About me

Dr. Ervin has been a full-scope certified nurse-midwife since January 2014. She enjoys working side by side with her fellow nurse-midwives and physician colleagues to provide evidence-based, patient-centered care.  Her midwifery passions include physiologic birth, true informed decision-making, and supporting women as they become mothers.

Dr Ervin graduated from the University of Virginia School of Nursing and joined the U.S. Navy after graduation. She was a labor and delivery nurse for ten years prior to becoming a nurse-midwife. She received her midwifery education at Frontier Nursing University in Hyden, Kentucky.  Dr Ervin was chosen as a Jonas Foundation Scholar to complete a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at Frontier Nursing University. Her  project was a strategic plan for the development of social support groups for military women experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Dr. Ervin also teaches part-time in a master's degree program training student nurse-midwives. 

When she is not seeing patients for birth, pregnancy, or gynecologic health, Dr Ervin enjoys running, yoga, gardening, reading, and attending her four children's sporting and theater events.

    Lauren was very kind and knowledgable so I appreciate having her expertise during my appointment. I would schedule with her In the future If she was available. I do wish that I was asked whether it was okay to record our conversations during the appointment. I did notice at some point and I should have asked myself. I do understand that the recording Is probably Office procedure not Lauren's personal decision and Is the normal thing to do during an appointment. So I am not criticizing her because she Is a wonderful provider!
