Erica Verling

Birth & Postpartum Doula, Photographer from Dublin, supporting families in Dublin City & surrounding areas.

My name is Erica and I qualified as a Birth and Postpartum Doula at the end of 2024, with DoulaCare Academy!

My passion lies in supporting families as they navigate the incredible transformation into matrescence. With a background in psychological studies, I have a deep appreciation for the emotional and mental shifts that come with pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester. I strongly believe that every family deserves to feel seen, nurtured and cared for during this time. My approach is warm, inclusive, and affirming of all family structures, including LGBTQ+ parents. Whether I am offering practical support, a listening ear, or guidance on postpartum recovery, my goal is to create a calm, reassuring presence in your home.

I am especially passionate about postpartum nutrition and I love helping new parents nourish themselves with comforting, wholesome meals. Alongside my work as a doula, I’m also a portrait photographer, and I’m really excited about integrating this into my doula packages. Capturing the raw, beautiful moments of early parenthood. Whether it’s the tender connection between you and your baby, the quiet strength of postpartum, or the joyful chaos of new family life, it feels like such a natural extension of my work. These images become timeless keepsakes of a deeply transformative time. I am a firm believer in the power of emotional support. Sometimes, simply having someone to talk to over a lovely hot cup of tea can make all the difference
