Welcome


Childbirth being one’s most significant life passage, 
those close to us when we open to birth a baby will never be forgotten.”
- Robin Lim


My name is Ashley Topacio and I am a DONA-trained birth doula and ICEA-trained childbirth educator located in Seattle. I became drawn to working with women and families during their pregnancy year after my first two children were born: I realized the significant effect that childbirth education and unconditional support had on the way I felt about my birth experiences and my abilities as a mother.


Presently, I offer private childbirth education courses that can be taught in your home or a neutral location near you. My classes are based on the ICEA philosophy of "...freedom to make decisions based on knowledge of alternatives in family-centered maternity and newborn care."



As a doula, I attend home, hospital, and birth center births in the Puget Sound area, North to Everett, South to Olympia, East to the Cascades, West to the Olympics. It is my belief that every woman that desires a doula, childbirth education, and placental services should have access, regardless of financial status. Please contact me about alternative payment options if you are facing hardship; I would love to hear from you.
