Hi! I'm Ashley

I'm Ontario born, but the island has been my home for many years. I live near Nanaimo with my partner and our dog, Carter. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and riding my motorbike. In my spare time I love learning about nutrition and cooking traditional foods. 

Why am I a doula?

  • I believe birth is beautiful and hugely empowering for women.

  • Autonomy and making informed decisions that you think are best for YOU, is incredibly important to me.

  • I enjoy learning and sharing information about maternal health and nutrition

​

Going through the journey of birth and postpartum, can be challenging - but it can also be a beautiful, memorable, and positive experience too! Having someone there, by your side making you feel empowered and encourage you to make the decisions you want for yourself, can play a huge role in how you look back at the experience. My passion is to be that person for you! I want to help you feel safe, heard, and supported during this journey.
