Erin is real and so is her book. I love her sweary book. I felt like fist pumping on the one hand and joining her expletives on the other.

Dr Erin has a wonderful, peaceful way with words that puts a refreshing look on a difficult subject. After doing her online course, I purchased this book to read and then gifted it to a friend who had recent birth trauma. Dr Erin talks about the things we need society to understand when it comes to birthing women and the implications. She helped me to feel seen and understood at a time where I felt so lost. I would recommend this to any friend who experiences birth trauma.
