Work with Erika – Taboo Doula support

I offer 1:1 support, circles, and organizational workshops at the thresholds of death, grief, caregiving, and sexual embodiment.

Sessions are available in person within the greater Des Moines area, or remotely by phone or Zoom.

Insights from the Hearth

These writings are offerings from the hearth, a warm place where every part of the journey is welcome.

I write about death, grief, caregiving, shame, sex, embodiment, and the quiet work of coming back to ourselves. Longing, pleasure, stillness, rage, rest, and all the in-between states belong here.

At Rosemary Raven Hearth, my Taboo Doula work holds space with tenderness and without judgment. Each person’s path is treated as sacred. Whether you are letting go, holding on, falling apart, or beginning again, you are welcome in this circle.

You are not too much.
You are not alone.

At Rosemary Raven Hearth, Erika offers a sanctuary of presence, a place where love lingers, where dignity is upheld, and where every transition is met with gentle grace. As a Taboo Doula, she walks with people in the places culture most often looks away from, including death, grief, and sexual embodiment.
