Erica Manto-Paulson

Erica has been a childbirth educator for ten years and a doula for over fifteen years.  She joined CAPPA as a childbirth educator in 2011 before adding a certification as a CAPPA labor doula shortly thereafter.  Erica joined the CAPPA labor doula faculty in 2013 and discovered a passion in teaching and supporting new doulas in the field. She offers in-person trainings in Ohio as well as virtually.

When not attending births Erica is active in the literary community in Ohio.  She recently published a book of poetry with Finishing Line Press that was inspired by her years as a doula as well as the births of her four children.  She lives in southwest Ohio with her husband and their beautifully blended family of nine.
