Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Lakeland, FL

Hey, I’m Ashle! I’m a childbirth educator, holistic health coach, and birth doula-in-training with a heart for helping women walk into birth feeling calm, confident, and prepared. I believe every family deserves evidence-based education, compassionate support, and the freedom to make informed decisions that feel right for them. I love teaching practical ways to nourish your body, prepare your mind, and build confidence for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I’m a pastors wife, mom to five, Disney lover, and herbal tea enthusiast. I can’t wait to support you on your journey!

As a seasoned doula, birth advocate, and mother of nine children — six boys and a set of triplet girls — I bring a rare blend of clinical knowledge, lived experience, and intuitive understanding to every family I serve. My journey through nine pregnancies, each with its own lessons and challenges, has shaped the way I support mothers today. I know the emotional terrain of pregnancy, the physical demands of labor, and the sacred transformation that happens when a new life enters the world. My work is rooted in the belief that every mother deserves informed, compassionate, and culturally grounded care. Over the years, I have supported families across a wide range of birth experiences, always centering their voices, their choices, and their dignity. My approach blends evidence‑based education with the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking the path myself many times over. A core part of my philosophy is the importance of consistent, proactive prenatal care. I have seen firsthand how early support, education, and monitoring can reduce complications and lower the likelihood of medical inductions — especially those involving Pitocin. While Pitocin is a valuable medical tool when truly necessary, I help families understand how nurturing the body throughout pregnancy can support natural hormonal progression and increase the chances of spontaneous labor. My goal is to empower mothers with knowledge, confidence, and the tools they need to advocate for themselves long before labor begins. Through Royal Empress Doula Services, I serve families with a commitment to excellence, cultural sensitivity, and unwavering support. Whether I am guiding a first‑time mother, supporting a family through a high‑risk pregnancy, or helping a parent heal from a previous birth experience, I show up with the same steady presence that carried me through my own births. My mission is simple: to help families feel seen, supported, and strengthened — from the first prenatal visit to the first moments of life and beyond.
