Testimonial for Ashley Meissner
Ashley was absolutely essential in helping us navigate the challenges of pregnancy and birth. When I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia at my 37-week appointment, Ashley’s reassurance that the birth experience I envisioned was still possible was such a comfort. Her experience with this diagnosis was obvious as she knew exactly what my options were, which was confirmed by the doctors. That was a testament to her ample experience as a doula.
Despite needing to be induced and having my birth plan altered, Ashley helped me stay focused on my goal of an unmedicated birth. Her candid, resourceful guidance was invaluable, often providing more clarity than the nurses during the birth itself. Thanks to Ashley's thorough prenatal sessions, my husband and I felt confident in the decisions we made during the induction, as we were well-educated on the medical options available to us and the pros and cons of each. We felt empowered to ask many questions of the staff and doctors, and demand time to make decisions. Her education is what allowed me to feel empowered during my birth.
Her support made all the difference, ensuring I had the perfect birth experience—one I truly believe wouldn't have been possible without her expertise and care. If we have another baby, there's no doubt I would hire Ashley again.
