Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Utica, NY

Ashley is a loving wife & mom of six (6) littles, including a pair of twins. Ashley is a Birth Doula, Lactation Counselor, Fertility Counselor and Perinatal Loss Advocate. I became a birth worker after experiencing 2 hard-fought laboring experiences and feeling like my options during labor were limited to what was hospital routine and whatever was financially incentavizing for my medical providers. I decided that no mom should feel like her birth doesn't belong to her; like she cannot have full bodily autonomy in her most vulnerable hours. Every mother should have the liberty to explore all of her options, including alternative coping methods and relying on her own intuition to bring forth a healthy baby. I accept Medicaid, Fidelis, Excellus, MVP and Molina Health Insurances.

My mission is to inspire mothers to understand normal newborn behaviors, connect with their children through feedings and watching them blossom into confident parents. I’m so glad I found this career path for myself. Marc Antony says “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life”. I’m fortunate to say I found just that in the work I do. The experience of bringing home a new baby is still very fresh in my mind. I remember the mixture of emotions like love, joy, excitement mixed with anxiety, worry and exhaustion. Breastfeeding was so precious but also so challenging. I wouldn’t be where I am today without this experiences. I have become passionate about helping others find their confidence, provide them with tools and knowledge to reach their goals and understand their baby’s language.

Hi! I’m Jill, owner of Birth Blessings Doula Services, LLC. My interest in becoming a doula started with my first pregnancy and birth journey. I was 29 years old when I became pregnant with my first child, and I quickly realized how much I LOVED everything relating to pregnancy and childbirth. My birth didn’t go as “planned” and my first baby was born via cesarean. As amazing and supportive as my husband was, looking back I realized how helpful it would have been, for both of us, to have non-hospital staff to guide us through our labor and delivery. Someone that would answer questions, help us know our choices in a non-biased manner, remind us of our plan when we needed reminding, and to offer emotional support when our plan took a detour. I knew that someday I wanted to work with pregnant women and families to help in that way. Fast-forward 16 years, four VBACs, and one miscarriage and here I am: fulfilling the calling the Lord placed on my life by becoming a certified doula supporting other mamas! Being a doula isn’t just my job, but my passion! I enjoy learning about all things pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. I am always on the lookout for new training and certifications to expand my knowledge and allow me to better help my clients. It is an honor to work with families in the most miraculous times in their lives. As a birth doula, my goal is to help you feel supported (physically, emotionally, and educationally) and empowered so you can make the best decisions for you and your baby. Having five children, I know firsthand the ups and downs of the postpartum period. As a postpartum doula, I will be there to “lighten your load” while your household adjusts to the wonderful addition of having a new baby. I truly enjoy providing warm, professional support for pregnant women and their families.
