Gaia Birth Services

Ashley was our doula for the birth of our second daughter. We had a couple prenatal visits with her. We discussed what we wanted for our ideal birth, and she helped us write a birth plan. She showed my husband several things he could do to help ease my labor pains, like where to apply pressure on my back (great for back labor!!!). She even did Childbirth Education with us and helped us learn and practice positions for laboring in.
I went into labor in the middle of the night, and she was only a phone call away. She arrived at the hospital just as we got into our room, which made me more comfortable when my husband ran to the car to grab our bags (and put his mind at ease, knowing someone was there with me). She helped me get in different positions to try to help labor progress, and was right by my side the whole time. She brought honey sticks to help with energy boosts, and other things. She also took notes for me and emailed me them later, to help me write my daughter’s birth story.
She was willing to help us pack up from the hospital and come home. We had one postpartum visit with her, where she encouraged our successful breastfeeding, and helped us answer any questions we had.
She was wonderful support before, during, and after birth, and I would recommend her to anyone!
