Ashley was one of the best decisions  we made throughout our entire pregnancy & birth journey!! Not only is she incredible organized and knowledgeable, she has such a warm and comforting presence. She was such a critical part of our birth experience - my husband and I were able to be so present and calm through the process because of Ashley's unwavering support. I would recommend her to any and all of my friends looking for a doula! She is absolute magic and the perfect doula.

I am so glad that we chose Ashley as our doula!! I got to know and met with many of the doulas in the Treasure Valley but Ashley had this energy that stood out to me. She is truly so caring and kind. Having a prenatal meeting with Ashley and my doctor was so wonderful and made me feel so comfortable for the big day that we all were on the same page. Ashley was also amazing with supporting my hubby throughout the pregnancy and birth, making him feel included and informed. When it came to the days leading up to the birth, Ashley was a great resource and sounding board to talk things through! Having her be available at all times was very reassuring to me that I could reach out at any time with any questions or concerns. Ashley was such a calm presence in our birth. To have someone that is so confident and knowledgeable about birth was so valuable to have! I will 100% hire her again for my next pregnancy!!!

Much like life... some things take a while to process. I'm now have a 4 month old and I've found myself reflecting on the very long, semi scary birth process. Of course I have lots of questions in my mind. What ifs and what should have beens, but one thing that is no question whatsoever was Ashley. Over the course of several days she was at my house couching and encouraging us and at then at the birth center the moment we went in. She was up for more than 24 hours straight or more hours giveing me counter pressure every five minutes as pain rushed through my legs and back. The amount of physical work and mental love she dumped into me as I labored was truly invaluable. And even when I had to transition to the hospital we told her to go home and get some rest but she stayed right by my side until my baby was born. I truly was on the fence having a doula and my husband was actually the one who found her and pushed for one. I get teary eyes thinking about what my labor would have looked like without Ashley. You are one amazing human and I am so blessed and honored to have had you by my side during my birth. You truly made all the difference in the world. Your love and support was something I didn't know I needed but I'm so incredibly lucky and grateful to have.

We decided to finally hire a doula for our third birth. While our birth didn't exactly go as we planned, Ashley was there every step of the way as we navigated an unexpected (first) c section. Having both her and my husband with me in triage as I processed the news and figured out what questions to be asking really helped me go into surgery as calmly as possible. 

While Ashley wasn't able to be in the OR with my husband and I, I knew she'd be in our recovery room with us. Having her there with us in recovery was wonderful, since I was able to talk about everything that happened and celebrate the safe arrival of our third baby boy. Ashley has such a peaceful and calming presence. I am forever grateful for meeting Ashley and for having her as part of our birth story and part of our lives as a friend.

Ashley was incredibly supportive throughout my whole birth process. My labor took 3 days and she helped me make it through the pain. She gave space when I needed to just be with my husband. And she helped me progress through encouragement, curb walking, different labor positions, etc. I highly recommend Ashley!

Ashley was a gift from God to us during the most wonderful and sorrowful days of our lives. Our baby girl was stillborn just an hour past her due date. Ashley was intricately woven into our story. She became not just our doula, but our friend, and now more like family. Throughout my pregnancy, she was there to text over every question. I treasure my pregnancy so very much, and Ashley was there during every excited moment. She was an amazing resource - from her beautifully designed birth plans to her labor booklets and postpartum worksheets - and you should ask her about what she brings to births in her doula bag! All of that may seem silly for me to care about now, considering the circumstances surrounding my birth. But I love looking back at my pregnancy, knowing that I experienced unbridled joy while I had my baby with me. Ashley gave me a gorgeous muslin blanket, embroidered with my daughter’s name. It was a keepsake then, but even more so now. She did a maternity shoot with my husband and I and gifted us the priceless treasure of photos of my baby bump. When we found out that we had lost our daughter, Ashley headed to the hospital without hesitation. She was by my side every second of the next 36 hours. When my birth plan flew out the window, she supported whatever decisions we made. Whenever I slept, I always opened my eyes to see Ashley sitting right next to me. As my baby was born, she took photos for us that serve as the only reminders we'll ever have of what our beautiful baby looked like. Before she left, Ashley reminded me to spend time with my baby, making memories. In that time of shock, I’m not sure I would have known to do that if Ashley had not gently led me to do so. Even now, she still surprises me with sweet keepsakes and texts to check in. She has shown immeasurable strength in walking alongside us, even when that strength looks like shedding tears. I never have and never will question that our baby truly is loved by her doula.

When my husband & I first met Ashley, we felt an instant connection with her. Truly an amazing & caring person. She made every step of the way an easy & enjoyable process, very knowledgeable & taught us a lot along the way & let us know all of our options. Especially being first time parents this was incredibly helpful in the early months to feel confident in our birth plan choices. We couldn't have done it without her, she spent hours with us on the day of making sure we had all the support we needing to bring our amazing baby boy into this world how we wanted to. Her kind supportive words were exactly what I needed during labor. I highly recommend Ashley to be your Doula & friend!

My experience with Ashley was absolutely amazing. This was my first pregnancy and I had so many questions and concerns and she was always there no matter what time of day it was. She is the best! Always so supportive and I learned so many great things from her. I don't know what I'd do without her. 10/ 10 recommend!

Ashley is a wonderful, peaceful, confident and educated doula. She will go above and beyond to help you experience a positive birth. Ashley is my back up doula and birth partner and I have seen her in both roles during multiple births. It is an absolute pleasure for me to attend births with Ashley. She loves her clients and it shows. Her photography skills are superb, she is able to capture moments and truly show you the energy in the room, the beauty of birth. She helps mamas create priceless memories and reveals just how beautifu and powerful they are when birthing their babies. I truly cannot say enough good things about Ashley - you will just have to meet her in person and findout for yourself :) Whether you need a doula or a birth photographer - I would trust Ashley with my own journey. She will also gift you a beautiful personalized gift for your baby's Birthday!

Ashley is absolutely amazing! I will definitely be calling and asking to work with her again! She was so kind, gentle, patient, knowledgeable, and personable to work with. She answered all of my questions and had so many additional resources to share. She was there to help me through my labor and delivery and she made our delivery room look so cute with all the little fairy lights and tea light candles. It made the room feel so much more calming. Ashley helped to walk me through breathing through my contractions. And she took some amazing photos of our little man! Working with Ashley as our doula was so much better than I could have imagined. Thank you Ashley!
