Ashlyn Reese - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Ashlyn

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.
