“ Erica is an amazing soul! We first crossed paths when she was collecting menstrual products for the community. Since then she has taught me and helped me with multiple things from symptoms I experience during my moon cycle, educated me on the proper way to use a yoni steam, herbs to help with my iron levels, and just holding space whenever we talk! I am truly grateful for her and I enjoy every energy exchange with her!”

Beyond Birth & Bellies
because birth is a beginning, not the whole story!
Culture & Spirituality
Honoring our cultural roots is a powerful form of healing. While I bring the wisdom of my African and Taino ancestors into my practice, I strongly believe that our bodies respond most deeply to the traditions of our own lineage. In our work together, I will guide and encourage you to reconnect with the foods, herbs and spiritual practices of your own culture, as these hold unique power and resonance for each of us. Whether it's through ceremony, ancestral foods, or plant medicine, we'll explore ways to weave your heritage into your healing journey. Together, we'll keep these practices alive, not only for your well-being but for the generations to come.
Education
Our bodies are repositories of wisdom, and plant medicine is one of the most ancient ways we can tap into that wisdom for healing through bodywork practices like massage energy work, and herbal care, I support the physical, emotional, and energetic layers of your being. My approach is holistic--drawing from traditional methods of body care and combining them with the healing properties of herbs, both internal and external. Whether you're seeking relief from tension, emotional balance, or just time to reconnect with your body, we'll work together to create a care plan that nurtures your unique needs.
Body Work & Herbal Products
I believe that knowledge is liberation. Whether it’s through community workshops or personalized sessions, I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned to help you reclaim autonomy over your health and body. From understanding the medicinal properties of herbs to exploring the deep wisdom of the body's natural rhvthms, education is central to everything I offer. By connecting to plant medicine and body literacy, you'll walk away with tools and insights to support yourself and your loved ones, grounded in holistic, traditional approaches to care.
Body Literacy
Understanding your body is an act of reclamation. So much of the knowledge about our reproductive systems has beer hidden or medicalized in ways that disconnect us from our bodies' natural wisdom. Through my body literacy sessions, I provide a safe, affirming space to explore reproductive health in a way that's decolonized, holistic, and inclusive. Whether it's learning the basics of anatomy, understanding your menstrual cycle, or exploring the ways in which herbal remedies can support reproductive wellness, my goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to take control of your health and make informed decisions
