A Lifetime of Compassionate Care and Holistic Healing

Erica Falk holistic healing

Erica Falk is a dedicated healer and caregiver with over 30 years of experience in holistic wellness. Born and raised in San Francisco, Erica’s journey began in 1990 when she earned her certification as a Massage Therapist from the esteemed Heartwood Institute. Driven by an innate desire to help others heal, she began honing her skills in nurturing the body, mind, and spirit.

In 2001, Erica expanded her calling by becoming a certified birth doula through San Francisco’s Natural Resources. Volunteering at San Francisco General Hospital for four years, she worked closely with underserved populations, transforming lives with her compassionate presence and intuitive care. These experiences deepened her commitment to providing unwavering support during life’s most pivotal moments.

Erica’s pursuit of excellence in birth care led her to The Farm in Tennessee in 2010, where she trained under the legendary Ina May Gaskin as a midwifery assistant. This transformative experience shaped her holistic approach to childbirth, blending evidence-based practices with the sacred traditions of birth work.

In 2018, Erica extended her expertise into end-of-life care, becoming a certified End-of-Life (EOL) doula. This expansion of her practice allowed her to support individuals and families during life’s final transitions, bringing comfort, peace, and dignity to their journey.

Today, Erica is celebrated for her unique ability to nurture others through every stage of life. She is especially passionate about supporting expectant mothers with her signature prenatal and postpartum massages and rituals, blending healing touch with personalized care to honor the sacredness of motherhood.

With decades of experience, a deep well of knowledge, and a heart full of compassion, Erica Falk is a beacon of light for those seeking healing, guidance, and support through life’s most profound transformations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I am SO grateful I hired Erica and her amazing doula team for the recent birth of our daughter! We had a unique situation in that our baby was breech so we had to deliver via a scheduled c-section. Even without a traditional birth process, Erica was so, so valuable and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported. She gave us the option of converting the birth doula time to postpartum hours OR we could have her come to the hospital to be present before and during the c-section. We chose to have her accompany us to the hospital and are so glad we did. During the two hour prep process at the hospital, Erica was massaging me, comforting me, and encouraging me (and my husband).

She answered our questions, was a listening ear, and helped advocate for our desires with the hospital staff (e.g. a huge priority for us was a lot of skin-to-skin immediately after the operation). Not only did Erica help us voice our needs with the hospital, but she also spent several phone calls and prep sessions with us reviewing our birth plan/preferences so we could ensure the c-section went smoothly.

As much as I didn't want to have a c-section, the whole experience ended up being so much more wonderful and smooth than I could have imagined, and so much of that had to do with how much Erica prepped us for what to expect, how to advocate for our needs, and was a warm and encouraging voice throughout the process."
