Testimonial for Saltwater Doulas
Ashley made my prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience so much smoother and calmer than I ever could have expected! I cannot recommend her enough! She met with me during the pregnancy and educated me on what to expect, how to make for a more peaceful and less painful birth, and all of my options in the hospital so I felt incredibly prepared. She went the extra mile, showing me massages to do to help baby get into the correct position, helped me through a scary near-induction experience at the very end of my pregnancy, and checked up on me regularly to make sure I was doing ok.
I gave birth at Exeter hospital and Ashley provided invaluable help through contractions, helping me make the most of them and breathe and position myself to calm down and be able to overcome them. I made it through without the need of an epidural, entirely because Ashley and my support person gave me the best environment possible- in the tub, with a soothing light touch massage, aromatherapy, tea lights, and music, it was incredible how big a difference this made! I felt safe and calm and was able to come back down after every contraction. Ashley made my birth experience feel so powerful!
Ashley also checked up on me postpartum, creating this amazing basket with goodies and helpful information, it was so wonderful having her check in on us and once again, give us even more info that helped us in those first weeks! Overall, Ashley truly cares about her clients and is an incredible help before/during/after birth!
