OUR FOUNDER

Meet the Heart Behind Beyond Birthing

Born from personal experience and built for your journey, Beyond Birthing was founded in 2024 by Erin Ronder Neves, who has spent more than a decade walking alongside families through some of their most vulnerable and transformative moments. Erin began her work in the birth world as a birth and postpartum doula and has since supported over 350 births across Greater Boston hospitals and home birth settings.

Erin’s own perinatal experience revealed how disconnected and difficult maternal support can be to navigate. Fueled by a deep calling to change maternal mental health care, she created Beyond Birthing as a place where care is not just a service, but a community—welcoming North Shore families to find the village they deserve through integrity, inclusivity, and love.

As a Certified Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, and Spinning Babies® Parent Educator, Erin has developed and teaches many of the prenatal education classes offered at Beyond Birthing. She also leads the center’s prenatal and postpartum support groups and is deeply committed to growing Beyond Birthing into a welcoming, full-service, parent-centered perinatal space that reflects the real needs of growing families.

At the core of Erin’s work is a belief in autonomy, informed choice, and the right to feel fully supported no matter your path to parenthood. Her approach blends evidence-based practices with whole-person compassion, ensuring every individual who walks through Beyond Birthing’s doors feels seen, respected, and empowered.

Outside of her work, Erin shares life with her husband and best friend of 22 years, Adam, and their two daughters, Evelynn and Roselee, who continue to inspire so much of what she does.

A Personal Mission

Professional & Compassionate

HOW IT STARTED

A Friendship & A Dream
Are Born

Dr. Courtney Neill of Foundations Family Chiropractic

Back in 2022, Erin and Courtney knew each other as distant colleagues, so it was a little out of the blue when Erin approached Courtney with the idea for Beyond Birthing. Courtney and her practice, Foundations Family Chiropractic, have been a North Shore staple for over 15 years. Dr. Courtney’s unparalleled skill in working with prenatal bodies, newborns, and infants has made her a standout in her field.

When Erin opened Beyond Birthing, she worked closely with Courtney to intentionally connect the two spaces. Foundations Family Chiropractic’s complementary services help create a cohesive environment where care flows seamlessly from one space to the next. If you visit during New Baby Support Group, you’ll often see moms and babies moving between the two spaces, popping over for an adjustment and making the one-stop shop even more convenient and supportive.

Additionally, what truly sets Beyond Birthing apart is the collaborative community of practitioners that Erin and Courtney have collectively invited into the space, bringing together trusted experts to support families under one roof. Beyond Birthing would not be what it is today without Courtney taking a leap of faith with Erin and creating this beautiful place.
