Hi, I'm Erica

​

I'm a birth & postpartum doula and Certified Lactation Counselor. I'm also a Lamaze trained Childbirth Educator serving New York City and parts of Long Island. 

​

I support people through birth and early parenthood with calmness, clear information, and deep respect for your autonomy. I don't believe in one "right" way to give birth, I believe in your way. 

​

My role is to walk beside you, helping you feel informed, supported, and steady as you move through one of the most powerful transitions of your life. I offer practical tools for comfort and coping, emotional attunement, and a grounded presence you can lean on when things feel intense or uncertain.

​

This is your threshold to cross. I trust you, and I trust the process. I lead with care and love every step of the way.
