Birth work isn’t just something I do—it’s something that called me. My journey into this work was anything but traditional. It wasn’t a single moment, but a series of experiences—witnessing the strength of birthing people, learning the power of informed choices, and realizing that support during birth is not a luxury, but a necessity. I stepped into this calling because I believe every person deserves to feel empowered, heard, and deeply supported as they bring life into the world. My approach blends evidence-based knowledge with intuition, advocacy, and a deep respect for the sacred nature of birth. This is more than a profession—it’s a purpose. And I’m honored to walk this journey with you. Don't wait—book your appointment today and step into this powerful journey with confidence.

Few moments in life are as powerful, vulnerable, and life-changing as the moment a mother meets her baby for the first time. Hi, I'm Ashton, a birth and postpartum doula with a deep love for supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood. Anyone who knows me knows that caring for babies and supporting growing families has always been close to my heart. Birth work is more than a profession to me—it's a calling. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, respected, and cared for as they navigate one of the most important experiences of their lives. I enter each birth with a calm presence, a listening ear, and a commitment to meeting families where they are. I have experience supporting hospital births, home births, cesarean births, and VBACs. Whether your goal is an unmedicated birth, an epidural, a planned cesarean, or simply feeling informed and confident in your decisions, my role is to walk alongside you—not to direct your birth, but to support you as you make the choices that are right for your family. I value both the wisdom of the body's natural design and the benefits of modern medical care. My goal is to help you feel informed, grounded, and supported while creating space for you to have the birth experience that best fits your needs and circumstances. In addition to birth support, I also offer postpartum care during those precious first days and weeks after baby arrives, helping families adjust with confidence as they settle into life with their newest little one. If you're preparing to welcome your baby and are looking for a supportive presence on your birth team, I would be honored to connect with you and see whether we're a good fit.

My mission is to help parents and partners feel informed, confident, and truly supported through every stage of the perinatal journey. Through practical guidance, emotional reassurance, and education, I empower families to build strong foundations and embrace parenthood with confidence and connection.

I've always looked forward to raising a family and have been blessed with eight children. This has given me a variety of experiences: 3 hospital births (one high risk) and 5 home births (including water births). My first experience with having a doula during labor made a huge impression me. This support of specialized care elevated the level of comfort that I didn't realize I needed. Later, at my midwife's request, I began assisting her at deliveries for a time. Because of that opportunity, it ignited a passion to support and encourage other moms in their pregnancy and labor. I love to encourage mothers to empower thenselves with knowledge and learn to trust their mothering instincts. I bring a calm, steady, and nurturing presence to create a safe space for labor and delivery and will be your advocate for your birth plan unique to you.

I approach each client relationship with deep respect for their lived experience and autonomy, integrating trauma-informed principles of safety, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and cultural responsiveness. From the first prenatal session through postpartum recovery, I focus on identifying emotional triggers, fostering body awareness, and supporting informed decision-making. I help clients develop personalized birth and postpartum care plans that emphasize consent, comfort, and self-advocacy. During labor and delivery, I offer continuous emotional and physical support—using grounding, mindfulness, and evidence-based comfort techniques to reduce fear and enhance coping. My calm presence and advocacy help clients maintain agency and connection to their goals, even within high-stress or medicalized environments. In the postpartum period, I extend care to include recovery support, mental health awareness, and infant bonding. I collaborate closely with healthcare providers, midwives, and social workers to ensure continuity of trauma-informed care and connect families with community resources, perinatal therapists, and peer support networks as needed. Through this work, I have supported numerous clients in achieving safer, more empowered birth experiences, often resulting in reduced anxiety, improved postpartum adjustment, and stronger parent-infant relationships. I have been recognized for my ability to build trust within diverse and marginalized communities, particularly among survivors of violence, immigrants, and low-income families. My professional practice is grounded in continuous learning and reflection. I regularly pursue advanced training in trauma-informed care, reproductive justice, and perinatal mental health to remain current with best practices and to strengthen the quality of support I offer. By integrating both advocacy and education, I aim to break cycles of intergenerational trauma and promote emotional resilience for every family I serve.

Hi, I’m Sandra! I’m a quantitative researcher in public health and social policy, working on large-scale cohort studies and program evaluations. I’m passionate about using data to understand real-world challenges and inform better policy and program design.

My journey to becoming a doula began ten years ago. After giving birth to four wonderful children, I wanted to help other women experience the beauty and joy that I did. I successfully completed training through DONA, got within one birth of my certification, and put my doula dreams on hold; our sweet baby number five arrived several months later! Fast forward a decade when I reconnected with Amy Bauer. Not surprisingly, she totally renewed my interest in serving as a doula, so my husband and I decided I should pursue my doula dream once again. Here we are! In short, I love babies and every aspect of childbirth. I feel strongly that each woman should be given the best chance and all the tools possible to have her birth be a good memory to look back on. I look forward to hearing about what YOU want YOUR birth to look like, and I will be there to support you in whatever ways are best for you. Our communication will strengthen trust and help me understand any of your concerns so that I can be a calming, encouraging, or empowering influence wherever needed. No matter how you desire your birth to look, and no matter how your birth unfolds, I want to be as supportive as possible. And, after delivery, I will be there to answer questions, give input on breastfeeding, and make sure you’re comfortable with your sweet little one.
