Hi friend! I’m Erica Spirko, founder of Into the Woods Doula + Yoga.

For more than a decade, my work has been rooted in yoga, birth, and supporting women through life’s transitions. Along the way, I have had the privilege of studying with experienced mentors, completing over 500 hours of yoga teacher training, becoming a DONA-certified birth doula, and continuing my education in prenatal and postpartum care. Each step has woven me into the guide I am today.

I am also a mama to three and have walked the trail myself. From my pre-children years of learning and teaching yoga, to the transformative years of birthing my own babies, I now hold the hands of other mothers and serve families in the journey that is parenthood.

When I’m not supporting families, you’ll often find me exploring outside with my family in the yard, on a trail or at our lake, learning in the garden, gathering around a campfire with the people I love, reading with a cup of tea or coffee nearby and paying attention to the quiet beauty and teachings of each season.

Why I Do This Work

It is time for families to feel held again. For women everywhere to have access to emotional, physical and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

My hope is that every family I support feels seen, informed, and deeply cared for.

I believe movement can build confidence.

I believe education eases fear.

I believe nervous system regulation changes the way we experience birth.

I believe community matters.

Most of all, I believe you already carry incredible wisdom within you.

Let’s hit the “trails” of birth!
