At the start of my pregnancy i began my hunt for a doula, when talking to women in the NH area, i really wanted to find someone who i could relate to, someone who shared my values and beliefs, and someone who i could truly talk to as a friend, not just someone i hired to help me. Ashley gave me just that through this process. Through this troubling time of covid-19, ashley was able to offer me sound advice, and gave great tips to making it through. Having her on my team to help guide us through the process was such a blessing, before labor, during labor, and after! During labor ashley was as hands on as she needed to be, and read each situation well as labor progressed. She was comforting, helpful, and supportive to both myself and my partner. Ashely urged me to use an exercise ball through contractions, and gave me a massage while on the ball that was a total god send in the moment. She was also consistently helping me to sway through each contraction, reminding me of the work that my body was doing and how the swaying would help! She consistently offered me water, and helped me get through the moments immediately following birth. Natural birth with out drugs was quite the experience, and i am so happy that ashley got to be a part of this with us!
