Erin Reese
Hello from Birth Alchemy! I’m a Certified Doula, Yoga Teacher with a focus on women’s and pelvic health, and a certified Love/Sexologist. My work is rooted in the belief that birth is a sacred, transformational rite of passage—and that every birthing person deserves to feel seen, supported, and honored in their power. I offer holistic, hands-on support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, blending evidence-based care with mindful movement and a deep respect for the emotional and sensual layers of birth. I also integrate pelvic floor awareness, breathwork, and embodiment practices to help clients feel safe, empowered, and connected to their bodies throughout their journey.
Let's Do You Doula
After my son's birth, I was reeling from how incredible my birth journey was. I heard so many horror stories from friends and family about how their birthing days went. I was appalled for them. Most were pushed around by hospital staff, forced into unnecessary c-sections or just completely unaware of what options they had! I became determined to be an advocate for women who want to feel validated and that they can birth the way they choose. I wanted to be able to provide a beautiful experience, to anyone who desired it. Having my son empowered me to help other women have the birth of their dreams. I strive for a smooth, calm process, free from stress, judgement and fear. Whether it be at home, a birth center or hospital, all natural, medicated or planned c-sections, I believe that women should be able to do things their own way. Because each and every woman, birth and baby is different, I take pride in supporting you, however you choose to proceed. Hospitals can get confusing, nurses/OB's can get impatient, let me be your advocate through this journey. Let me help you, do you. Let's birth the way that you want.
