"Erin is wonderful. She was a great support during our perfect birth!" - Eric, dad to Baby Nora
"We immediately felt so comfortable in her calm presence." ​- Brittany, mom to Baby Graham

My model of care is to provide warm and inclusive support so you can focus on bringing baby into the world. Certified by DONA, Childbirth International, HypnoBirthing® and Hypnobabies, I have served 100+ families birthing at hospitals, homes and birth centers throughout the Twin Cities. Having supported first-time and repeat parents, unmedicated births, medicated births, parents of multiples, VBAC parents, and those planning cesarean births, I bring passion and a commitment to helping you have your best birth. 

​I view birth as a normal and healthy part of a family's life experience, and I come alongside you to bring comfort and peace of mind going into labor and throughout the process by offering physical and emotional support, providing evidence-based information, and suggesting techniques to reduce fear and build confidence!

I might be your doula if...

• You want an experienced, confident guide on your side.
• ​​​​You desire a positive and fully-supported experience for your family.
• You value humor and honesty.
