Owner and operator at Doula Nathalie

Owner and operator at Doula Nathalie Doula Nathalie & Associates (established in 2018) provides a suite of birth and postpartum doula services in the Washington DC metropolitan area and Annapolis.

After a fulfilling career as an ICU nurse and a stint as a medical sales representative, I embarked on a globetrotting adventure with my family. In 2018, I decided to pursue my passion for supporting expecting parents by becoming a certified birth and postpartum Doula through DONA International. My husband and I are proud parents of three children who have now blossomed into young adults. Two of them are studying in The Netherlands, and our youngest is a rising senior in high school.

​I had the privilege of experiencing three distinct birth journeys. The first two took place in a hospital setting, with the first one being induced three weeks early due to medical reasons and the second arriving naturally around the due date. Our third child was born at home, offering a unique perspective on childbirth. Drawing from my nine-year background as an ICU/Cardiac Care nurse, I bring a wealth of knowledge from various medical settings to my role as a Doula. Every day, I am reminded of the immeasurable value of these experiences in guiding expecting parents through their pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Meet Erin Rougeux🤍
Birth & Postpartum Doula | Wife | Boy Mom
Erin’s own birth experiences sparked her deep passion for walking alongside birthing individuals from pregnancy through postpartum.
As a doula, she brings compassionate care, evidence-based information, and a calming presence to every birth and family she supports. Erin is devoted to creating space for her clients to feel empowered, informed, and confident in making decisions that reflect their values and vision for their birth and early parenting journey.

✨ Certified Labor Doula

When she’s not supporting families, Erin adores being a “boy mom” and spending time with her husband and two energetic sons. She loves staying active with Orangetheory workouts, exploring new places, cooking, and diving into health and wellness podcasts or a great new book. 💛
