Testimonial for Ash Woods
Ashley came into our lives in our third trimester when shit was hitting the fan. They have such a presence that was open and at easy to approach. They listened to our concerns, our days, our experiences and asked before offering any suggestions or recommendations. Ahsley comes with a wealth of knowledge. We go to them with any concerns or questions we may have and if they do not have insight on the topic they know who does. They are well connected to the queer community. Ashley is kind & compassionate individual knowing what an individual may need during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. They make delicious soups and muffins that nourish the recovering body. They are a great listener and have the abilty to put aside whatever they be going through personally to be present for their clients. Cedar is familiar with their voice and embraces their touch.
Ashley is full of energy. They are a doer and got whatever it is we needed done, done. They are truly a doula that helps their community and is accessible to all individuals no matter where they are in life. They meet you, hold the space and assist you to get through the light and dark times. We are grateful for Ashley and highly recommend them for postpartum care. Postpartum can be lonely and distressing and having Ashley has enriched our lives. Their jokes and stories entertain and distract us from whatever darkness we are travelling through. Ashley is an excellent communicator and their check in texts show us we are cared for. Ashley thinks outside of the box and holds social justice high in their values. They will also make sure we drink our water, get enough sleep and assist in getting us the nutrients we need.
Thank you Ashley for doing what you do and having the heart that you have. You are part of our village and story. Cedar thanks you with their smiles. The world could definitely use more doulas like yourself. Ones in it for the heart and not the money.
