Testimonial for Maria Silver Pyanov CD, CPD, CCE
Hiring a doula for the birth of our fourth baby — especially after experiencing a 16-week loss due to complications from Trisomy 21 — was one of the best decisions we could have made.
This pregnancy came with a lot more emotion, anxiety, and vulnerability than our others, and Ashley and Silver understood that from day one. They didn’t just support me physically — they held space for everything that came with pregnancy after loss. I never felt silly, dramatic, or dismissed when I needed reassurance. They met every fear and every question with compassion, patience, and steady calm.
Their knowledge is incredible, but what truly sets them apart is their presence. Ashley has this grounding, peaceful energy that made me feel safe in moments that otherwise could have felt overwhelming. She knew exactly when to step in with comfort measures, when to offer encouragement, and when to simply be a quiet, reassuring presence. It felt like she was protecting my birth space.
Because of Ashley, this birth felt healing in a way I didn’t know was possible. After loss, you carry so much into the next experience — and she helped turn what could have been filled with fear into something empowering, supported, and even peaceful.
We are forever grateful for their care, their heart, and the way they walk alongside families during such sacred, emotional moments. I recommend both Silver and Ashley without hesitation — especially to any parent navigating pregnancy after loss.
