Labor Doula Services
Because the birth journey should always be supported
Doula Services
-
A doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. As a licensed midwife, I bring a deep understanding of the physiological birth process into this space—while intentionally serving in a non-clinical role. This means I do not perform medical assessments such as checking dilation or monitoring your baby’s heart rate, but instead focus on helping you feel supported, informed, and confident as you navigate your hospital birth experience.
My role is to hold steady, grounded support—offering comfort measures, encouragement, and guidance as you make decisions that feel right for you. This can be especially valuable for families planning an unmedicated hospital birth or those who desire a more personalized, supported experience within the hospital setting.

Due to the demands of my midwifery practice, I am currently offering doula services on a very limited basis. Priority is given to families planning a hospital birth who are seeking an unmedicated experience but for various reasons are not candidates for out-of-hospital birth.

“Ashley was my doula for my fourth baby and she was such a help emotionally and at the end physically. My baby wasn’t positioned right and she came over and helped reposition her and she was quickly born that afternoon. I can’t highly recommend her enough! Thank you, Ashley!”
