At Nurture, everything we do is built around women on whatever stage of the Motherhood Journey they are on.   We believe in motherhood and birth celebrated & redefined – redefined to fit your story.

Welcome to the beginning of your story – we’re waiting for you.

Husband & Wife

Erica began her work as a doula over 17 years ago after experiencing, first hand, the difference a doula can make with her first VBAC in 2005. From there her passion for moms and birth ignited. As anyone who has worked with Erica as a doula, childbirth educator, or birth assistant knows, her confidence in birth and the strength of her amazing clients is evident in everything she does.

Scott spent his first career in engineering as a partner in a local automotive and aerospace firm for 25 years. He currently runs his own business as a freelance engineer. Scott is also a licensed pilot and elected official in their township.

As parents to 7 in their beautifully blended family, Scott and Erica love every moment of growing their family and their business together.  They work as a team at Nurture every day, celebrating your prenatal experience from a first ultrasound to birth and beyond.    

Scott and Erica are also passionate about giving back. They are official Volunteer Trainers for 4 Paws for Ability, a non-profit organization that breeds, raises, and trains service dogs for children and veterans with disabilities. The Paulsons also are an approved 4 Paws “Guardian” home. Guardian homes are charged with a very special mission – taking care of a breeder mom or dad! These dogs have litters of puppies which help ensure healthy, loving happy service dogs are placed with children and veterans in need. When visiting Nurture, you may see a 4 Paws Service dog around the office from time to time. Please feel free to talk to us about our 4 Paws dog or ask to pet them! 4 Paws dogs are extensively trained and very friendly.
