🌿 Meet one of Earthside's Birth Assistants! 🌿

Erica Voehl is one of Earthside's amazing birth assistants!

Erica began her training as a birth assistant two years ago, completing an online birth assistant training course, hands-on training with the Earthside team, and her Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) certification.

She is passionate about helping women achieve positive and empowering birth experiences.

During births, you might find Erica charting, setting up equipment, providing those amazing hip squeezes, or quietly finding little ways to make the birthing environment more comfortable and inviting. She is always ready to jump in wherever she's needed!

When Erica isn't attending births, you can find her spending time with her husband and two children, serving her church family, gardening, running her cleaning business, or doing just about anything else she can fit into her busy schedule!

We are so blessed to have Erica as part of the Earthside team! ❤️

Beautiful fall morning to welcome a sweet baby girl. ❤️

Baby kept everyone guessing as to when she would arrive and finally decided it was just the right time.

Mama worked so hard to birth her beautiful baby girl via a gentle water birth, directly into Dad's waiting hands. ❤️🌊

Welcome Earthside little one!

I love so many things by "Melanie the midwife".

Follow her for amazing birth wisdom. ❤️

🥑 We only push a baby out of our va**na a few times a lifetime - you can’t be expected to be an expert… unless you’ve got the free 3-video series that I made you to show you how to push without panic and stay calm while crowning

🥑 You can watch it tonight and be ready to push your baby out by tomorrow. Comment PUSH and I’ll send you the link to the videos

🥑 You might not know how to push now, but you will after watching the videos. Comment PUSH and they are all yours

🌿 Meet the Midwife! 🌿

Abbie Paulson is the midwife behind Earthside Midwifery!

Her journey into birth work began 12 years ago when she became a birth doula and certified breastfeeding counselor. For 8 years, she supported mothers through labor and birth in the hospital setting before deciding she wanted to take the next step and become a midwife.

In 2022, she began midwifery school through the National College of Midwifery, completing her clinical training in both home birth and birth center settings. She founded Earthside Midwifery in early 2025. ❤️

Some of her favorite things about midwifery care include:
🌿 Connecting with clients and building deep, meaningful relationships
🌿 Helping women achieve the birth experiences they desire
🌿 Supporting the natural physiology of birth
🌿 Creating beautiful, peaceful birthing environments
🌿 Witnessing the strength of mothers and the beauty of God's design for birth
🌿 Using her midwifery skills when extra support is needed

When she's not attending births, you can find Abbie spending time with her husband and five children, homeschooling, enjoying the outdoors, cooking, or getting lost in a good book. 📚🌷

Interesting placenta and cord variations in my practice lately.

- one true knot In the cord
- one vessel that ran through the membranes

Both of these babies were born safely with great outcomes ❤️

Birth always keeps things interesting!

Did you give birth with Earthside Midwifery?? 🌊
Considered dropping us a 5 ⭐ review.

10/08/2026

We had a very busy week here at Earthside! ❤️

Two babies decided to arrive just three days apart, keeping us on our toes and our coffee flowing. ☕️

Our first little one decided he wanted to meet his parents on the early side.

This mama labored beautifully with the support of her husband and her mother. She had to dig deep through those final pushes to meet her beautiful boy. The mama changed positions until she found the one that made her feel the most powerful, and she brought her baby boy earthside via a beautiful water birth, right into Dad’s waiting hands.

Our second baby of the week was in a hurry to meet her parents, too!

This mama was supported by her husband and the Earthside team every step of the way. This couple kept us entertained with jokes and laughter, even through those final pushes. This chunky little one finally arrived through a beautiful water birth, with Mama catching her own baby girl. ❤️

After birth, the Earthside team was kept busy, with all hands on deck as we managed a few complications and worked together to provide a calm and safe postpartum.

What a fun family to support and care for!

Two beautiful births. Two beautiful babies. Each with their own unique story.

The Earthside team had a full week and even fuller hearts. ❤️❤️❤️

Welcome earthside, little ones! 🌎

A special thanks to my amazing birth assistants, Talia Pasara and Erica Voehl, who helped make these births safe and supportive.
