I had the pleasure of having Mary as my doula for my fourth baby. This was my first experience trying for a birth without an epidural. I was nervous going in, but Mary was amazing at providing resources and answering all of my questions prior to the birth. During my actual experience, she was incredible at supporting me and helping me navigate changes we had to make along the way. She also really helped in advocating for me when there were disagreements with my doctor on how to proceed forward. She made me feel so comfortable and supported and helped me achieve the birth I wanted. Postpartum, she ensured I had additional resources for breastfeeding, pumping, and even helped come up with activities to keep my older kids occupied while solo parenting. Overall, I would recommend Mary and her services to any mama looking for an amazing experience.

Hi, I'm Lauren! As a mother of three, I've personally experienced the full spectrum of childbirth - from epidurals to breech C-sections to the empowering journey of natural birth. My own experiences ignited a passion within me to support and empower other mothers on their own unique paths to motherhood. I was privileged to use a doula in all three births and having her transformed our birth experience. I felt supported and listened to, my husband truly appreciated how involved he was in the birth as well.

Recent review

Halfway through my 3rd pregnancy I knew I wanted to try out the possibility of having a doula. I did not have one with my first baby and I believe having one would have drastically helped. I found Lauren through a friend and immediately called her, she was everything I needed and more. She was calm, understood my preferences and beliefs and we immediately clicked! She was always a phone call/text away through my whole pregnancy when I had questions or needed advice! When I went into labor my husband had to be with my family so she came to my house to support me through labor, she was magical! Although my birth did not end up how I would have ever imagined, she never left my side. She was there praying with me when they told me I would need a c section, she was there for me through the c section and came to visit postpartum in the hospital and at home. She was absolutely incredible and I would recommend her to anyone!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashli. From the very beginning of my pregnancy, she was incredibly supportive, always answering my calls and texts with patience, kindness, and reassurance. Her knowledge and calm presence helped me feel confident and prepared every step of the way. When it came time to deliver, she was right there at the hospital, guiding me through the process and making sure my needs and wishes were respected. She was also such a wonderful support to my husband, helping him feel involved, calm, and confident throughout the experience. Having her by my side gave me so much peace of mind and strength. I truly believe my birth experience was as positive as it was because of her support. If you’re looking for a doula who is compassionate, dependable, and deeply dedicated to her clients and their families, I highly recommend Ashli. She is an absolute blessing.

Hello, my name is Bashy, and I am a passionate and certified doula dedicated to supporting individuals and families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. My role as a doula is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to each client's unique needs. I am trained in techniques that promote comfort during labor, such as breathing exercises, positioning, and massage, and I strive to create a calm and empowering environment for birthing individuals. Beyond labor support, I offer guidance during the prenatal phase, helping families prepare for the birthing experience and navigate any concerns. In the postpartum period, I assist with recovery, breastfeeding, and adjusting to life with a newborn. What inspires me most about being a doula is the privilege of witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing individuals while contributing to their positive birth experiences. I am committed to fostering trust, respect, and confidence, empowering families to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.

You can find me sipping coffee in a local shop, my head stuffed in a book, hiking and camping throughout the weekends, running, and talking with everyone and anyone about all things birth. Certified through A Woman Who Serves Doula Services (AWWS), I seek to empower women to see their true potential and beauty during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I have been blessed to walk with so many women throughout the last 3 years! I am passionate about how our bodies are so intentionally designed to reflect what we are capable of. A successful labor doesn’t just start at pregnancy, it starts way before! Let’s chat about what it would look like to support you, I’m all in for you 🙂

I had an amazing experience with Emma! Emma met with me twice prior to birth, once just to get to know each other and then one prenatal appt to go over my birth plan, meet my husband & give us some good tools for my husband to have to be able to be a supportive partner during birth. I chose to have an all natural labor & birth and emma was amazing the second she got to the hospital with setting up my room to be comforting & helping me while in active labor with counter pressure/ applying essential oils topically per my request & encouraging me. Emma made me feel completely comfortable and helped me advocate for what I wanted in labor. She helped me understand multiple options for keeping labor progressing so I could continue with natural labor as I wanted and not have unnecessary medical intervention. Emma helped me in anyway I asked - in the labor tub/ walking around the hospital with me/ praying with me/ advocating for me and everything in between. Emma was an amazing support mentally, physically & spiritually and I cannot recommend her enough. If you are wanting a doula who is calming, encouraging & makes you feel seen & heard no matter what your birth plan then emma is your gal! I had the exact birth I wanted & a perfect healthy baby girl!
