what People are saying

  • Ashley was just what we needed - an experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, fun, and calm post-partum doula who would help us navigate all the curveballs of the first month or two after the arrival of our precious package as first time parents. She was super communicative around scheduling and other questions we had even when she wasn't with us, she showed up on time when we needed her even though her commute was not short, and she didn't try and upsell or push any of her other services onto us either. She was amazing with our baby and taught us SO much to help us feel more comfortable and confident with taking care of our little one. Would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a post partum doula in the Southern NH/North Central MA areas!

  • Trying to find a good IBCLC, doula, and or childbirth educator can feel like looking for a unicorn. Ashley is hands down the most amazing IBCLC I have ever met! It is very rare to find a person who is as passionate as Ashley is about their profession. Her knowledge about oral ties is unmatched. With my first pregnancy, I struggled very badly with breastfeeding because of oral ties. With Ashley by my side to give her knowledge, unwavering support and gentle guidance, with my second child that process was made so simple and stress free. Ashley goes above and beyond in everything she does. Ladies, you have found a unicorn! Do not pass up on the opportunity to work with this wonderful woman!

  • My husband and I attended Ashley’s Physiological Birth class and gained so much from it! Ashley did a wonderful job making everyone feel comfortable, along with a skilled presentation covering much needed information that helped us prepare for our birth. I loved that it was small group, interactive, and informative. From labor anatomy and phases , positioning, comfort, and coping skills to breastfeeding and more - Ashley covers a lot of ground in a clear, succinct, and empowering way. Ashley's approach is warm and welcoming, and she is full of birth wisdom!

    - Katie M

  • I highly recommend Ashley’s Physiological Birth Class! My husband and I are expecting our first child and we were really looking for more information to make us feel more confident as we become parents. Ashley did more than that for us. We learned so much about so many different topics regarding pregnancy, stages of labor, breastfeeding and early childcare. We really got into the nitty gritty and ended up feeling so much more ready for what the future holds! She also answered all of our questions fully and is incredibly personable and easy to talk to. I will definitely be recommending this class to any I know who is inquiring in the area.

    -Monica F

  • I love the painting and the umbilical cord heart!! I am obsessed with how the Placenta casting came out, if you want the perfect keep sake this is it 🫶🏼 SO glad this was able to be done. Ashley Thank you 100 times plus more. You are amazing. I would highly recommend any services she has to offer. Just look how amazing these turned out.

    -Shannon C

  • We had Ashley come to us for a home visit for lactation support shortly after returning from the hospital. Her visit was incredibly helpful and informative, giving us peace of mind that our little one was doing well while also offering suggestions to improve our ongoing breastfeeding journey. If you are considering having her for a home visit, would highly recommend reaching out! Our initial hospital experience offered little breastfeeding support and having someone come in the initial sleep deprived days of being home was immensely helpful.
