| - We met Ashley early on in my pregnancy when I decided I wanted to do an unmedicated birth. My husband and I immediately felt at ease with her and decided to hire her as our doula. As my due date came and went, Ashley was always checking in on me, sending me encouraging messages and reminding me that our son would come when he was ready. When the day finally came, Ashley was there for us at 4:30am and urged us to get some more rest for the big day. I'm glad we listened to her! When our original plan to labor at home didn't go as planned, Ashley met us at the hospital very shortly after we asked her to come. And from there, I'm pretty sure she didn't leave my side! She was nothing short of amazing. She got me in the tub, walking the halls, on the yoga ball-- exactly where I needed to be for my stage in labor and for how I was feeling. She provided encouragement that wasn't over the top peppy and was firm when I needed it. She was also a huge help to my husband who was hungry, also exhausted, and probably a little in shock of all the things going on. We both agree that we wouldn't have been able to stick with our birth plan without her help. I could go on and on about Ashley but suffice to say, she was worth every cent. Especially if this is your first time and you want to try it without any meds, I urge you to consider hiring Ashley. She's an invaluable asset to have at any kind of birth.
