Ashley was amazing and I don't know how I would have endured active labor without her, especially during the 10 minutes of pushing that caught me completely off guard. She knew exactly what to do at every turn: back massages, hot water on my back, cool towels on my head. I can't explain how she knew exactly what I needed but somehow she did on a level that was so intuitive it's scary. I never once felt loss of control because I had her words and guidance there to help me. Her support from the first day I met her has been invaluable and that was in my first trimester.
I keep telling everyone, "My doula had my baby." Because she really did! There was one line that she said that I can't even remember, but it made me harness every last ounce of strength to finally get my baby out into the world, without any medication, just how I wanted. I definitely want Ashley to "have my babies" in the future. The awesome experience I was able to have with her help is probably the only thing that could even get me thinking about going through that journey again this soon. Thank you for everything, LoveBug Doula Care & Natural Essentials
