Everyone needs a sidekick

Meet Yours, Erika Matkovich

I’m a Birth & Postpartum Doula serving families in the Greater Hamilton Area.

MY PASSION IS TO PROVIDE EACH FAMILY WITH A
POSITIVE & REALISTIC POSTPARTUM EXPERIENCE

After the postpartum experience with my firstborn, I realized there needed to be more support for new families. The feelings of isolation and insecurity of becoming a new mother were too overwhelming to ignore. Since 2017, I have been taking strides in bringing awareness in postpartum support in the Hamilton community and beyond.
Postpartum support means more than just holding a baby for a few hours. Supporting the entire family for even a few hours at a time can have a positive impact in the postpartum experience. Benefits can last a lifetime!
Meet Your Sidekick

A Friendly Hamilton Birth & Postpartum Doula

Hey there, I’m Erika. A multi-passionate entrepreneur. I go by birth & postpartum doula, personal support worker, sometimes photographer and a doula business mentor. I have the ability to latch on to a passion and see how can I support others and myself with this new found passion. When time permits you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee or downing a taco with friends in the #hamont community.  

I am a one of a kind, genuine badass. I have also heard the words “warm, hilarious, generous human and a professional baby holder”.  I love serving the world by providing each family I work with a positive and realistic birth & postpartum experience.

Side note: Ask me about my surrogate journeys.

Digging Deeper

I serve families who are totally into embracing all of the aspects of postpartum life with an open and even humorous mind. I am lucky to give them the gift of time to embrace parenthood. Time to heal. Time to rediscover and reconnect who they are as an individual and with each other.

When I’m not busy working with supporting families, I’m in a perpetual search of what makes me happy. You can also catch me in a coffee shop or taco joint enjoying the #hamont vibe.
