Things about Erika…
Getting to know someone for me is really important, so here is a little about me…
My heritage is Italian, German and British, with a real sense of Italy being home.
I have two children who are mirror images of myself and my partner; not in looks, but in character. The world is a happier place when I think of them.
Our Labrador dog is exuberant, joyful and huge. I often refer to him as my third child! He makes our family of four complete.
I’m drawn to nature, to open spaces, and to travel. In those, I am free.
You will always find me in flat shoes so that I don’t miss a beat!
So much of me is about memories, feelings and helping people achieve.
I’m never far from a camera. I see the memory I want to capture before my eyes, click, it’s frozen in time to be cherished at another time.
I believe in challenging our boundaries or at the very least giving ourselves the opportunity to try.
Invigorated and full of – can-do – my approach helps take you to a positive or healing outcome.
The book called ” The Secret ” was a light bulb moment for me.

Sweet words about Erika…
“She was an amazing source of comfort during my labour. She has a gift that can’t be put into words.”
N&S 2012
“She was a positive and calming presence“, “gave positive guidance” and “let us feel able to be ourselves during the whole time.”
S&M 2013
My favourite meal is lasagne filled with home-cooked ragu and love, just like my amazing Nonna used to make.
I am deeply nostalgic: images and smells are evocative of a time and experience for me, perhaps even of a previous life.
I grew up with many images in the family home – though in drawers and albums, but fundamentally always accessible.
The smell of a newly blossoming Gardenia plant is heaven! I have no choice but to close my eyes, feeling weightless and free.
My passion to travel comes from spending time away from the UK and I first flew when I was just a week old!
I often feel happiest when travelling a guilty pleasure of mine.
I am a birth professional offering Hypnobirthing, Birth Photography and Doula support for sentimental couples in Berkshire, and would love to hear from you!
