Where to begin! Ashley is one of a kind and has found a true calling in her career of providing exceptional doula services. My husband and I recently welcomed twin girls and hired Ashley for support overnights at the beginning of their life and some day time support as we went back to work. To say she was an angel, is an understatement. Ashley has a very calm presence, an abundance of knowledge in her specialty, and is there to support you in your growing family, however it looks for you. She becomes an extension of your family and does whatever she can to make life easier for you. From having 0 children to all of a sudden having two, she was there to help navigate all of the unknowns and things felt so much more doable because of the support that Ashley naturally provides. We adore her- and any family would be lucky to have her!

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Ashley! She started with us when my twins were only a few weeks old & completely helped us get in the groove of parenthood with two! Aside from her endless care, support, and love, she is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does! We are forever grateful & would recommend Ashley and her team to anyone in need of doula love & overnight help!

We worked with Ashley for our birth (C-section) as well as postpartum - she has been absolutely wonderful and we would recommend her services to anyone! She has such a kind and calming presence and it was such a relief to have her support during the birth of our daughter. She is incredibly responsive, communicative, punctual, organized, and knowledgeable. She dedicates herself to her work and clients, and we would use her again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Ashley!
