History
Established in 2006.
Husband & Wife team. Erica began her work as a doula over 17 years ago after experiencing, first hand, the difference a doula can make with her first VBAC in 2005. From there her passion for moms and birth ignited. As anyone who has worked with Erica as a doula, childbirth educator, or birth assistant knows, her confidence in birth and the strength of her amazing clients is evident in everything she does.
As parents to 7 in their beautifully blended family, Scott and Erica love every moment of growing their family and their business together. They work as a team at Nurture every day, celebrating your prenatal experience from a first ultrasound to birth and beyond.
Scott and Erica are also passionate about giving back. They are official Volunteer Trainers for 4 Paws for Ability, a non-profit organization that breeds, raises, and trains service dogs for children and veterans with disabilities.
