Meet Erica: Three Decades of Wisdom & Heart

I believe every family deserves a steady, experienced presence as they navigate life’s most profound transformations. With over 30 years as a healer and 25 years as a full-spectrum doula, my work is rooted in the belief that birth is the beginning of everything... identity, family, and a love that changes you forever.

My journey began in 1990 as a Massage Therapist and evolved into a deep calling for birth work. In 2010, I had the life-changing opportunity to train at The Farm in Tennessee as a midwifery assistant under Ina May Gaskin. That experience solidified my approach: blending the sacred traditions of physiological birth with evidence-based, modern advocacy.

Whether I am supporting a family in a hospital or home birth, providing restorative prenatal massage, or offering clarity in end-of-life transitions, my goal is the same: to meet you where you are with deep listening and intuitive guidance. I’ve supported hundreds of births across Sonoma, Marin, and San Francisco, and I would be honored to hold space for yours.

"The first time I ever spoke with Mary I knew I was in the right place at the right time. I was going through a crossroads in my life grieving the loss of a close family member, raising a toddler, and had spent a decade plus trying to find a job that I was meant to pursue. Just a one hour conversation with Mary changed my life forever.

I am now one year into my dream career, well on my way healing from my loss and taking motherhood mindfully and gratefully. Through our first conversation I realized that the universe was telling me to follow this path my whole life and I was blind to it the whole time. I had it all inside me the whole time but it wasn’t until I spoke with Mary that the stars aligned and I started living the life I was always intended to.

She listens, she cares, she helps you see what you were always intended to see. She is my mentor, my spirit guide and a living guardian angel. I can’t say enough good about her. I am so glad our paths have crossed and we will be connected for life."
