Ashley Edwards
Birth & Postpartum Doula
I am a new doula passionate about helping families through their pregnancy and postpartum journey.
Hi! My name is Ashley
I am originally from Northern Ontario and moved out to the island 11 years ago. I now live in Langford with my partner and our dog. I enjoy dancing, camping, hiking, coffee and riding my motorbike!
I have always been passionate about pregnancy and birth. I believe it is one of the most empowering things you can do, and no one should feel like they have to do it on their own.
I am trained through DONA International and working towards my certification. My training includes:
-
Childbirth Preparation Class, July/August 2023
-
DONA International Postpartum Doula Workshop, March 2023
-
DONA International Birth Doula Workshop, November 2022
-
Foodsafe Certification
-
Bachelor in Science - University of Victoria
