Birth Doula

Being a DONA International trained Birth Doula fulfills my dream to help moms pursue the birth of their dreams.

During your labor Erica will use massage, movement, breath work, energy work, visualizations, various labor positions, meditations and aromatherapy as ways to support you. Your support will be unique to who you are. Erica relys on her intuitive nature for guidance and her ability to meet the needs and hold space for you and the entire family. Erica will always come from a non-judgemental place that works to empower you and nurture you. You will have unwavering support for what ever way you choose to birth your baby.
*A back-up doula will always be provided (in case of emergency)
