Each person is the creator of their own birth process. This belief is the foundation of my practice as a midwife. There is no wrong way to have a baby, just a difference in the approach and options we have available. I am here to offer an approach that allows an individual to make their own informed decisions in the care process that takes place during this special time. By taking responsibility for our own health decisions, we have the opportunity to learn more about our basic needs and functions as human beings and can therefore make choices that correspond with our own best interests.

My path to midwifery began in 2006, when I attended a midwifery program in the state of Oregon. I returned to Wisconsin to apprentice as a student midwife, and during this time learned the art of midwifery from a variety of teachers. During my apprenticeship I was fortunate to travel to Uganda where I had the privilege to work with traditional birth attendants and expand my skill set. I became nationally certified and licensed in the state of Wisconsin as a midwife in 2015. Since I first began attending births, I have had to honor of witnessing hundreds of babies being born. It is my firm belief that birthing people are the ones delivering their babies, and my job is to facilitate that experience with knowledge, respect, and reassurance.

I am committed in my practice to providing high quality midwifery care, and maintaining accessibility to all persons seeking it. This includes continuing my education on social justice, accessibility, and cultural competency. My work in these areas will never cease, as I recognize the disparities in maternal and infant health care in the United States and pledge to include closing those gaps in my practice as a midwife.

What my clients are saying:

Jessica

"I first met Erin when she was a student midwife. I knew she was something special right off the bat, so it only made sense to hire her as our midwife when she opened her practice. Erin has a gentle yet professional way about her. I felt listened to and respected during my entire prenatal experience. She honored my autonomy while providing me guidance when needed. Erin was always prompt in her correspondence. She allowed me the opportunity to have the most satisfying birth I could have imagined. I would recommend Erin's midwifery services to anyone looking for a caring and respectful health care provider!”

Jenny

"We had a wonderful experience with Mama Moon Midwifery! Erin was always available for any questions we had, both during pregnancy and postpartum. She was extremely proactive in my prenatal care as I had some health issues. She helped us to feel completely comfortable in our first out of hospital experience and to achieve the birth we desired. I felt extremely supported throughout my whole pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. We would highly recommend her services to any expecting mom!”

Lisa

I am a first time mom and hired Erin as my midwife. She worked with me throughout my entire pregnancy. Working with Erin was absolutely amazing. She made me feel empowered to make my own decisions on what I thought was best for myself and for my baby. She was always there to answer any and all questions I had for her (and I had a lot). During labor and delivery, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Erin and her assistant, Melissa, were incredible. They gave me the power to choose the experience that I wanted while supporting me through it all. I ended up getting my home birth (and water birth) that I had been dreaming of and planning for and it was nothing short of amazing. I would absolutely choose Erin again for any future pregnancies.
