Our Team
Hi! I’m Erica, a Certified Nurse Midwife with 15 years of experience. I’ve had the privilege of guiding moms through the beautiful and sometimes challenging journey of pregnancy, birth, and beyond. As a mother of four, I understand how personal and unique each experience is. My passion for women’s health and breastfeeding has shaped my approach to care. My goal is to empower families to achieve their health and wellness goals in a way that feels right for them. I’m dedicated to offering compassionate, personalized care that ensures each family feels supported and thrives.
Hello! My name is Kat Southard, and I am a Registered Nurse and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist located in Montgomery County, Tennessee. I am passionate about advocating for and empowering families to achieve their personal health goals on their breastfeeding journey. I spent the first 10 years of my professional career as a family and early childhood advocate. I have been a Registered Nurse since 2015 and completed my bachelor’s in nursing through the University of Cincinnati. I became a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist in 2018 and have since devoted my time to providing lactation support in military communities as my family moved across the United States supporting my husband’s military career. I believe in supporting families by providing current, evidence-based information and service that emphasizes inclusion, respect, and personalized care.
Nikki has been working in the field of breastfeeding and human lactation since 1975. She has worked in clinics, homes, city and county health departments, hospitals, intensive care units, medical schools, and universities, both in person and virtually.
She is an author ( 2 books and several monographs) , a nurse, a teacher, a holistic lactation consultant, a craniosacral therapy practitioner, a yoga instructor, and a baby body worker (teaching Infant Massage and TummyTime!) She is mother to 2 wonderful (breastfed for a long time) daughters.
Testimonials
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Erica, and I can’t explain enough how phenomenal the experience was. From our first meeting, it was clear that she was knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive.
Throughout my pregnancy, Erica provided invaluable guidance, answering all my questions and helping me navigate the often overwhelming world of childbirth options. She took the time to understand my preferences and fears, tailoring the support to meet my specific needs. With her help, support, and guidance, I achieved my VBAC after two C-Sections. I felt safe and reassured through the whole process and couldn’t express my gratitude enough for being such an outstanding Doula to work with. My family and I will be forever grateful for this experience”.
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Erica, and I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be breastfeeding today without her unwavering support. From our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands—Erica’s knowledge, compassion, and dedication truly set her apart”.
“Nobody in my family had breastfed for very long, so I wasn’t sure I could either. After meeting with the Bundle of Joy team, I felt supported and confident. With their tips and guidance, I am now successfully breastfeeding—something I didn’t think was possible. My family and I are forever grateful.”
“I had been struggling with breastfeeding, and it was becoming overwhelming, but the Bundle of Joy team provided the guidance and encouragement I desperately needed. They helped me navigate every challenge, from latching issues to supply concerns, and always made sure I felt supported”.
