Ash is just the best! As first time parents her prenatal sessions were so helpful for my partner and I. For a few reasons our plan for natural birth shifted to a 37.5 week induction and luckily we had some time to prepare for that with Ash. At the end of the day my birth looked very different than I imagined, but having Ashley along the way made my experience that much better. Having someone on your team with many birth experiences was so nice going into a potentially scary experience.
So so thankful for Ashley and for her being a part of our baby boy’s story!

We worked with Ash for the birth of our first baby. She is an absolute gem! She met with us several times to answer questions and educate us on what to expect throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. When I had questions during pregnancy about what I was experiencing, she was just a quick text away. When I was unexpectedly induced due to preeclampsia, she guided me and my husband through decisions at the hospital until it was time for her to arrive during active labor. Finally, she checked on me often postpartum (she still does!!) and has been a true guide through this new season of life. I’m so glad we’ve had Ash throughout the journey!

My husband and I were to grateful to have Ash as part of our pregnancy and birth journey. Ash has so much knowledge to share about labor and birth, and the prenatal sessions helped us better understand coping strategies and our priorities for birth. She was available for check-ins and questions as needed by text. During labor, she helped us feel calm, confident, and informed when making decisions. It was also a bonus to get a visit postpartum to process our birth experience and to get help with breastfeeding and other questions. We would 100% work with Ash again if we had another baby

As a first time parent, I am so thankful my husband and I had Ashley to help us navigate my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. The education we received in our prenatal sessions made me more familiar of what to expect in reference to the various possibilities for the birth experience, which significantly reduced my anxiety at the time of my son’s birth because I had some understanding of what was happening every step of the way! During my son’s birth, Ashley was very grounding the entire time, and after my son’s arrival she took photos of us that I will cherish forever! Postpartum, Ashley checked in with us frequently and has made a point to let us know she will always be a support for us! I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for compassionate, well resourced, experienced doula!!
Through our the whole pregnancy and birth process, we didn't know what we knew or didn't know. In a world of so many things to learn, check off, and prepare for birth and the life transformation that follows, it was really easy to feel overwhelmed. That was until we partnered with Ash and her abundant treasure trove of tips, research, and passionate care. She made a huge difference in the birth process and all the steps leading up and following. She is on point, loves what she does, and blends her wonderful personality as an advocate and friend. It would be hard to imagine the whole process without a talented and well coordinate Doula such as herself. If you are looking to build more support or even educate and learn more about the delivery process and with pre and post care, she's more than capable and comes highly recommended by my family! She's the best!

My husband and I decided to enlist the services of a doula when we found out I was pregnant so that we could both have a positive birth experience, and we are so happy that we found Ashley. The information and support she provided during my pregnancy was so valuable. When I had to make an important decision about my care provider mid-pregnancy, she helped me to feel confident in what I chose to do. And, during labor and delivery, I was so glad that she was in the room with us. She again helped me to feel confident in my decisions during the birthing process. In the end, I was very satisfied with my birthing experience. I also know that if things had been more complicated or gone differently, her support would have helped me through that as well. Ashley is kind, knowledgable, inclusive, assertive on behalf of her clients, and validating. She also provides great counter pressure during contractions! We highly recommend her.

Ash was amazing! I felt like this was maybe a boujee investment, but I couldn't have been more wrong! She was attentive and knowledgeable. She provided lots of resources and asked questions about things I hadn't even considered. She made me feel empowered and helped me to truly have the birth experience I had envisioned. I can't recommend her enough and I urge any client to sign up for post-partum services as well. Her oatmeal is sooooo yummy!
She truly bonded with me and my entire family and I'm so grateful for her!

I wish I had Ashley for all my previous deliveries. She is so well informed and kept me calm throughout my pregnancy and during labor and delivery. I felt safe and empowered by her presence.

Ash was super friendly when I first met her we had a great chat online before deciding to work together . The first week we talked through birth which was really crucial for me , she went through tasty recipes that she went on to make and couldn’t help me enough physically as I had an unplanned section. She is very knowledgeable about postpartum recovery and empowers you to rest & heal, to connect with baby and will do anything you ask ! She really was so helpful in our journey as first time parents and has become our friend too.

I loved working with Ash throughout my pregnancy! It was so helpful to have someone also naturally minded to answer all my questions and give me the research to back it up. During my birth, my husband and I were so happy to have her with us!

As a doula myself, I wasn’t sure if I needed one for my own birthing experience. However, my husband and I decided to interview several and see how we felt about them. As soon as we met with Ashley, I knew she was the doula for me and I’m SO glad we chose her to help guide me with my VBAC. Shortly after hiring Ashley, my pregnancy got a little complicated and several doctors in my practice were making a possible VBAC very difficult. Ashley helped me advocate for myself and soothe my nerves when having to go head to head with some of my doctors. She helped prepare us for labor and delivery with kind and loving guidance.
Going into my labor & delivery, I felt quite anxious after having a somewhat traumatic first birthing experience. Ashley soothed me during labor and helped calm my nerves; allowing me to be very open with my feelings without judgement. When presented with medical interventions during labor, Ashley helped advocate for me and make sure that I had time to consider my options and choose what was best for me. During the 3.5 hours I spent pushing, Ashley stayed by my side and encouraged me to not give up. Her belief in me kept me going when I was struggling to believe in my own ability to birth my baby vaginally. Without her on my team, I’m not sure I would have stayed the course of a vaginal birth, but because of her encouragement and advocacy, I had a successful VBAC (to a very large baby). My husband and I are so grateful to have had her with us as she was a huge support to us BOTH. If we ever have another child, we will certainly be asking Ashley to join us back in the delivery room.

Ash was such a great support as a postpartum doula. She is a great listener and provides great advice. As a new mom with family far away, it was great to have someone to talk about new parenting feelings and questions. She is great at communicating and working with your needs. I wish I knew about her before I gave birth, but I am glad I found her for much needed postpartum support!

Ash was amazing! She is so supportive and kind and responsive, I always felt like I was in good hands with her. She read the room with me very well - sometimes I needed her to reassure me with facts and information, sometimes I needed her to just joke with me. Somehow she always knew what I needed and responded accordingly. And she's dang good at it - she was my fertility doula and I got pregnant, you just can't argue with results like that! I would happily work with her again and again!

Ash was amazing to have! This is my first baby, and Ash came with so much knowledge and answered all my questions thoroughly! I always felt comfortable having her in our home and felt a weight lifted off my shoulders when she came. I was able to rest, shower, eat and do whatever I needed to do while she took care of baby and me, thank you so much Ash!!!
