About the Provider

Welcome everyone! I'm Ashley, a Afro-Dominican & Puerto Rican mother to a 14 year old boy, raised in Washington Heights but currently living in Harlem, NYC. A Certified Full Spectrum Doula and Lactation Counselor who's supported over 40 families and counting. 

My passion for supporting families during this transformative time began when I experienced the birth of my own child. I realized the profound impact a skilled and compassionate doula can have on one's birthing experience. Although I wasn't able to have a doula at the time, I was able to use the knowledge gained about doulas and their work to achieve my own birth goals, which grew my interest and passion to become one years later. 

As a doula, I believe in creating a safe and nurturing space that allows parents to feel supported and make informed decisions during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. My approach is grounded in evidence-based research and is tailored to the needs of each family. I provide emotional, physical and advocacy support as well as evidence-based information and access to resources you may need to help encourage a positive and fulfilling birth and postpartum experience.  Ultimately, my goal is to ensure families feel empowered and confident while creating the vision they desire for parenthood.

​I am committed to continuing my education and professional development to ensure that I am providing the most up-to-date and effective care possible. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or a birth center delivery and/or you're just looking for postpartum support, I am here to support you every step of the way. 

I look forward to the opportunity to help you achieve your ideal birth and postpartum experience.
