Erica Tempesta is a doula, nurse, and midwifery student who came to birth work through a commitment to bodily autonomy and shared decision making for all. A former teacher, she loves to help people understand their experiences and options as they grow their families. She has been supporting people through pregnancy in all its outcomes for almost ten years and in all settings. Erica has lived many places, but she has set down roots in NW Arkansas along with her partner, two children, three dogs, three chickens, community of friends, and her unruly garden.
