About Erika

Things about Erika…

Black and white image of Erika Townend and her children

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.

Things about Erika...A blossoming white Gardenia flower just as women do in Birth

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!
