Ashlyn Reese

About me

My name is Ashlyn Reese with Nurtured Beginnings, I’m a certified Doula, Birth keeper, and Postpartum doula. I currently serve families in Berks County PA and surrounding areas. I have a passion for pregnancy, physiological birth, and postpartum. My goal is to provide women and families with gentle, encouraging, and educational support that helps to build the birthing experience into a cherished family memory. I believe in traditional wisdom and that birth is a rite of passage. I am passionate about helping women awaken that power within themselves and reclaim birth. I believe in mothering the mother. I believe in our bodies divine design and its ability to bring forth life. I believe in women, not the system. I believe women were created to have a village. And I’m here not only as a doula, but as a friend, someone you can feel safe with and count on to be there through all the challenges and joys motherhood can bring.

Service introduction

Birth support: This package includes full emotional and physical support while in labor to ensure that clients are comfortable, advocated for and well-nourished. Support extends to all types of birth, whether in a hospital, birthing center, or at home. Postpartum support: Postpartum support can look different, depending on your families individual needs. From my own personal experience, mothers who are supported and taken care of during this period have more capacity to tune into her baby, heal her body and feel empowered. Some examples of postpartum support: In-home physical and emotional support Holistic newborn care Breastfeeding/bottle-feeding support Emotional support/healing support for mother Light house keeping/Laundry Running Errands Nutrition for Postpartum Period Light meal preparation Sibling Care Overnight Support Holistic sleep tips and guidance
