We were fortunate enough to have Ashleigh as our doula for the birth of our first, Quinn, in April, and she supported us before, during, and after the birth going above and beyond! From the first meeting, Ashleigh's calm demeanor was infectious, and helped me feel much more optimistic about having the birth I wanted. She was so prepared and walked us through every possibility during labor, and made me aware of options I had throughout the process. Working with Ashleigh allowed me to feel empowered going into my birth, and advocate for what I wanted and didn't want. She helped my husband Chris feel ready to support me which is something we hadn't had a plan for before. Having Ashleigh on call before labor was invaluable - she answered any and all questions I had quickly, and checked in on me frequently and made sure I was feeling good and doing all I could to prep for an easy labor. During labor, Ashleigh was calm and talked to me to keep me happy and ready for the pushing. It was like having your most supportive friend in the delivery room! She helped Quinn latch right after delivery, and made sure the Golden Hour was preserved with me and my husband so that we had the bond right after birth that we wanted. I was SO happy with my care team during delivery (I had an almost 10 pound baby after only 10 hours of labor so that was not an easy feat), and Ashleigh was a huge part of that, making sure they all worked together for me! After birth, Ashleigh checked in on us so much and made it clear she really cares about us and Quinn, and loves her role as a doula. We had a wonderful experience with Ashleigh as our doula, but even better, we're leaving this experience with a great friend!
