About
Erica
Your Birth Coach
Founder and Owner of The Mothers Companion
BA.Sc, CD, CHC
Erica’s journey for birth work began in 2017 after watching the documentary The Business of Being Born. At the time, she was working as a Forensic Accountant, but the film left such a profound impact that it awakened a calling within her. Soon after, she made the decision to leave her corporate career and become a Doula, with a mission to advocate for better birth outcomes for both mothers and babies.
With over eight years of experience, Erica has supported countless families through one of the most transformative moments of their lives. She believes that the way a woman is supported during labor can deeply shape their birth memory. Through gentle encouragement, informed education, and unwavering presence, Erica empowers mothers to trust their intuition and embrace the birth process with confidence. Entering the birth world before having children herself gave her a unique perspective—free from personal birth trauma—which allowed her to hold clear, compassionate space for the families she serves.
Erica is also trained in Spinning Babies, breastfeeding support, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, and Christian prenatal yoga. She believes birth is sacred and should be honored as such. Every mother who desires a physiological birth deserves dignity, respect, and the space to labor undisturbed.
Outside of being a doula and birth educator, Erica is a wife, a home birth mother, and lover of Jesus! She enjoys tending to her garden, walking her dogs, and curled up reading a good book.
Families can trust Erica to walk alongside them in this sacred journey—heart first, hands ready.
