I have been working with Ashley since May 2024 and she is absolutely fantastic. It’s hard to describe somatic work because each session is a little bit different. That’s because the sessions are based on tuning in and listening to how I’m feeling in my body, something I realized I rarely, if ever, did in the past. I feel like I’m developing a relationship of consent with myself & my body that I never had before. With the guidance of Ashley, I’m able to explore how my body communicates “yes" and “no", which can be emotional but also extremely powerful. She has given me tools I can apply to real world scenarios when I feel anxious or overwhelmed. I highly recommend her services.

Ashley is wonderful to work with. I loved our TRE sessions. She made me feel comfortable right away. The way she facilitated the sessions was so meaningful. I learned about being present with my feelings, connecting with my body, and even getting self consent. So glad to have them as a resource when I need to destress / center / connect with myself. Highly recommended!

Ashley's gentle energy and way of holding space for her clients is truly unique. She is really able to meet you wherever you are without bringing in any biases or "shoulds." This is really freeing and also creates a safe space for deeper parts/emotions to release. She encourages a non-judgmental curiosity that can lead to interesting discoveries you might not arrive at in your own practices. I am someone recovering from rushing and overthinking and Ashley is always great at reminding me to slow down, to pay more attention and get back into the body. I would highly recommend working with Ashley on your [nervous system] regulation journey. She's so wonderful at what she does.

I can't recommend Ashley enough! Working with her was a beautiful experience for both me and my partner. She helped us in so many ways—emotionally, physically, mentally—throughout our pregnancy and birth. Ashley consistently provided nonjudgemental support, information, and resources. Having her as our doula made me feel much calmer and more confident while navigating one of life's biggest transitions.

I had never heard of TRE but was very excited to try it out! Working was Ashley was a very special experience and I'm excited to continue working with them. They guided me through TRE so beautifully, reminding me to take breaks, that what I was feeling was totally normal, that it's safe to be in my body. They made me feel extremely safe and made me laugh and smile, which I think is very important when working with potentially big emotions and trauma release. Ashley is a very grounding and supportive presence and TRE is super cool. Thank you Ashley!

Ashley is a wonderful listener and brings a calm, grounding presence into every interaction. After having a bad first birth experience without a doula, we were hoping to feel empowered and supported for our second—and we absolutely were. Ashley did an amazing job making this birth joyful and meaningful, while helping us navigate the medical system and supporting us at every turn.

5 out of 5 stars! Ashley is the perfect blend of kind and knowledgable—she wants to meet you where you are. I felt very comfortable asking any questions I had. I really appreciate her intentionality to truly care for her clients.

I reached out to Ashley in the early stages of my partner's and my fertility journey. We were struggling to conceive, but weren't yet able to get fertility treatments. Ashley helped me manage my anxieties about the fertility journey and helped me learn so much about my body. She provided thoughtful care, and checked in with me between sessions. I'm grateful that there are doulas like Ashley who can accompany couples trying to get pregnant.

Ashley is very knowledgeable and did a great job informing around the "textbook" part of birth and what to expect. It was helpful to have a session dedicated to what is actually happening in our bodies and not the anecdotal stories about this or that specific birth that we hear from friends, family, and colleagues.

Ashley's incredible and non-judgmental support helped me so much on my abortion journey. This was my first abortion and I was so scared and overwhelmed. I felt from the moment I first contacted Ashley that I could tell her anything. I also received tangible, easy to use and implement resources for nourishing and supporting myself and got to experience compassionate care and space holding from Ashley. My abortion experience would have been so much more challenging had I not had Ashley's compassionate and caring support.

Ashley is truly a full-spectrum doula. I first learned from Ashley about using fertility awareness as contraception. I have never felt so empowered as I did after taking Ashley's cycle courses. Later, I utilized Ashley's consultation services to discuss conception through cycle tracking. We conceived after just one cycle and then Ashley became our birth doula! From contraception, to conception, to the birth of our first child, Ashley has consistently exhibited a non-judgmental, safe, and genuinely compassionate presence. We are forever grateful for her support during this amazing and terrifying journey to parenthood!

Ashley is a wonderful TRE guide. She has a very calming, yet knowledgable approach to the practice and creates a nonjudgmental space for the practice. She really helps her clients feel cared for. During and after the session I felt so relaxed and free to allow my body to move in the ways it needed to.

Pregnancy and postpartum both come with a lot of decision making which felt overwhelming until we had Ashley on our team to help us wade through emotions and information. I felt confident asking for what I wanted during my prenatal care, birth, and postpartum from medical providers, family, and my partner. We felt comfortable reaching out and Ashley made sure to check in with us throughout and after our pregnancy so we felt supported and surrounded!

Having Ashley as our doula made all the difference for my husband and me throughout the crazy ups, downs, twists, and turns of our pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She is an excellent communicator and advocate and really wants to help you achieve a birth experience that leaves you feeling completely empowered and supported, whatever that ends up looking like. I can't recommend her enough!

