Hi, I'm Ashley! I found a passion for Birth and Postpartum Services after the birth of my first child. I am certified through The International Doula Institute and have a background in Early Childhood Education. I have worked with children from birth to 6 since I was 17 years old. I started my career with infants and children as an infant room teacher, I worked through the ages and enjoyed my time as a Lead One-Year-Old teacher, but my passion was infants. I also spent 2 years as an Assistant Georgia PreK teacher and was the Assistant Director of a local childcare facility. I now have 3 children of my own, 2 girls and 1 boy, all school-aged. My passion is guiding and helping families navigate adding a new family member whether it is your 1st or 5th child. There are challenges that come with every stage, and I love being there teaching and helping to guide and make the transition as smooth as possible.

Baby Care Through The Night Get more sleep while trusting your baby to a nurturing doula. The doula will gently care for your baby as you outline. For nursing mothers, the doula will provide breastfeeding support (as needed), and change and settle the baby for you, allowing you more sleep. Also… For bottle-feeding mothers, the doula will care for the baby exclusively during the night, allowing mom and dad to get a full-night’s sleep. The doula can take notes as to the baby’s feeding times and amounts, change diapers, make suggestions for encouraging sleep, wash bottles, and prep formula for the coming day. We have a 6 hrs. minimum per night but no minimum number of nights. Try one night and see if it works for you!
