About Rosemary Raven Hearth
Erika Hall is a Taboo Doula, holding space at the thresholds of death, grief, sexuality, and embodiment. Through Rosemary Raven Hearth, she tends the places our culture most often avoids: the final chapters of life, the intensity of loss, and the sacred return to the body through pleasure, desire, and self-connection. Her work invites people to meet these “taboo” edges with honesty, curiosity, and care.
As a Taboo Doula, Erika’s sexual embodiment work is about walking with people exactly where culture tends to look away. For almost four years, she has been supporting individuals and groups in unlearning sexual shame, reclaiming pleasure, and building a kinder, more honest relationship with their bodies. Her approach blends nervous system awareness, consent-centered practice, and real talk about desire, trauma, and boundaries: no purity culture, no moralizing, no performance pressure. She is certified through The Embody Lab in integrative somatic and embodiment work, and she is actively pursuing a PhD in sexual education as well as certification with AASECT to deepen both the academic and clinical backbone of what she offers. Her role is not to “fix” anyone, but to companion people as they remember that their body, desire, and pleasure are not problems; they are sources of truth, power, and connection.
With five years of devoted end-of-life practice, Erika also serves as a compassionate Death Doula and End-of-Life Advocate, walking alongside individuals and their loved ones with presence, ritual, and practical support. She is a member of the International Association of Professional Death Doulas and the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA).
By weaving together deathwork, grief support, and sexual embodiment into one cohesive hearth, Rosemary Raven Hearth offers a sanctuary for those navigating endings, identity shifts, and the reclamation of their own bodies and stories. Here, nothing human is “too much,” and every transition is met with grounded, unapologetic compassion.
Community and resources
Rosemary Raven Hearth offers reflections and tools for real end-of-life conversations, active grief, and embodied living. On the blog and in the RRH Library you’ll find writing, practices, and printables to support caregivers, the dying, and anyone learning to live with loss. Many pieces also explore reconnecting with the body and pleasure during and after grief.
Join our conversations
Rosemary Raven Hearth is a home for honest talk about death, grief, caregiving, sex, and the body. Through circles, Death Cafés, Sex Cafés, and community gatherings, I host spaces where people can sit together with the questions most of us were taught to avoid. Each room is designed to be a gentle, consent-centered space where nothing human is too much.
Connect with Erika
If you are curious about 1:1 support, circles, or bringing a Taboo Doula offering to your community, you are welcome to reach out. You can contact me, join an upcoming event, or simply start a conversation about what you need. Together, we can meet these tender topics with honesty, care, and respect for the full spectrum of human experience.
Engage with purpose
Rosemary Raven Hearth invites you to live with intention and to step into the conversations that matter most. Through personal stories, embodied care, and practical resources, I walk with people through the complexities of life, loss, and the sacred return to self.
Get involved
If this work speaks to you, you can start by reading, attending a circle, or sending a message about what you need. Every conversation helps change how we talk about death, grief, sex, and the body, and how we care for ourselves and each other through those transitions.
