Testimonial for Ashleigh Pomponio CD(DONA)
As a first-time mom and registered nurse, I thought I was prepared for labor and postpartum—after all, I had a medical background. But nothing could have prepared me for the overwhelming emotions and the intensity of childbirth and the postpartum period. I was anxious, unsure, and honestly, a little scared.
When I began searching for doulas, I originally hoped to find someone focused on postpartum support. Instead, I found Ashleigh—and I'm so glad I did. After our first conversation, I felt an immediate sense of comfort. Ashleigh has an incredible balance of vibrant energy and calming presence. Her approach was grounding, reassuring, and exactly what I needed.
Throughout my pregnancy and labor, Ashleigh was able to read the room and meet me where I was emotionally and physically. Whether she was offering gentle encouragement, answering questions with clarity, or helping navigate decisions about my birth plan, she made everything feel manageable.
As a nurse, I tend to overanalyze, but Ashleigh helped me trust my body and the process without feeling overwhelmed. Her presence was a steady anchor in the hardest moments, and her uplifting energy gave me the strength to keep going when I needed it most.
What also meant so much to me was the way she supported my partner. She guided him in being present and helpful, creating a supportive space where I felt truly cared for by both of them.
Ashleigh’s deep knowledge of birth—both the emotional and physical sides—was invaluable, especially for a first-time mom. Because of her, I had the birth experience I had hoped for: one where I felt strong, supported, and empowered.
If you’re looking for a birth doula who is both calming and energetic, compassionate and confident—I wholeheartedly recommend Ashleigh.
