Hi everyone, my name is Erica Villagomez and I am a certified birth doula serving the SCV and surrounding areas. My passion for birth began during my own experiences with pregnancy. My philosophy is: birth is a sensitive and intimate experience; which is why I treat this honor of doula support with integrity and the utmost respect.

Hello Parents, I decided to begin my service as a Postpartum Doula because I have a passion for the wellness of women and children. I worked before as a Youth Liasion advocating for young people who battled homelessness. In my service, I met with several clients with little ones and they lacked the necessary resources to care for their children. I noticed the emotional strain that was placed on the mothers so I would help out where I could. I love spending time with children so I made the decision to become educated. My philosophy is this: you are not alone and it is perfectly fine to not know. You have support and you deserve it. My role is to help educate your family on how to care for your newborn and also provide emotional support so you can enjoy the process. Please feel free to reach out and contact me!

I have known and worked with Julie for over 20 years. Her knowledge, professionalism, experience, and level of compassion make her ideal choice for any support needs an expectant or new family may need. I spent many years working as a childbirth educator, doula, and L&D nurse. I have both referred my clients and used her services personally. I am very confident telling anyone they would be fortunate and grateful to have her as part of their support network.

Do you feel lost in your thoughts and tied down to responsibilities for others (maybe a partner/spouse, work, family members, church or even your child)? Sometimes this causes loss of self and identity, overwhelming anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, depression and dissatisfaction with life. We believe that hardship must be overcome by ourselves, however with time we learn we can't do it alone. As an Asian American therapist, I provide culturally responsible care and have successfully worked with high-achieving working professionals struggling with perfectionism, highly stressed and often experiencing low self esteem, reduced self worthiness, anxiety and depression. I am also passionate about working with issues around cultural conflict and parenting, intergenerational family trauma impacting relationship with self and family identity.
