Testimonial for Ashley Catto
Ashley was the photographer and our doula for the birth of our second daughter. We walked into this second pregnancy with a lot of trauma from our first birth experience, and Ashley was a reassuring, confident force as we geared up to have our second child. I greatly appreciate that she made the effort and showed up to soothe the concerns of my husband as well, so that we were a truly confident team. With her on our birth team, we felt certain that we were going to be taken care of, that I would not be abandoned during birth, and that I was built and designed for birth.
The moment Ashley walked in the door, my body felt safe to labor and birth. The techniques that she used during my labor were extremely effective and made my labor more comfortable.
It amazes me that Ashley was such an incredible addition to our experience and she was still able to beautifully document this sacred time. The images she photographed are ones we will cherish the rest of our lives and are invaluable.
I knew that doula support was greatly beneficial to birth, but after our experience with Ashley, I swear by it and could not express her value enough. We are so grateful to have had Ashley as a part of our story and now, as a dear friend of our family.
