My name is Erin Kershaw, and I am a dedicated homebirth midwife serving Bucks County. Originally from Bethlehem, I hold a bachelor's degree in biology and political science from Moravian College. I began my midwifery journey in the spring of 2012, graduating from the WomanCraft Midwifery Program in January 2014. Since then, I've trained under four experienced midwives, accumulating over 60 years of collective experience. I opened my midwifery practice in 2016 and have had the privilege of attending over 500 births.

My passion for midwifery was solidified after my first home birth in August 2012, an amazing experience that confirmed my calling. As a mother of three, I understand the profound impact a positive birth experience can have on a family. I am particularly passionate about supporting vaginal breech births and am one of the few midwives in the area who regularly attends these types of births.

In addition to my midwifery practice, I am a registered nurse and have a strong commitment to volunteer work. I frequently volunteer at birth centers in low-resource settings, driven by my desire to support and empower birthing families everywhere.

Camille Barnes, affectionately known as the “Baby Whisperer”, is a certified doula and breastfeeding counselor who has been working with prenatal and postpartum families professionally for close to ten years. As a former preschool teacher, daycare worker and elementary emotional support counselor, she has supported a large number of families over the tri-state area from infancy through high school. Locally, she has supported countless families as a certified childbirth educator and doula. 

Camille is passionate about providing evidence-based support and education that ensure people from every socioeconomic and diverse backgrounds have everything they need to make informed decisions about the care provided for them. Her dream is that every birthing person would feel supported during their parenting journey despite their ethnic or socioeconomic background. Camille does her part to make this a reality for as many people as possible by supporting parents, educating families, and participating in community events, and volunteering in her community.

Camille uses her decades of experience as a mother, “neighborhood mom” and a professional to offer a unique support to families on every part of their parenting journey.  Her heart is in making sure that everyone has access to information to make fully informed decisions as an active participant in their perinatal and birth care and after the baby arrives. Through Birth Academy, she hopes to ensure that access to evidence-based information to make those important decisions about their birth and early parenthood is available to everyone who needs it.
