Welcome to Birth & Bloom with Ashley…
Thoughtful, personalized support for your journey into parenthood.
Whether you're navigating the unknowns of the birth experience for the first time or seeking a redemptive subsequent birth, you deserve support that centers you—your voice, your values, and your vision for birth. At Birth and Bloom, I provide evidence-based, individualized doula support that helps you feel confident, informed, and cared for at every step.
I'm Ashley—a mother, educator, and doula—committed to walking alongside families with both warmth and clarity. My own experiences giving birth, particularly the contrast between a highly medicalized first birth and a far more supported second, showed me just how powerful the right information and presence can be. That journey led me here: to offering the kind of care I once needed—professional, steady, and personalized.
With a background in education and school leadership, I bring strong communication, reliable organization, and a calm, grounded presence to the families I serve. I take the time to understand your goals and concerns, and I provide resources and practical guidance tailored to your unique needs—without pressure or judgment.
At Birth and Bloom, I offer:
Prenatal education and preparation to help you understand your options and feel ready.
Birth support that is calm, collaborative, and centered on your preferences.
Postpartum guidance to ease your transition into life with a newborn.
Logistical and emotional support so you can focus on what truly matters.
I believe that every family deserves a birth experience that feels informed, supported, and respected. You don’t have to do this alone.

About your doula…
Ashley, a mother of two, discovered her passion for birth work through her own transformative birth experience. Her first birth involved a cascade of unwanted interventions, leading her to seek a more supportive and personalized experience for her second birth. In 2021, she hired a doula, and the exceptional support she received ignited her commitment to helping others on their birth journeys. The detailed information about choices, hospital procedures, and resources helped her navigate her second hospital birth with confidence—a feeling she now strives to share with other expecting parents.
With a background in education as a teacher and school administrator, it is no surprise that Ashley is committed to staying up to date on valuable, evidence-based information that families may need. She also handles logistical support, allowing parents to release and focus on what truly matters during birth. Her personal approach is centered on understanding each family's unique needs.
Ashley believes that every journey into motherhood is unique and is dedicated to offering personalized support tailored to each parent's needs and preferences. She shares information to empower families, encouraging them to take what resonates and leave the rest, ensuring they feel well-informed and supported in making choices that align with their values.
When she’s not supporting families, Ashley enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, traveling, practicing yoga, and exploring new recipes in the kitchen. She remains engaged with social issues affecting children and mothers, while also embracing the ongoing journey of rediscovering herself post-motherhood.
Choosing Ashley as your doula means having an attentive and knowledgeable guide with a lifetime of experience in supporting communities and families.
