Testimonial for Saltwater Doulas
Ashley was the perfect support for us as we went through our second pregnancy and first birth, all during the time of COVID-19. My partner and I were impressed with her blend of professionalism and down-to-earth demeanor from our first phone call straight through to our postpartum visit. She was flexible and always made sure we were comfortable, with COVID this meant having video chat sessions instead of in person, her wearing a mask during our labor, and offering video chat and text or call support while we ended up having to go to the hospital during a pandemic where she was not able to come with us in person due to hospital restrictions. Our sessions before birth were filled with client-centered support, lots of listening and validation, and all the information and resources we could possibly need. During labor at home she was able to be a support for both me and my partner, provided hands-on support, and was our emotional rock. She was there to do anything we needed and when things got intense she was able to just step in and do what we needed without us even knowing how to ask. When it was clear we needed to leave our plan of home birth and go to the hospital she was able to be strong and assure us this was the best plan and quickly helped us pack up, putting things in our bags we never would have thought to take, and doing anything and everything that needed to be done. She was a virtual presence when she couldn’t be with us in person and when we had our postpartum visit she processed with us, gave more resources, and offered extended support. All of this to say that Ashley is excellent at what she does and we would choose her again in a heartbeat!
