About me

Hey there, I’m Ava! I have been a birth + postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and 200hr certified yoga teacher for over 5 years. My work centers around providing evidence based, unbiased support. I won’t lie, it’s a pretty sweet gig – I have the privilege of seeing families form & parents rock their new roles is the everyday. My passion for pregnancy and postpartum also extends beyond my work as a doula. I am fortunate to work with several organizations striving to improve the maternal mortality rate in Arkansas; as well as serving on the Arkansas Reproductive Health Advisory Board. When I’m not doing birth-y things, you might find me chasing down my kiddos, drinking coffee (see: kids), or snuggled up with a blanket & book.

Service introduction

Hi there! I’m Ava Ellis, a doula and childbirth educator based out of Northwest Arkansas. Though initially trained through DONA, I am currently adding a certification in birth & postpartum support through Madriella as well. My passion for birth work stems out of an early fascination with all things pregnancy and birth. I believe every birthing person has a right to unbiased, continuous support through the childbearing year and beyond. Outside of birth work, you can usually find me dancing in my kitchen to Johnnyswim while baking chocolate chip cookies. A few of my favorite things are kind people, great books, and the pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee.