I wasn’t sure that I needed a doula—I had a provider I trust deeply and a supportive partner. Laboring didn’t feel intuitive to me and I didn’t want to do the things I knew would be good for me. Ashley’s calm suggestions created the environment where all of that didn’t matter, and I could just focus on me and the baby. My partner also greatly benefited from Ashley’s guidance: he felt like he could be an active participant in labor by being shown how to provide counter-pressure, for example. I’ll never forget the moment my waters broke, hanging from my partner with my arms around his neck, and Ashley providing counter-pressure. I felt so incredibly supported. On the next contraction, I felt my baby kick her way into the world, and she was born.

Working with Ashley enabled my partner and I to feel confident in all of our decisions throughout pregnancy, she reassured me that I was doing the right things for myself and my baby when stressors or unexpected circumstances came up. Given how fearful I was of having my first baby, it's amazing to me that she helped us make this birth a transformative experience, rather than a traumatic one. She really helped me to see that I could do this and that my body, my baby, and I were all working together with the support of my partner, loved ones, and Ashley to bring our baby into this world.

Ashley is a wonderful person and an incredible doula. She was more than willing to answer my questions and listen to any feelings I had during pregnancy—day or night! She was a great advocate for my birth preferences at the hospital and took a great deal of stress off of my partner, which allowed him to better support me. I was very comforted by her presence and she helped me feel as prepared as one can be for birth. Ashley is a wealth of knowledge and resources and I am so grateful to have had her support during the birth of my first child!

Ashley helped me to have a birthing experience that felt empowering. I was more calm and confident about my decisions throughout labor because of her gentle guidance along the way. She had incredible intuition for what I needed during labor and also helped my partner feel more confident in how to support me. The education before birth and check-ins after delivery also helped us to feel supported in this big life transition.

I had a surprise induction after developing high blood pressure at a weekly appointment. We were so not prepared and Ashley came to sit with me at the hospital at 1:00 AM while my husband ran home. She even gave us her own snacks when we realized we hadn’t eaten dinner that day! I was so afraid that getting induced meant losing the unmedicated vaginal birth I had envisioned, but Ashley helped us see all of our options at every point. At the birth, she was a quiet, strong support. She allowed my husband to be my support person, while also letting me know she was there. She would float in and out of my awareness at exactly the right moments. She helped my husband take care of himself and made us both feel safe. My birth might not have started the way I thought it would, but it turned out just as I hoped!

Hiring Ashley was one of the best pre-natal decisions we made. Not only did she patiently and warmly answer all the questions at our visits, but she also provided extra resources and checked in often on our general well-being as the date approached. She helped us develop a birth plan with many contingencies (for the anxious parts of our brains) while prepping us for the uncertainty and the need to go with what feels right and empowering in the moment during the birth. We felt prepared and safe.

We loved working with Ashley as our doula! She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind. During our birth, Ashley was calm and reassuring and always one step ahead. Sometimes that meant giving us space to experience a moment or decompress, and at other times she stepped in and offered a welcome snack, or some comforting words or touch. We would highly recommend her to any expecting people!

Ashley is incredibly kind, sweet and supportive! Her class was incredibly informative and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire time working with her. Her handmade zines are super cute and very helpful and informative. Ashley also takes great care to be inclusive and aware, from the zine to actual language in the classes and more. Just overall a wonderful experience that was very well worth it.

This gender-inclusive class left me feeling seen, honored, and empowered to make reproductive and intimacy-related choices that are right for my life. Ashley gave us the basics of fertility awareness, various options on how the practice could look, and connected it to a holistic framework of consent and body autonomy. I honestly couldn't have asked for more from this class!

My husband and I were so grateful for Ashley's support. She helped ask questions and guide decisions prenatally that lead me to feel ideally supported when it was time to give birth. Her education and resources made my partner and I feel better prepared for labor and delivery and the postpartum time, even though this was our third child. During labor and delivery, her support helped me believe in my ability to listen to my body, and she also helped my husband as he supported me. She is observant, kind and gifted in her role. I think every pregnant person should have a doula, and would recommend Ashley!

We truly cannot recommend Ashley enough. Ashley is a kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable doula. She was present for the birth of both of our sons and helped us feel empowered to make the best decisions for our family. We feel grateful to have had Ashley's care and support throughout the birthing process.

We had a great birth experience and we couldn't have done it without Ashley. Her support before, during and after birth was so helpful and made us both feel much more at ease and prepared for everything.

Ashley was a vital part of my care team during my pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. She provided a calm, confident presence every step of the way. During labor, she gently guided me through problem-solving and patience as I progressed. She was able to provide emotional support for my husband as well. Her warmth and care contributed to the loving environment I was able to bring my child into. I'm so grateful for her support and I highly recommend her services.
