I’m here to walk beside you during your journey into parenthood - as someone who understands, has done this a time or two already, and has been on both sides of the birthing and postpartum experience. As your postpartum support system, I will meet you at every emotional and mental place that your birth journey takes you. I’m here to supplement, not replace – partners, parents, and siblings all have a unique role that I could never fill. This is a sacred tender time, and I’m here to support you and your family every step of the way with knowledge, encouragement, a personal approach, and a calming presence. |
About Me
My name is Erica Hunt. I married my husband Keith in 2003, and we've moved all over the United States as part of his Army career. We’re now happily settled in southern California with our two amazingly kind and talented children.
I’m passionate about birth education and taking care of one’s body the natural way. The three things I wish I did when having my own children are: 1) have a birth and postpartum doula, 2) placenta encapsulation, and 3) baby wearing. I’m now motivated to learn as much about birth and postpartum as possible and help other families with their own journeys. |

It is hard to find the right words to explain how fortunate we were to have Erica with us when we brought home our twin babies. She was the calm, the answer, the everything! She made sure I rested while she prepared meals, helped take care of the babies, among many other things. The list goes on and on. She answered all of our questions and was such a breath of fresh air in the beginning chaos. We could not have done it with out her and we wanted to keep her in our home forever. Erica, you truly are one of a kind and we will be forever grateful for everything you did for us."
