Erin's Story

From the delivery room to your pocket

I became a doula because I kept hearing the same story from new parents: they felt unprepared, unheard, and alone. Not because anyone failed them — but because pregnancy and birth throw you into unfamiliar territory fast, and our culture doesn't give parents the support they actually need.

I trained through COPE (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association) and have been attending births in the Minneapolis–Twin Cities area since 2017. Along the way, I added lactation education through UC San Diego Extension and became a Spinning Babies practitioner — because supporting a birth means supporting the whole journey, not just the final hours.

Over 200 births later, I've learned what parents actually worry about at 2am, what questions they're embarrassed to ask, and what knowledge genuinely helps them feel confident and calm. That's exactly what CradleWise is built around. Every guide, every video, every AI conversation is rooted in the real questions I hear every day.

In-person doula support is transformative — but it costs $1,500–$3,000 and isn't available in most places. CradleWise makes that same depth of doula expertise accessible to every family, everywhere, at a fraction of the cost. Because the wisdom shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford it.
