and support to referred and repeat families in Calgary and new clients in Sundre, Olds, Cochrane, Airdrie and all surrounding areas. I firmly believe rural maternity matters! As an active member of the Alberta birth community I teach prenatal classes, attend births, offer in-home breastfeeding consultations and support and provide families with postpartum services - including overnight care for families with multiples and singletons. I am also the owner and director of an Alberta Birth Services Agency and volunteer my time as the bi-weekly Breastfeeding Circle facilitator at the Parent Link Centre in Cochrane. I teach the DONA-approved Birth Doula Training program at Mount Royal University (MRU) in Calgary, as well as a Breastfeeding for Doulas + Healthcare Professionals class and serve as the Vice-President for the MaternityCare Consumers of Alberta Network (MCAN). Where ever you are in your journey, and whatever has lead you here, I encourage you to connect. Support is available, in many capacities, and I would consider it a privilege to walk alongside your family however you’d like to define it! Warmly, Erin Moyen |
Testimonial:
We had an amazing experience with Erin. We met with her for several visits prior to the birth of our son and she attended our 22 hour natural labor and birth. We absolutely couldn't have had a more successful and memorable experience without her. She was knowledgeable, professional, kind, caring and exactly the support we needed. I don't think we could have had the same positive labor and birthing experience without the expertise she provided. She also gave us excellent postpartum breastfeeding support. She was easy to talk to, compassionate and I can't imagine having gone through the experience without her by our side. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a positive birth experience. 5/25/2016
