“I am here to help guide you along the way, reminding you to trust your inner voice & birth with confidence”
As your Doula, my goal is to provide nurturing, continuous & unbiased support while you settle into your new season of life. Birth & motherhood is a beautiful, sacred transformation and it is an honour to be invited to support families during such a special time.
My wish for you is to feel joy, connection & empowerment during your birth. I am here to help guide you along the way, reminding you to trust your inner voice & birth with confidence. I am also there to hold space for your partner, so they are also able to be more present, engaged & rested during the birth of your little one. I support all births (i.e. hospital births, home births, cesarean births, physiologic births, and medicated/epidural births) and work alongside doctors and midwives.
When I am not at a birth, I’m probably snuggled up watching a movie, trying to find balance on my paddle board, or hiking with my dog. In my other job (the hardest one of them all), they call me the skinned knee kisser, story reader, promise keeper, lost stuff finder…Well, they call me mommy but there are a lot of hats under that umbrella. Now more than ever, I live and breathe the importance of “It takes a village.”
We’re friends now, so call me Ash.
My philosophy.
“We have a secret in our culture and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong.”
Your birth is going to be unique, just like the swirls of your thumbs and you deserve to be respected along this story of yours and empowered to listen to your body. There is no right or wrong way to birth – nor is there one way to birth.
