I was beyond impressed with Ashley's services. She was there for me anytime I needed her during my pregnancy by answering questions, sending me research, stopping everything to call me when I felt overwhelmed after an OB appointment, and even coming over in the middle of the night after being miserable with prodromal labor, and so much more. She went above and beyond in every way. I felt like I had my own personal birth bestie expertise in my back pocket. My labor didn't quite go as planned but she never left my side, she was there to talk to my nurses and advocate for me so my husband and I could enjoy the labor and delivery process without the extra stress. She was there to take over for my husband when he needed a break. And most importantly she was there to translate and keep me updated when my baby came out and had trouble breathing. It was a scary moment but Ashley kept me calm by telling me what was going on the whole time when the nurses couldn't. I truly can't thank her enough. She's forever apart of my family now. She was professional, supportive, personable, and knowledgeable. I really liked how she didn't pretend to know things that she didn't know. If she knew the answer she gave it confidently, and if she didn't she promised to find one and she always did backed with where she found it, often followed with research to back her up even more. I'll definitely be recommending her to every pregnant woman I see!

Ashley was exceptionally responsive when we had questions, needed help, or needed a calming influence before, during, and after the birth.  As a previous pre-term birth mama, she offered help in recognizing and addressing my anxiety that comes with being pregnant again and dealing with the fears that another pre-term birth could occur.  She also was exceptionally kind, considerate, accepting, and encouraging of our preferences, need for advocacy, and support with all things related to the birth experience.  We had multiple in person and virtual meetings, and Ashley was a calm, helpful influence during the labor and delivery process, even when things got a bit stressful and we were worried about our baby, who had to be checked by NICU staff.  Ashley advocated for the staff to share more information than they were sharing to help us understand what was happening.

Ashley was so comforting during my birth experience! She was very knowledgeable about pain relief techniques and the birth process, making things much easier on me as a first time birther. On top of being nuturing, Ashley has a very determined personality which is exactly what my stubborn mind needed to relate to while laboring. 

So thankful for her being there as my daughter was born.
