Hi! I'm Ashley
I'm Ontario born, but the island has been my home for many years. I've just moved to Ladysmith with my partner and our dog, Carter. I am a coffee drinkin', dog lovin', motorbike ridin' birth and postpartum doula. In my spare time I like going for hikes, salsa dancing, and riding my motorbike.
Why am I a doula?
Going through the journey of birth or postpartum, can be challenging. 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.
