I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support Ashley provided to our family during the postpartum period. Her expertise and compassionate care made a significant difference in our lives. She was a GODSEND and any family would be lucky to be in her care after birth. Here are a few of the many ways she supported us:

Mama Care: Ashley was instrumental in my recovery and well-being after childbirth. Her knowledge of nutrition was invaluable, as she prepared delicious and nourishing recipes that supported my healing process. She also provided practical advice on managing postpartum pain and emotional support when I needed it. Most importantly, she ensured I had the time to truly rest and recuperate.

Baby Support: Ashley helped us with our new little one, from managing spit ups to teaching us how to safely and comfortably bathe our baby. Ashley's ability to step in and assist with nap times and soothing our baby allowed me precious moments to bond with my older daughter, enjoy a meal, or simply have some much-needed personal time.

Breastfeeding: Even though this was my second time breastfeeding, Ashley helped make the journey smoother. She provided invaluable support with pumping and helped me get on a pumping schedule. She even helped me find a new hands-free breast pump!

Family Support: Ashley extended her care to our entire family, particularly in supporting Naomi, our 3.5 year old. She developed a sweet bond with Naomi and made her feel loved during this period of transition. She also helped us with laundry, home organizing, meal prep and errands, always taking the initiative to figure out what would make our lives easier. Her presence brought a sense of calm and order to our home, allowing us to focus on bonding with our new baby.

Ashley was a beacon of support and knowledge during a transformative time for our family. We are forever grateful for the gift she gave us of a wonderful postpartum period!

Ashley is an amazing postpartum doula! She truly made our lives easier and brought peace to our first few weeks of being parents! I am a first time mom and was nervous about not knowing what I was doing. On top of that, while we were in the hospital having my son, my husband and I found out there was mold in our house and we couldn't go home! It was a very stressful start to being a first time parent and Ashley came in and made our lives calmer and easier right away.

She really took care of me as a first time mom and my baby boy! She was flexible with our changing living situation and really helped us establish a rhythm with newborn life. Ashley helped us navigate a reflux diagnosis and establish the best ways to alleviate symptoms for our little guy. She took time to make sure my husband and I were taken care of, from making snacks to ensure we were eating enough to helping us create a routine to encouraging us to go on a date every few days while she watched our son!

Ashley is kind, caring, and has a wonderful presence. I can’t imagine what we would have done without her!

Ashley has a true heart for serving others. She has a gift for meeting your needs before you even realize them. 

From our initial interview, it was clear that Ashley is called to be a doula. We felt supported by her deep knowledge of baby and parent care, as well as her constant contact with her doula and doctor network to help guide us through specific issues, like our baby’s acid reflux. As first time parents, Ashley was able to teach us how to give baby’s first bath, bottle feeding, pumping tips, and breastmilk storage.

Ashley uses her time proactively. For example, she’ll come in the house, see that the kitchen is a mess and immediately take it upon herself to clean up and prepare some bottles for the baby, and snacks for the parents. If our baby was being breastfed and didn’t need Ashley’s immediate attention, she would find other ways to contribute - doing laundry, preparing lunch, etc. She also strikes a great balance of being friendly and present for conversations, while also giving you space as parents to get some alone time, nap time, or just focus on the baby or whatever else you need to.

Ashley loves babies and babies love her. She has a very calm and grounded demeanor that transcends to the baby. Our son loved falling asleep in her arms. I would definitely recommend Ashley as a doula to any parent!

Ashley was an incredible support system and provided the absolute best postpartum doula care for me my baby and my family! We welcomed our third son in early 2024 and frankly I don't know how we would have handled three little ones during those first weeks without her. She helped me recover from my delivery by tending to my needs and my son's needs. Rather than feeling anxious and completely overwhelmed as I jump right into taking care of a new little life, I for once had someone taking care of me! I got to take some much needed rest as she helped feed and change the baby, get him on a good sleep schedule and give him extra love and care. Not only that but she was so helpful around the house and my other kids loved being around her. She came into our family without imposing, saw how we worked, and enhanced us in everyway imaginable. We only had her for 6 weeks and I wish it was more!!

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience Ashley provided us. There is always uncertainty and a nervousness having someone in your home caring for your little one, those feelings quickly changed to confidence and relief knowing Ashley was at our home. As a second time mom I thought I new what to expect but felt I was hit with a curveball. Ashley showed constant patience and love for not only our little one but for me as well. I didn't know the impact having a doula would make but it was tremendous that we extended services an additional month. Ashley brought a calming effect to me and the baby. I felt relief on the days she came. She is loving trustworthy and compassionate. Do not hesitate inviting her into your home to watch your most important one.

Ashley is an awesome doula with a warm personality and is a skilled, hard working multitasker. She can baby carry, cook chili and DJ at the same time! We loved working with her.

Ashley was an indispensable help to us over the course of the past month. She is so supportive and helpful with everything in our home. She's a baby whisperer that could get our baby down for naps on his fussiest of days and a whirlwind of efficiency so I could get some rest and take a shower while she was here. We are so blessed to have her help.

Ashley's help during our postpartem has been an invaluable asset to our family. My little one was born early at 36 weeks and as first time parents, we had a lot to learn. Not only is Ashley extremely knowledgeable, it's like she has 12 more sets of hands to help us! Cooking? Laundry? Soothing my little girl? All second nature. She helps us achieve our daily goals, whether it's taking a walk as a family or helping me cook again (something I needed to feel like a human again!) and puts our needs at the forefront of every conversation. When my baby had a horrible diaper rash, Ashley was an integral part of helping to create a healing plan and schedule (thank goodness!) We can't be more grateful for her warmth and kindness, and are happy to have her as a part of our household.

Ashley is the ideal Postpartum Doula because she is in it for the best reasons. She is naturally loving, caring and incredibly easy to get along with. She is warm, patient, encouraging, helpful, knowledgeable, thoughtful and fun to be around. She constantly sought feedback and asked how she could be most helpful. I had extreme PPA & PPD and Ashley made me feel capable and cared for. She pitched in wherever helpful and was a constant cheerleader. She lifted me up in a way that I desperately needed. Ashley always went above and beyond for us. My four-year-old always asks about her still, as he got quite attached. She has grown to be much more than a doula for us and I'm so grateful to know and love her.

I could not recommend Ashley enough as your postpartum doula. Postpartum with my first son was extremely difficult due to reflux/colic, feeding struggles, and postpartum depression. Ashley came in with a calming presence and I instantly felt supported and safe. My son immediately took to her without hesitation and they still have that bond to this day. She did everything from helping with breastfeeding, making sure I had enough hydration/nutrition, baby wearing, sleep schedules, cleaning bottles, running laundry...you name it, she was a team player willing to help. Her spirit, attitude, and work ethic never wavered even on the most trying days. Having her with us those first few months was invaluable and a true blessing. If you have the opportunity to welcome Ashley into your home, then take it! Your family will be infinitely blessed!

Couldn't have asked for a better person to watch over our colicky baby. Non stop crying baby for 4 months and she handled all our issues with class and Grace. Very kind and understanding person who gave us the help we needed when we needed it the most. Highly recommended!!
