What people are saying

“Ashley was a really great addition to my birth team. My birth plan didn’t go as “planned” and took many VERY difficult turns. She was there every step of the way providing a supportive and comforting presence through each tough decision I had to make. She provided support to my partner and I through my whole pregnancy and built a great relationship with us. This provided me a lot of trust during my labor and delivery, especially when making the hard decisions- I would always turn to Ashley and hear her thoughts on the situation at hand. Ashley never responded with coercion or “her opinion” but would always reply with options and feedback, giving me the tools to make the best informed decisions I could for me and my baby. She was always supportive of my desires. She also reassured me through the emotional rollercoaster of my labor and delivery that “two things can be true at once” and this helped me accept the true and deepest surrender of what was out of my control and focus on what was- ultimately doing whatever I needed to do for my son and his health. This was my first pregnancy and child, so I really appreciated Ashley’s support through the prenatal journey, labor & delivery (about 17 hours Ashley was with me), as well as postpartum. Alongside my partner and mom, Ashley showed up by my side with her positive and loving vibes during the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life (and probably will ever do), and this truly meant the world to me. Being a doula can be a heavy role but Ashley is doing that good work- pregnant woman deserve her as their doula and I’ll be forever grateful she was a part of my journey. I love that she’s a part of my story and have a new friend as well! She’ll be a lovely part of so many other people’s journey as well and what an honor!”
