Who I am

If you've ever felt like no one actually prepared you for who you'd become after having a baby, you're not alone. And you're not doing it wrong. The village just stopped showing up.

Hi, I'm Erica. A mom of two, a postpartum care professional, a Nurture Neuroscience Trained Practitioner, and a Certified Motherhood Studies Practitioner.

My first postpartum experience was lonely. I was afraid of losing myself to motherhood, so I chased every expert opinion I could find, trying to build an identity that felt like "good enough." What I didn't realize, though, was that I'd been trying to become someone else's version of a mother instead of my own.

So I started doing the work: healing, self-discovery, and figuring out what motherhood actually looked like for me, made up of all the parts of who I am. By the time my second child arrived, I had a completely different vision of motherhood, and postpartum felt nurtured and spacious. Giving myself to caregiving, as long as it was on my terms, didn't feel like a loss anymore.

Now I help new moms do the same work, without having to figure it out alone.

I offer Nurtured Infant Sleep Support and 1:1 Motherhood Coaching packages, to support you through the three things I wish someone had helped me with: building your community, learning to nurture both your baby and yourself, and navigating the identity shift that comes with becoming a mother.

Whether you're feeling isolated, uncertain about who you are now, or just trying to find your footing in the first year — you don't have to piece it together by yourself.
