I seriously would not have been able to do this birth thing without her!! I felt comforted and like I had a supportive friend there for my husband and I throughout my entire labor and even after. When my water broke, she was there with me to labor most of the day at home and spent all night in the hospital with us. Labor and delivery is filled with many highs and lows, and there are so many emotions that take place, but I was so thankful for Ashley during it all. She really added so much joy and value to my labor experience, and cheered me on as I made my final pushes for our sweet baby girl to join us!! It was incredible and I was so grateful. Highly, highly recommend her 10000x!!! I also really appreciated her costs. We were really struggling financially at the time and I really wanted a doula but so many were so expensive, and then I found her and was so thankful despite our struggle, we were able to come up with a plan and make it work! It meant the world to us. 🥲

Hands down the best ‘last’ minute decision I’ve ever made. I reached out to Ashley when I was 37 weeks pregnant, in hopes that she would be a great fit for me and my husband. I soon realized it was meant to be! Our initial meet and greet felt so natural and she listened well. I knew God had placed her in my life for a reason — she was definitely a game changer during my birthing experience. Ashley is passionate about what she does, cares deeply and respects any decision you make. She supported me throughout my birth as if she had known me for years and understood what I liked and disliked. She’ll always hold a special place in my heart as we tell our birth story to others! If you are questioning whether or not to hire a doula, I highly recommend! And I can’t express enough how much I recommend Ashley. You’ll be in great hands from day one.

Ashley provided me with the best service I felt that I could have. I was not given a lot of information about my pregnancy or miscarriage by my OB doctor and was left feeling very confused and out of the know. Ashley answered all the questions I had and more & if she wasn't quite sure in an answer she told me shewould look through her texts books & get back to me asap. She's a great supporter of expecting mamas but also a great supporter of mamas who lost their babies. She came right to my house when I told her I was having contractions and helped me through the process of delivering my unborn child for over 4 hours. Although there was no medical team to work with she did a great job at partnering with my husband and letting him know what to expect and being there for him emotionally as well. It has been a very confusing time for my husband and I but I can honestly say that we both felt blessed through this experience in an odd way and Ashley played a major part in that. Forever grateful to her.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?

A midwife is a medical professional that monitors the health of you and your baby, and they will also most likely catch your little one! A doula is a non-medical professional who offers physical and emotional support. As doulas, we do our best to support you to make your birth as comfortable and empowering as we can. A doula and a midwife make an amazing birth team.

I have a great midwife! Do I need a doula too?

We love the midwifery model of care, and are excited to work alongside midwives in the area. As noted above, your midwife is a medical professional, so your midwife is carefully watching to make sure you and baby are healthy. Your doula on the otherhand is there to support you and your whole family physically and emotionally throughout labor. Midwives also may not be there for you throughout your whole labor, in the hospital or birth center scene, they may have other laboring women they need to attend to as well!

Do you work with doctors?

Absolutely! Most doctors spend very little time with women in labor, so a doula can be especially helpful for labor support!

I’m having a home birth. Do I need a doula?

Doulas can be so helpful at a home birth! Some people believe they do not need a doula at a home birth, because they are counting on the midwife, or midwives assistant, when in reality our roles are really very different. They will be focused on clinical tasks (such as vaginal exams, checking blood pressure, or checking fetal heart tones.), where your doula will be focused on you and your physical and emotional needs. It can especially be helpful to have a doula at a home birth you are a first time mom, having a VBAC, or if you have had a previous traumatic birth.

What if I need a c-section?

There are so many things a doula can do to create a positive, family-centered, and loving experience for your cesarean. We will do our best to help you ask questions, do relaxation exercises, and if allowed, continue caring for you in the OR, and in recovery.
