Erica L. Shoemate
Maternal Health Strategist & Policy Advocate
As a Maternal Health Strategist, I work to bridge the gap between communication and compassion to create a more supportive, understanding and efficient experience for all parties involved. I want our pregnant mothers to feel empowered in their decision making by providing the information they need. I have an unmatched ability to help Mamas feel SAFE by creating a space that is equipped to hear them accurately.
