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.

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.

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'm Lindsey! I'm newer to the doula community working towards certification. I made the transition to doula care from being a nurse. I practiced in reproductive health, family medicine, and pediatric care. I have spent the last few years absorbing everything I can get my hands on related to birth and go about my day listening to my favorite podcasts- all of them about birth maybe a few conspiracy shows too. I take a fairly natural approach to my life and my personal health but I understand that that is not an easy or sustainable choice for everyone. I completed my doula training with DONA International, as well as child birth and lactation education. I seize every opportunity I have to attend classes to further my education in all health related fields. In the summer I spend my free time kayaking or gardening and in the colder months I hand stitch quilts! I look forward to getting to know you, your family, and understanding your values surrounding your pregnancy and birth so that I can be a strong asset and advocate for you- I want your birth experience to be everything you may hope, pray, and dream of!
