About Ava

I'm Ava; a very passionate birth and postpartum doula devoted to supporting women who desire a calm, instinctive, and physiological birth experience. My love for birth began early in life when I witnessed my own mother bring two of my younger brothers into the world through 2 peaceful homebirths. Watching the strength, intuition, and beauty of those moments deeply shaped my belief that birth is not something to fear, but something to trust. My philosophy centers on honoring the body's natural design for birth- not the societally pushed or man-created model of birth that often leads women to doubt their own instinct. I believe that birth "works" best when it is protected, undisturbed, and guided by a mother's intuition. When women are supported with evidence-based information, true informed consent, and a peaceful environment, their bodies are capable of incredible things. my approach prioritizes physiologic birth, instinctive movement, and protecting the natural hormone flow that supports labor, bonding, and postpartum recovery. I especially love supporting families who are drawn to physiological birth, low- intervention options, and creating a birth environment that feels peaceful and intentional. Whether you're planning a homebirth or simply hoping for a more natural and supported experience, I am here to walk alongside you with steady support, evidence-based information, and wholehearted encouragement.

5/5 ⭐️ Ava was an amazing doula to have! She is so sweet and compassionate and responsive to both mother’s and father’s needs during labor and delivery! She helped us with learning and getting into different laboring positions, keeping track of minutes, various calming techniques (i.e. aroma therapy, hydrotherapy, etc.), use of different tools (i.e. birthing comb, peanut ball, etc.), and timing our departure for the birthing center just right! She was so encouraging during my labor and delivery and incredibly supportive postpartum too with a gift basket, foot massage, and demonstration of how to wrap a belly binder. I had the best experience with her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Highly recommend!

We invited Ava into our birth space as my doula for my second baby and she was nothing short of amazing! As soon as we met, I knew she was the perfect person to support and encourage me through my labor and delivery. I called her on the way to the birth center and she met me there ready and prepared with all the coping mechanisms I needed to labor. She played soothing music, massaged my back, and gave me the best counter pressure to help with my back labor. She gave me encouraging words when I wanted to give up and checked on me multiple times during postpartum. I want her in every other birth after this! Ava will always have a very special place in my heart, she's the absolute best!

Ava created a comfortable and resourceful environment for me and my birth partner at my prenatal appointments in preparing us for labor both physically & mentally. She was intentional about helping me with my birth plan by making sure the important aspects I wanted were included and fully understanding my reasonings. Unfortunately, my birth took a drastic change that called for a medical emergency. Throughout this scary and life threatening experience for both me and my baby, I felt like I could rely on and trust Ava. She was reassuring me about the medical staff, comforting me, always advocating and asking me what I wanted & needed in each moment, and she was not afraid to ask questions. Which I admired most, Ava was not afraid to ask any and however many questions and advocate for me to the medical team assisting me to make sure she and I fully understood what was going on. She didn’t care what they would think or if she was asking too much, she cared about making sure I was fully knowledgeable on what was going on so I could make a fully informed decision. She was a constant support I could depend on in this constantly changing dire situation. Even after my birth by visiting me at the hospital with food I was craving and during my postpartum visit with her at my house that I enjoyed. I would love to have Ava as my Birth Doula again in the future.

Frequently asked questions

"I'd really like to work with you, but it is out of our budget. Is there any payment plan or financial empathy optional?"

Yes! I actually do all my packages on a personalized payment plan full price or not. My goal is not to run your pockets dry. It truly is to support you any way I can. Please don't let numbers scare you from sending a message. We will work something out!

"When should I hire a doula?"

Truthfully...the earlier the better! I am a procrastinator myself, but when it comes to building your support team in something so intimate and beautiful as birth, it's best to start thinking about your options sooner rather than later.

"Do you support partners too?"

Absolutely. I help partners feel informed, confident, and involved- NOT replaced. I guide them on how to support you physically and emotionally.

"What makes your support different?"

My honest answer is going to sound like it isn't in my favor but really...it is. What I want to tell you is that I am able to support everyone and the same outcome happens but honestly? My support is different because it works for the individual. The individual that may be the white sheep of her family that's telling her she can't. The individual that trusts me with this intimate, sacred experience. Because I hope to be that for the individual. Not just "everyone". For the mama that truly wants to trust her instincts. Her ability. Her hard work. Her uncomfortably beautiful labor. Her dedication to achieving the birth of her dreams.
