I was lucky enough to have Ashley join me for doula services in my early third trimester. She was immediately present and actively engaged in communicating with me before my delivery. She showed up to the hospital as soon as I notified her prepared and stayed by my side the entire time. She was comforting and encouraging throughout my delivery and made sure to respect any request I had for my birthing plan. I am especially grateful for her post-natal presence. She has been thorough in follow-ups and has been a strong support to me during my current post-partum struggles. I would highly recommend her.
