Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
Due to a genetic condition I have to birth in hospital. I’ve had experience personally delivering unmedicated with an OBGYN and CNMs. I’m super passionate about supporting high risk mommies with limited birthing options.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
I’ve assisted in labor at a birth center, and it was so fun! I would love to help you achieve your dream birth center birth!

Attends home births? Any Home Birth
I tried a home birth with my second live birth, and it ended in a third trimester transfer to hospital-based CNMs, so I have a deep love for home birth midwives and for home birth in general! I would love to support your home birth!

Training Documentation

credential


Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I admin a local moms group for Ellis County to provide opportunities for mamas to network, find community/friends, participate in play dates/meet ups, and seek help for the journey. I also share many local community events and resources. If you are an Ellis County area mama, please ask me about the moms group ?? I am also a loss mom. My first baby girl was stillborn, so I’m passionate about walking with moms who have terminal pregnancy diagnoses, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, and who have experienced loss. I have general experience and resources regarding lactation as a mom who has researched a ton and done it all twice (as well as dried myself up after my stillbirth). I have experience and resources for cloth diapering, baby led weaning, and more. I didn’t mark these as I’m not certified or formally trained in these - just personally experienced. In addition, I offer a library of resources via Google drive, and I have a massive community resource list for all kids of providers and specialists in DFW.

Having my pregnancy and birthing experience with Ashley made me so thankful I chose to get a doula for my first pregnancy. I had a lot of stress and worries throughout my pregnancy and she helped put my mind at ease so many times. Ashley was extremely prompt, calming, caring, and I felt like I was in very good hands with her. She went above and beyond what I could have expected with a doula, including helping give me advice, resources, and checking in regularly with me when I had a scare that I might be going into labor early while out of the state. I found her easy to talk to and there was no awkwardness at any time. She helped advocate for me at the hospital and gave me useful, effective ways to deal with my pain. Whenever she arrived or was on the phone with me I would feel more confident and peaceful. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, hard working, knowledgeable doula!
