Erin is the  founder of Roseway Doula Care, a Certified Birth and Postpartum doula in Portland, Oregon with independent contractor privileges at Legacy and Providence Hospitals.

 

Erin grew up in the midwest, but has lived in almost every quadrant of Portland for the last 15+ years.  After a decade of teaching in public schools and abroad, Erin decided to build on her education background by pursuing another passion, health. Through pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting, she became fascinated with birth and child development.  However, paired with this awe was the shock of how challenging and transformational the changes were with limited societal supports. Would she have been less anxious with an experienced support person by her side? Yes! This realization encouraged her to become a doula.

 

Now Erin’s mission as a doula is to support birthing people and families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum while decreasing disparities for vulnerable populations and increasing positive birth experiences for all. 

​

When Erin is off-call she can be found hiking, biking and exploring with family and friends. She loves to read, play games, and laugh with her two kids and partner.
