Erin A. Clark - Your Doula EAC
"Erin was born to be a Doula." - Maegan Baron
Erin has always loved the birth experience and has spent years supporting her friends during their childbirth experience. A few years ago, she decided to leave teaching Kindergarten and focus on childbirth education and supporting families transitioning into parenthood.
She has attended trainings with DONA, Mamatoto Village, Spinning Babies, Birth-Ready Method, Divine Birth Wisdom-Grandma's Hands Herbalist Course, and several other workshops and courses.
What's most important to Erin in this work is creating an environment in birth that is nurturing, educated and smells amazing. Erin has always believed that "Every Body needs a Doula," and deserves to be pampered into motherhood while learning about the different options and choices that are available to them wherever they choose to give birth.
