I am a licensed Nurse-Midwife in the Fingerlakes region of NY. My private services include prenatal, homebirth (or birth suite birth), postpartum, gyn, well woman, peri-, and menopause care! I am a Christian midwife and mother of 10, passionate about empowering women, and serving them through seasons of life.

I believe in supporting the natural processes of birth. After having my 3 children at home I was drawn to becoming a midwife to make sure that families continue to have access to safe nurturing pregnancy care options. I believe that the birthing person and their family should be centered in perinatal care. I support that through education and shared decision making made possible by appointments that are up to an hour long. This not only allows us to get to know on another, it also makes space for your questions and needs along this journey.

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.

Being a doula isn’t a job, it’s a privilege! I am honored to be able to assist families in some of the most transformative times in their lives. My approach when working with women and their families is to offer education and encouragement, which in turn helps them to feel confident as they approach and experience their baby’s birth. I provide evidence-based information and listen to what matters to my clients, and then we work together toward achieving their goals. Throughout pregnancy and especially during labor, I provide consistent, calm reassurance and guidance. I began my doula career in 2012 through DONA International and I am a Birth Beautifully Certified Birth Doula, Birth Beautifully Certified Childbirth Educator, and Birth Beautifully Birth Doula Trainer. I am also a Certified VBAC Doula through the VBAC Link, and I am a Certified Postpartum Doula through the Midwifery Institute. With a wide variety of doula experience — including medicated and unmedicated labors, spontaneous and induced labors, hospital birth and homebirth — my knowledge and understanding is put to use to help reduce my clients’ anxiety and increase their confidence. I have a special place in my heart for women suffering with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) during their pregnancies, as I myself have dealt with it five times. I believe the best pregnancies, births, and postpartum experiences happen when women and their families feel supported, and I would be honored to do that for your family.

Hi! I am a mother of 6, a doula, and a lifelong student of the art of caring for women. My own journey through motherhood has taught me that becoming a mother is not simply about having a baby. It is a profound transformation of the body, identity, relationships, emotions, and the way we see ourselves. This is what brought me to doula work. I believe women deserve to be cared for just as deeply as their babies are. I love the quiet, ordinary moments of postpartum life — making nourishing food, helping a tired mother finally rest, holding a baby while she takes a shower, listening without judgment, or simply sitting beside her when words are not needed. I am especially passionate about whole-person postpartum care. When a mother wants it, I incorporate gentle body-based practices such as restorative breathing, movement, self-massage, abdominal and back care, grounding, and relaxation. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I meet each woman where she is and follow her needs, preferences, culture, and boundaries. My background in birth and postpartum care, combined with my experience as a mother and my love of learning, has shaped the way I work: deeply practical, deeply compassionate, and deeply human. I don't come into a home to tell parents how to do things. I come to help them feel held, capable, and less alone, while they find their own way. For me, doula work is not just a profession. It is a way of honoring the enormous work of becoming and being a mother.

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.

Nearly 15 years ago, I was drawn to birth work by a deep passion for supporting and empowering people during some of life’s most significant transitions. It is truly an honor to be invited into people’s lives during such a personal and transformative time. My goal is to provide each person with compassionate, personalized care and practical, evidence-based information, so they feel confident, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and beyond. As a Doula, I offer full-spectrum support, including physical, emotional, and educational guidance. Through both in-person and virtual childbirth education classes, I help individuals understand how to have a healthy pregnancy, navigate labor and delivery, and care for their newborns. I also provide trusted information on topics like breastfeeding, postpartum care, and infant care. In addition, I co-founded Lactation Lounge, a breastfeeding support group that meets bi-weekly in Oneonta, NY. This group offers a supportive space for breastfeeding parents to connect and receive guidance. Through collaboration with local healthcare professionals—including midwives, doulas, and lactation consultants—I aim to address challenges and create positive change for families as they navigate their parenting journey.
