About Ashley
Hi! I’m Ashley - a birth doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator, and placenta encapsulator. I live in Fairfax County VA with my husband and my 3 daughters.
I believe that pregnancy and childbirth is a transformational experience for women, and one that we will carry with us forever. I believe all moms hold power in their birth; but, unfortunately the modern medical birth world can sometimes strip moms of that power. When a mom is educated and supported successfully, she stays empowered during her birth. Whether that experience is an un-medicated water birth, a birth with an epidural, or a cesarean section- research shows us that the most important thing a mom needs to be happy with her birth outcome is the right support and to feel as though the decisions made were HERS.
I am certified through ‘A Woman Who Serves’- a Christian doula training organization. I believe childbirth and motherhood are spiritual and sacred experiences in a woman’s life. It is always an honor to witness a woman come into her motherhood with strength and power from her birth experience.
“Childbirth is an experience in a woman’s life that holds the power to transform her forever. Passing through these powerful gates- in her own way- remembering all the generations of women who walk with her…She is never alone.”
