“ In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.” Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn
Read what some of the families I have worked with have to say:
“Erica was a true gift during the births of my two children. My first labor took an unexpected medical turn, but when Erica joined me in the hospital, she provided support in a way that no one else could. She truly saw me, advocating for both me and my baby, making me feel completely cared for.
Her approach was perfectly balanced; she was firm when I needed guidance and loving when I needed comfort. Erica's confidence in the birthing process helped me remain calm and connected with my body and my baby during and after labor. I am forever grateful for her support, which empowered me to realize that my body was capable of achieving the miracle of childbirth.
Erica helped transform my experience into one of pride and joy, reminding me that I was part of a long lineage of women who have successfully brought life into the world. Thanks to her, I embraced my ability to give birth and celebrated the strength within me. I cannot recommend Erica highly enough for anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled doula.”

“Erica was my doula for my second labor and delivery.Knowing I could rely on her expertise and advocacy, and the plan we customized for my wishes for minimal intervention, helped me feel so much more confident leading up to, and during, the unmedicated birth of my son. Erica’s presence was an all around bonus… for me, my husband, and the hospital team!”

“Erica supported me throughout my entire experience as a first time mom - during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. She is very knowledgeable and as a first time mom she made me feel at ease! I had lots of questions, and Erica helped guide me any time something came up. She was always available to help. She helped us navigate the questions and concerns I had around being induced, and helped give me the confidence to advocate for myself to ensure I still had the delivery I wanted! My labor was a beautiful experience and I am so grateful for Erica’s guidance that taught me to trust my body.
Postpartum she was there for us as well, for breastfeeding and healing. When I first came home she helped with my babies latch, showed me different feeding positions, and even gave me peace of mind by weighing my baby before and after feeding, so I truly knew my baby was eating! My breastfeeding journey is still going great and I couldn’t have done it without her. She also supported my healing and was so caring to make sure I was doing good in my ealry postpartum days.
Being first time parents, there’s just so much to figure out and navigate. Having someone you can trust on your side ( who also has years of experience as a nurse in labor & delivery) is incredible. Me, my husband and our baby are all very grateful for Erica and can’t recommend her enough!”
