Testimonial for Ashley Benitez
Everyone I know, who had a postpartum doula reccommended hiring one. Being it was my first pregnancy , I was anxious and uncertain of what to expect. I interviewed a few local doulas and then was reccommended Ashley. We immeditately connected. She was kind and knowledgeable and I appreciated that she asked my husband about how he was feeling as well in regards to the roller coaster of emotions we were feeling before becoming parents. Ashley began working with our little family 3 days after our daughter, Emma, was born in June 2018. Ashley was always punctual, patient, and present. The "3 P's" my husband and I called it! haha No matter how many questions we asked or uncertainites we had, Ashley sat with us and calmly walked us through it all. She also always informed us, but let us choose the right parenting style that was right for us. That is what we really appreciated. She is a big advocate for parents parenting how they see fit and always supported us. Ashley was gentle and sweet with Emma. She was very interactive with her and you can tell she loves being around babies- even when they're crying nonstop! haha
Ashley has a wonderful way of explaining and informing but not pressuring that one way is better than the other. We initially purchased only 72 hours from her, but soon realized we werent ready to let her go when the time the contract ended. Luckily for us Ashley had an additional 2.5 weeks available before her next client so we bought all her time up! lol Though both Shawn and I agreed that she had built of confidence up as parents, we just felt so comfortable with her and wanted to pick her brain more before saying our goodbyes.
Ashley is a wealth of knowledge and easy to be around and talk to. We are truly appreciative of her and what she brought to our family. I would highly reccomend her (whether virtually or in person). She's wonderful!
