About Us

We're a collective

We're a collective of mothers who believe in the incredible power and intuition of pregnant people and mothers. We're here for you - from that positive pregnancy test through the sleepless nights, seemingly unrelenting toddler years, and way, way beyond. For the losses, the joys, and the challenge of holding so many emotions at the same time.

We have decades of experience in women’s health and wellness - we're birth and postpartum doulas, activists, yoga teachers, holistic health coaches, acupuncturists, mentors, and so much more.

We live by our values 

We recognize that as mothers we are agents of social change and make it a priority to guide our children, families, and communities to affirm the experiences of people of all races, genders, identities, ages, religions, abilities and experiences.

We are committed to creating a diverse and welcoming community where everyone feels empowered to share their full, authentic selves. We take a holistic approach where differences are celebrated and valued.

​Our community is based on non-judgemental support and is a place for everyone who identifies as a mother to be seen and heard. 

We believe in the power of community

When we come together and share deeply we realize that we are not alone. We recognize that so much of our suffering is because of our culture, not because of personal deficits. Instead of constantly trying to change ourselves we can get together and we can change the system that doesn't value motherhood.

We're gathering in-person and online

We'd love to welcome you to a circle - in pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. 

Want to get a sense of what we're about? Join us on Mama Love - our online community for pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.

From an early age, Erin developed a passion to help families which led her to a career as a family therapist. While working as a therapist, she quickly noticed that poor sleep was at the root of many of her client's challenges. When she became a mom and recovered from postpartum depression with sleep deprivation, she knew that she wanted to help more families become rested, healthy, and happy. Erin received her certification from the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management in order to change the lives of more families by providing them with the right tools and compassion needed to become well rested. ​
