About Erin
Through Happy Hippie Doula, my mission is to rebuild the village — creating a community rooted in compassion, connection, and care, where every person feels supported through life's transitions. I believe no one should have to navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or personal growth alone. Through nurturing support, shared knowledge, and genuine human connection, we're bringing back the kind of community we all deserve.

Postpartum Doula Support
It's easy to feel like you're supposed to know how to do it all. You aren't. Postpartum services are designed to help you settle into your new rhythm with compassionate, practical, nonjudgmental support. Support may include: Newborn care education and reassurance Emotional support and a listening ear Feeding support within my scope of practice Light household tasks related to postpartum recovery Simple meal or snack preparation Helping families develop comfortable routines Providing time for rest and recovery Connecting families with additional resources when needed
Overnight Newborn Care
Overnight support provides an extra set of experienced, caring hands during those long nights, allowing families more opportunities to rest and recharge. Depending on your baby's needs and your family's feeding plan, overnight care may include: Attentive newborn care through the night Diaper changes and soothing Bottle feeding as directed by parents Bringing baby to a nursing parent for feeds Cleaning and organizing newborn feeding supplies Encouraging safe sleep practices Providing calm reassurance and practical guidance
What to expect
Compassion without judgment Every family is different. There is no single right way to give birth, parent, heal, or find balance. Knowledge and informed choices I believe you deserve access to reliable information, thoughtful guidance, and the freedom to make decisions that feel right for you. A calm, steady presence Sometimes the most powerful support is simply having someone beside you who listens, reassures, and reminds you that you're capable. Community over isolation My hope is that every connection through Happy Hippie becomes one small step toward rebuilding the village.
