      <image:caption>What an amazing experience! Ashley is such an amazing woman! To have a woman spiritually and so loving by my side ! She's absolutely so wonderful at what she does. This was my first doing it naturally and at a birthing center. I loved it! I loved everything about it, I'll do it all again, if we decide to go for a 3rd child! I can't even say enough about how amazing the whole thing was. Ashley is such an encouraging woman! she will be ready to help you in anyway that's gonna make your the most comfortable. Her birthing class was very very helpful! I 1000 % recommend her, if you're looking for a natural experience! Thank you for teaching my husband how to be a help during the whole process to! you're so loved! -Meagon Lemons</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There are not enough good things I can say about Ashley. Our experience was better than I could have hoped for. She was professional and yet personal. She was kind and non judgmental of any questions I asked. She encouraged me so well through the whole experience of pregnancy and labor and I’m positive my experience would not have come close to as amazing as it was if she hadn’t been our doula. Not only was she supportive of me but also my husband. She supported and encouraged us both. She prayed with us and for us. She was truly a God send. If you are looking for a doula for your pregnancy and birthing journey, I strongly encourage you to meet with Ashley. She wasn’t just our doula, she’s a friend now too. And we are forever grateful for her. - Lilly Book</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ashley was a key factor in me being able to have the birth I wanted. Fairly late into my pregnancy my husband and I discussed the prospect of me laboring without another woman present, because of the COVID pandemic restrictions on support at the hospital. I was dead set on a natural birth with no pain medicine or intervention. My chiropractor suggested Ashley to me and I reached out. At our first meeting I knew it was a good fit. My husband and I were able to open up and let Ashley know what we were wanting from our birth experience (no medical intervention) and by the end we’re having a good laugh. I went past my due date and despite our best efforts had to be admitted for an induction. Ashley was very reassuring and together with my doctor we had a plan. After the first night in the hospital I had progressed enough that the doctor was happy to let me progress naturally. However, my labor stalled a couple hours later, but I asked my medical team to allow me to wait on any intervention until Ashley arrived, just to see if we could get things going. We jumped into action, Ashley help changed the feel of the room and with the use of oils, movement and massage my labor progressed at an astonishing rate - and my surprise son was born less than 4 hours later. Ashley was able to balance helping me and guiding my husband to help me, it was incredible. One of them had their hand on me the entire time. I felt safe and supported. Ashley is kind, personable and extremely knowledgeable. Very responsive. After meetings, she is prompt to follow up with resources and recommendations. After my experience I felt like I’d met a new friend. Best decision EVER. Highly recommend. -Kathryn Martin (repeat client)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our first baby we were absolutely over the moon with excitement! I knew I wanted to try to have our baby as natural as possible and with both of us being first time parents and completely clueless about everything we decided to get a doula to help us through this amazing chapter of our lives! I spent over a month looking and searching the internet for the perfect doula along with hours of chatting with different doulas and finally met Ashley! I chatted with her back and forth and then decided to schedule an in person interview with her &amp; I thank God everyday that I did! Immediately after leaving the interview my husband and I just knew and had an instinctive feeling that Ashley was the perfect doula for us! She is beyond amazing and has the best and sweetest personality!! She is such a wealth of knowledge and so willing to help and do everything she possibly can for you! We decided to sign up for her 6 week childbirth education class as well as hire her as our doula. Meeting with her for the childbirth classes once a week for 6 weeks prior to the birth of our son let us build an amazing relationship with Ashley on top of all of the wonderful information she shared and taught us! (I would hands down recommend taking the 6 week childbirth education course to every new parent!!) As my due date grew closer Ashley was constantly there for me to answer and guide me with any question and/or concern I had! When I finally went into labor it was unexpected and did not go as I had meticulously planned out in my mind! (Imagine that! LOL) Even though almost nothing went as planned Ashley was there for me every step of the way!! From the time my water broke until we finally got to hold our handsome boy in our arms for the first time! My goal was to have an unmedicated birth and Ashley was my God sent when it came to walking me through and holding my hand during each and every contraction!! Unfortunately I did have to eventually get an epidural, however I would have never made it even remotely close to 8cm unmedicated with out her!! Even after the epidural Ashley helped me into multiple positions to help me keep progressing as we waited for our baby’s arrival! I truly believe Ashley is the only reason I did not end up having to have a c-section! She had absolutely every trick in her bag ready to go and helped me through every stage of labor! If she wouldn’t have kept me moving (prior to the epidural) and in multiple different positions I don’t believe I would have been able to progress and dilate to have a natural birth! Without a doubt in my mind Ashley was put into mine and my husbands lives by God to help us bring our child into this world safely and naturally! I can honestly say I would never want to deliver another child without my husband and Ashley by my side!! For anyone considering hiring a doula, my personal opinion is 100% absolutely do it!! And if you want the BEST doula who absolutely LOVES every part of her job, you want Ashley! -Chelsea King (repeat client)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My doula services include a prenatal visit(s) where we talk about the birth you are wanting, questions, concerns, and any childbirth education classes (add on or comes with God package). I will be on call for you starting at 38 weeks and offer continuous support until delivery. During labor I will offer comfort measures such as massage, tens unit, hip squeezes, and emotional support. I will also help you communicate with your care provider, suggest positions that may increase your comfort and facilitate labor. As a birth doula I do not take the place of your partner in the delivery room, instead I work alongside them to provide the best birth team for you. The process of labor and delivery can actually bring couples closer together and be a shared intimate experience you will never forget. After your baby arrives, I will help with latching (if planning to breastfeed) and bonding. Repeat clients will receive a discounted rate.</image:caption>
