Post a testimonial for Ashleigh Pomponio CD(DONA)

Ashleigh was wonderful to work with. My delivery ended up having complications, and it was truly a gift to have Ashleigh in my corner advocating for me and keeping me sane during a very stressful process. She even had insight that the doctor lacked, intuiting that my baby had nuchal cord and that was part of the reason why he wasn't descending -- this was proven correct when he was delivered. She was caring and kind, and kept in touch long after her job was done. I felt very taken care of by her. If I have another child I would hire her again in a second.

We had the pleasure of working with Ashleigh for the birth of our first child. From the moment we met, her warmth and professionalism were evident. She took the time to understand our preferences and provided invaluable support, both emotionally and physically throughout the process. Ashleigh made a profound difference in the birthing experience. Her expertise in labor techniques and her ability to communicate effectively with the medical team ensured that the birth plan was respected and adapted as needed. Thanks to her, what could have been a stressful experience was transformed into a positive and memorable one. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashleigh to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled doula.

Ashleigh is warm and personable and has a way of putting you at ease while also explaining things so that they make sense and allow you to feel in control.
This was our first child and without family and friends nearby, we really wanted some additional support in the birthing process since you never know how it will go. Even though I have a medical background and feel comfortable in the healthcare setting, having Ashleigh by my side as I labored, to advocate for me with the doctors and nurses proved invaluable. I had a botched epidural and with her help I was able to get the pain relief I needed. My daughter had to be taken to NICU at birth while I hemorrhaged. My husband went with our daughter and Ashleigh stayed by my side in this very scary moment until I recovered. I am super grateful that she was able to support both of us through this induction, labor and post delivery despite having just come from another really long induction. She really went above and beyond for us.
I would not hesitate to recommend Ashleigh's services to anyone. Labor and birth are so intense and things can happen so quickly you really want someone calm who's seen it all and isn't afraid to be pushy to get you what you need when you can't speak up for yourself (because you're busy laboring). We really can't thank Ashleigh enough for all her help.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ashleigh as my doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Ashleigh was incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions and provide research and links on various topics where we wanted more details. Her wealth of information was both calming and enlightening, making us feel well-prepared and supported throughout the process.
During labor, Ashleigh truly went above and beyond. Her presence was a calming influence, and she offered invaluable suggestions for different laboring positions that greatly supported my delivery. Her expertise and support were instrumental in making the experience as smooth as possible.
Even after the delivery, Ashleigh has continued to be a helpful resource, always ready to assist with any questions or concerns that arise. Her dedication and commitment to her clients are truly remarkable.
If you are looking for a doula, I highly recommend Ashleigh to everyone and anyone. She is an exceptional professional who genuinely cares about her clients and their well-being.

Ashleigh was of great help in the delivery of my second child. She was understanding and always willing to help me get the labor and delivery I prayed for. Together we pushed for a natural delivery with no pitocin. I felt secure with her and gave me peace of mind. She took beautiful photographs that I'll cherish forever.
it was my first time having a doula and I found a great support in Ashleigh. I would highly recommend her services.

As first-time parents, my husband and I were given so much advice and knowledge from our loved ones, but none could have prepared or EMPOWERED us the way Ashleigh did before, during and after I gave birth. From day one, Ashleigh made us feel comfortable to ask her any questions, no matter the time. Ashleigh responded quick, answered all of our questions, provided us with additional cited resources, and empowered us to make decisions that were best for us. Our baby girl is now 2 months old, and we still talk about how valuable it was having Ashleigh by our side. Having her by our side the day I gave birth made my husband and I feel so much relief, safety and ease. It made our first birthing experience very special. We HIGHLY recommend Ashleigh for all your doula services!

We were fortunate enough to have Ashleigh as our doula for the birth of our first, Quinn, in April, and she supported us before, during, and after the birth going above and beyond! From the first meeting, Ashleigh's calm demeanor was infectious, and helped me feel much more optimistic about having the birth I wanted. She was so prepared and walked us through every possibility during labor, and made me aware of options I had throughout the process. Working with Ashleigh allowed me to feel empowered going into my birth, and advocate for what I wanted and didn't want. She helped my husband Chris feel ready to support me which is something we hadn't had a plan for before. Having Ashleigh on call before labor was invaluable - she answered any and all questions I had quickly, and checked in on me frequently and made sure I was feeling good and doing all I could to prep for an easy labor. During labor, Ashleigh was calm and talked to me to keep me happy and ready for the pushing. It was like having your most supportive friend in the delivery room! She helped Quinn latch right after delivery, and made sure the Golden Hour was preserved with me and my husband so that we had the bond right after birth that we wanted. I was SO happy with my care team during delivery (I had an almost 10 pound baby after only 10 hours of labor so that was not an easy feat), and Ashleigh was a huge part of that, making sure they all worked together for me! After birth, Ashleigh checked in on us so much and made it clear she really cares about us and Quinn, and loves her role as a doula. We had a wonderful experience with Ashleigh as our doula, but even better, we're leaving this experience with a great friend!
