Meet Your Midwife


Ericka Porter, LDEM, CPM

My name is Ericka, and I am the owner of Mountain Midwifery & Wellness. I have been in love with birth work for as long as I can remember. There is something so profound and spiritual about it that resonates with me on a deep level. Supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that continues to inspire me every day.

I began my journey in 2016, walking alongside women as they prepared for positive, empowered birth and postpartum experiences as a birth photographer and doula. In 2021, I began training as a midwife’s apprentice in Washington state and finished out my numbers in Kentucky in 2025. In 2026, I officially completed my bachelor’s of science in midwifery from the Midwives College of Utah. It is a true honor to witness the magic of birth as my life’s work!

I am also a mother of three wonderful children and have shared life with my husband for 17 years. My personal experiences as a mother have shaped the compassion, understanding, and individualized care I bring to each family I serve.

Outside of birth work, I enjoy herbal and holistic living, culinary arts, and aromatherapy. I love creating thoughtful, natural offerings and resources that support families throughout their journeys, from nourishing postpartum foods and herbal preparations to placenta encapsulation services.

I look forward to walking alongside you with knowledge, compassion, and respect as you prepare for one of life’s most transformative experiences.

I support homebirths, but will transfer with you in an emergency!
