Hello Mamas! I am Ashley and I am so glad that you have found my lactation profile. I am a caring and compassionate lactation consultant that was inspired to enter lactation consulting after my first failed attempt to breastfeed my oldest daughter. After diving into breastfeeding education, I successfully breastfed my youngest son for sixteen months with the help of an amazing lactation consultant (see, even lactation consultants need lactation consultants). In 2020, I completed a Doctorate of Public Health degree where my research focused on breastfeeding success. For the past six years, I have been working in higher education, while volunteering for a breastfeeding organization. In September of 2020, I sat for and passed the IBCLC exam. I am also a certified lactation educator and provide prenatal educational classes. I am originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my husband and two children. Being in NYC, I do have some favorite places including the MET and the American Museum of Natural History (because it’s my daughter's favorite).

Hi, I’m April and I am so glad you are here! I am a lactation provider, infant bodyworker, and perinatal supporter with a background in psychology. Above all, I am a Mommy to two wild sons and one sweet daughter. I have dedicated my career to empowering and informing women alike on how to utilize their innate abilities to achieve optimal well-being for themselves and their babies. With a holistic approach, I provide comprehensive support and address concerns and challenges. I promote a positive and nurturing environment through active and empathetic listening. Understanding the importance of personalized care, I tailor my guidance to families’ unique needs, applying evidence-based practices and drawing from my extensive knowledge. I aim to educate and encourage mothers while offering solutions to common problems and ensuring a fulfilling transformation into motherhood. Whether addressing latch issues, correcting torticollis, or recognizing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, I have a genuine desire to help mothers succeed and obtain their goals. My commitment extends beyond our initial interaction, as I strive to build lasting connections with mothers as they confidently grow their families. It is an honor to get to work with the mother/baby DYAD and a privilege to witness each relationship thrive while navigating new norms and creating a beautiful, rewarding story.

My goal is to help parents feel confident, rested, and well-supported during this special time.

Hi everyone! My experience with birth started with my first birth: my son was born peacefully at home in the water. I fell in love with birth right away, and began taking doula classes. My approach to prenatal, labor, and postpartum care is mother and family centered. I’ve also trained in labor massage, Ayurvedic postpartum nutrition, childbirth education, and as a lactation educator and placenta specialist. My goal is to offer support, assurance, and information to my families at every step of their early parenthood journey. My philosophy and education align best with mamas who are pursuing natural birth and holistic support. I have experience with VBACs, HBACs, and free births.

As a Catholic doula and wellness coach, I help Catholic moms achieve holiness through a body, mind, and soul approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I offer prayerful pregnancy planning and coaching through a uniquely faith-based lens, physically support and pray with mamas during labor as a birth doula, and continue to walk with them through postpartum doula services and ongoing wellness coaching rooted in God's design for your body. My Philosophy: - Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are an experience of God and a call to holiness. - A mother's voice should ALWAYS be respected in her pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. - No mother should have to do all of this alone - physical and prayerful support changes everything. - Fitness and wellness for mothers is less about achieving standards and more about maintaining balance so we can better serve our families.

Robin loves all aspects of being a doula and supporting clients through pregnancy and preparing for labor. She has found a niche in prenatal and birth support with the addition of birth photography. It is an incredible honor to share her clients' birth story through photographs and document their first chapter of their child's life on earth. She also enjoy supporting her clients when they are home with their baby for the first night postpartum. Several of her birth clients have hired her to stay overnight during those first days at home to help them get the sleep they need by caring for baby and helping set up the essential supplies to care for their newborn. Since she was a young child, she has always felt the desire to care for others. Robin created Within Motherhood after answering the call to support women on their journey into motherhood.
