Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Childbirth Education Services

As a doula and mama, I know that pregnancy can be a beautiful, transformative experience. It can also be a challenging journey full of unknowns and unexpected twists and turns. That's why I'm here to offer you my support, knowledge, and expertise as you navigate this exciting time in your life.When you hire me as your doula, you'll get much more than just a birth coach. I believe in tailoring my services to meet your unique needs and desires, because every birth is different, and every mama deserves a personalized approach. Here's what you could expect from me as your doula:

  • Personalized Prenatal Care: I provide each of my clients with at least four prenatal meetings where we'll have the chance to get to know each other, discuss your birth preferences, and explore any questions or concerns you may have. I'll also provide you with access to my lending library of books on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, as well as resources for staying healthy and active during your pregnancy.

  • Holistic Support: As a trained yoga teacher, I can offer you yoga and meditation practices to help you stay centered and calm throughout your pregnancy and birth. I can also suggest herbs and supplements to support your overall health and wellness during this time.

  • Expertise and Education: With my experience as a doula, I can provide you with information and education about the birth process, pain management options, and interventions. I'll also work with you to create a birth plan that reflects your preferences and values.

  • Continuous Support: When it's time for your baby to arrive, I'll be there by your side providing continuous emotional and physical support. Whether you choose to birth at home, in a birthing center, or in a hospital, I'll be there to help you feel safe, confident, and empowered throughout the process.

Ultimately, my goal as your doula is to help you have a satisfying birth experience as you define it. I'm here to be your advocate, your guide, and your ally on this journey.

With love and gratitude,

Ashley
