Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Saratoga Springs, NY

I live in Rensselaer, NY with my fiancé, son and two cats. In my free time I love to cook, workout, and read. My philosophy is that every parent deserves to be met with unconditional support throughout their reproductive journey. It is my hope to always be able to offer my clients a way to be satisfied with their birth experience, no matter the circumstances. I have a special interest in the relationship between the mind, body, and baby during the process of birth and I often view the nervous system as a tool to tap into this system. I hope to pursue this interest and deepen my knowledge in the near future by completing a pre and post natal fitness coach certification.

Hi. My name is Erica, I am 35 and a mother of four. I became certified as a holistic doula in June 2024. I was lucky to have a doula for the birth of my first son and knew this was my calling. I advocate for all mothers decisions either natural births or medicated, and push for nurses and doctors to follow birthing plans to the best of their ability. I myself had three natural births and one c-section. I assist with any needs from pain management to help with breastfeeding. I am here to be the voice for mothers and babies during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum.

We fear labor and birth because it is unknown. Im here to educate, empower and support you throughout your pregnancy and labour using evidence based techniques and indigenous wisdom. If Doulas were a pill, every pregnant person would get one. Numerous Studies across the globe prove that that people who received continuous support were more likely to have spontaneous vaginal births and less likely to have any pain medication, epidurals, negative feelings about childbirth, vacuum or forceps-assisted births, and Cesareans. For this reason, doulas in the USA are in high demand because of their ability to lower the cost of birth by tens of thousands of dollars. In addition, doula assisted pregnant people's labors were shorter by about 40 minutes.
