As a wife of nearly 18 years and mother to six children, I’ve experienced firsthand the beauty of family-centered home births, where my older children were part of the process and my babies were welcomed gently. These moments inspire my mission to provide personalized, respectful care for every family I serve.
My faith as a Christian guides my practice and my belief in holding space for each mother's unique journey. I approach every birth with a servant’s heart, honoring the sacredness of life and the God-given strength of women. My goal is to empower families with informed choices and create an environment of trust and peace throughout their care.

Testimonials...
"Ashley helped us feel at ease, which made the birthing experience much more comfortable. We were so grateful to have her with us during such an important time, but also cannot say enough how helpful she was in the preparation period prior to birth! Our meeting with her after delivery was also so helpful. She was incredibly supportive and encouraging, and helped us to feel validated and heard in regards to our birth and postpartum experience. Thank you Ashley!"
"I loved working with Ashley during my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She was professional yet felt like a good friend, answering all my questions, offering education, and providing referrals. She helped me create a birth plan that reflected my wishes and supported me in advocating for it. Even after our time together, she’s been responsive to my questions. My husband, who was very involved, says he’ll miss her too! We’re already planning to hire her again. Highly recommend her services!"
"Thank you so much for helping us bring N into the world. Your calmness, excitement, wisdom, and sweetness truly made me feel calm and enjoy this miraculous event. This will forever be one of my most favorite and most powerful memories."
"Ashley was my doula during my son’s birth, and I’m so grateful I trusted my gut in choosing her. From our first phone call, she was kind, honest, and made time for me even during her busy evening. Her experience with birth and shared Christian values won my husband and me over. She explained her support clearly, was always available, and was my first call when my water broke. Her calm demeanor, soothing presence, and thoughtful touches, like essential oils and photos, made my birth unforgettable."
"We feel so blessed to have found Ashley as our doula. As a first-time mom in the high-risk category, we needed someone we trusted with extensive experience. When our birth plan changed completely, Ashley's calm presence, positive mindset, and deep understanding of our hopes and the birthing process made a stressful situation manageable. She truly has a gift, and anyone who has her support during pregnancy or birth is incredibly fortunate."
