My journey into birth work began with my own experience-- becoming a mom for the first time, navigating the intensity of postpartum, and surviving trauma I didn't expect. In those early days, when everything felt like too much, my doula showed up in a way that changed everything. Their support quite literally saved my life. That experience lit a fire in me to become the person I once needed-- for other mamas navigating their own powerful, complex, and sacred transitions.

Hi, I'm Erika! I'm a Pennsylvania State Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, CPR certified, and passionate about helping families feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. Since 2021, I've had the privilege of supporting more than 70 families through birth and postpartum, providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each family's unique needs. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean birth, or simply looking for someone to guide and encourage you along the way, my goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and confident in your decisions. In addition to birth support, I provide overnight postpartum care, helping families adjust to life with a newborn by offering newborn care, breastfeeding support, emotional encouragement, education, and allowing parents the opportunity to rest and recover. My overnight shifts are designed to bring peace of mind during one of life's biggest transitions. My background also includes experience working in hospital settings, giving me a strong understanding of the healthcare system while allowing me to effectively collaborate with nurses, physicians, midwives, and other members of your care team. I believe birth is deeply personal, and every family deserves individualized support that honors their goals, values, and preferences. As your doula, I strive to be a calming presence, a trusted advocate, an educator, and a source of unwavering support, from pregnancy through the fourth trimester. It is truly an honor to walk alongside families during such a meaningful chapter of their lives, and I look forward to helping you feel confident, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
