Erika Gagnon, RN, IBCLC, PCD(DONA)
Erika started her career at The Elliot Hospital (Manchester, NH) on the labor and delivery and maternity units for 2 years, followed by 9 years at Dover’s Garrison Women’s Health Center (her second family). She’s excited to now experience another side of supporting moms, babies and their entire families in a non-medical way.
Erika was a bit blindsided by her insecurity as a new mom. She thought she’d be a pro. That feeling of insecurity really opened her eyes to the importance of continued support AFTER your baby enters the world. “The 4th trimester” can be beautiful, transformational, challenging, exhausting, scary, empowering, along with many many more emotions. A focus of hers when working with families will be to recognize those challenging, scary, exhausting times and help support you through them, empowering you with up to date information and compassionate care. And sleep! Because, well, who doesn’t want more sleep?
She lives in Rollinsford, NH with her husband, 4 children, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 flocks of chickens and 3 pigs! When she’s not shuffling all the kids around between school and activities she enjoys knitting, sewing, cooking, baking and most recently interested in antiquing! Erika has become a new mom 4 times and after each birth, the dynamics shifted in the family and there were challenges in each phase. She says, “There is beauty in each phase even if you have to really squint to see it.”
Ashley Hartman
Ashley Hartman is a postpartum trained by DONA International. She holds a degree in psychology with a focus on child development and is trained in perinatal mental health. With over a decade of experience working with children and families, she brings both professional insight and deep personal empathy to every family she supports.
Having had her three children in three different states—always far from family—Ashley knows firsthand how critical the postpartum period is. Even with experience, nothing fully prepared her for the emotional weight and vulnerability of new motherhood. That lived experience is at the heart of her approach.
Ashley strives to be a steady, nonjudgmental guide through the early weeks and months of parenthood. She holds space for your questions, your feelings, and your unique needs, offering calm, compassionate care that centers you.
She lives on the Seacoast of New Hampshire with her husband, their three daughters, and three beloved dogs—all boys.
Her personal mantra is assess, don’t obsess—a gentle reminder to tune in, trust yourself, and take it one moment at a time.
You’ve got this—and she’s got you.
Tegan Goodridge, PCD(DONA)
Tegan is a postpartum doula, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, mother of 4 amazing grown children and a natural born caregiver.
Her job as a postpartum doula is to help Mom adjust to being a Mom in Body, Mind and Spirit in the first three months after birth.
As a child, Tegan always knew she wanted to grow up and be a Mommy. That was all she can remember wanting to be. She would take care of her younger brother for her Mom when she needed or sometimes when she did not need her to!
She loved to look after her neighbors’ children and be a mother’s helper, and when she was old enough, she babysat. She babysat, babysat and babysat some more! She worked in day cares and at summer camps. She provided at home daycare for her friends’ children and worked in a Kindergarten classroom for 4 years. Every job Tegan has ever had was with children.
In other words, Tegan has been a doula for far longer than she’s been certified for. She’s been taking care of Moms, babies and families for as long as she can remember and she looks forward to continuing with you.
“Jaynie & Morgan helped tremendously in making the transition from one child to two and the recovery from birth pretty seamless.”
