TESTIMONIALS
“Working with Erica has been wonderful! From the first phone call, she made me feel comfortable and excited about pregnancy and the birthing process. For me, sitting down with Erica to go through her holistic childbirth education course was very reassuring and confirmed my decision to go for a natural, unmedicated birth. It was a great experience to add to my birthing education prep, and made me feel empowered to give birth. I think the biggest benefit of working with Erica was getting my husband involved though!
Watching "The Business of Being Born" together and bringing him along to meet with Erica really opened his eyes to why I'm choosing to try to avoid medication and intervention for our birth. It got him on board 100%!
Erica's course was informative and educational in a short amount of time - perfect for busy parents-to-be and especially for dads! We didn't have to commit to multiple classes, but still felt like we were well-educated.”

“Erica was a knowledgeable, thorough and a kind companion throughout my pregnancy and birth journey. She is very passionate about her work and it showed in the attention she gave both in our prenatal appointments and through my birth experience. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for help in navigating their birth options as well as anyone who needs physical and emotional support for their delivery.”

“I can’t recommend The Mother’s Companion and Erica enough. Erica is incredibly passionate about her work—she is truly all in. From the very beginning, she made me feel fully supported, always showing up with kindness, patience, and genuine presence. She listened carefully to my requests and desires, making me feel heard and respected every step of the way. What really sets Erica apart is how resourceful she is. No matter the circumstance, she goes above and beyond to ensure you feel cared for and empowered. If you’re looking for someone deeply committed to walking alongside you on your birth journey, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Erica. “

“She was a constant source of education, support and comfort. She was always available to send me yoga poses, helpful pregnancy tips for comfort & health, and resources like the childbirth class we took. If you're looking for a doula who is genuinely interested in your pregnancy, Erica is the doula for you! She is compassionate, dedicated, and helpful in a variety of circumstances. Erica was always calm, advocated for me, and comforted me when I was in pain, exhausted, and upset.”

“She is attentive, sensitive to any cultural situation, knowledgable and was very responsive to all of our questions. We are glad that we chose her for our son birth. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family!”

“She is kind, compassionate and genuinely cares about me and my baby’s well being.”
- Ariel H. 2019 (breastfeeding home visit client)
“She followed up after every dr apt I had, and sent encouragement when many others were not. The small things like having a folder of resources ready for our first meeting, and the birthing cards, or the small texts reminding me to stay on track and healthy in the last weeks! When considering a Doula – consider one who will listen, take notes, help you learn, advocate for you and your family, stay calm, is eager to help, and has the drive and passion.”
- Sarah, Matt, and Mav D. 2019 (birth doula client)
“Erica went out of her way to really get to know our children and to make them feel comfortable. On one of the day’s Erica was over she surprised the children by bringing a large bag of different colored fall leaves, crayons and some paper over. The kids really enjoyed the fun activity she had planned. They loved tracing the leaves on paper with all the different colored crayons she provided. Erica shared some breastfeeding tips and techniques with me and provided assistance with basic newborn care. She also helped me out with picking up the groceries, dropping items off at the UPS store, laundry, dishes, etc. just so I could spend more time with the baby and rest. Those little things really helped make a big difference! I would highly recommend Erica to all expecting parents. She can help make the postpartum transition easier for families and she is great with children of all ages! My kids adored her, and she fit right in with our family! When we start planning for baby #5 I will be sure to give her a call again!”
