Prenatal appointments aren’t just check-ins. They’re where trust is built, questions are answered, and your birth vision starts to take shape. 🤍

These visits give us time to truly get to know you, your preferences, and your hopes for birth. We talk comfort measures, advocacy, partner support, and what you need to feel confident and prepared when labor begins.

Birth isn’t just one day, it’s a journey. And prenatal care with your doula means you don’t walk it alone. ✨

Meet the Doula: Ashton Scott

Ashton (she/her) is a birth doula, yoga teacher, reproductive justice advocate, placenta encapsulation specialist, and childbirth educator.

Being the oldest of 6 and having a background as a nanny, she saw firsthand what it is like to navigate the world of birth and postpartum without resources. Her passion for this work was born from the drive to ensure that all birthing people are aware of their options and informed throughout these most sacred times. In early 2020, she certified as a birth doula with ProDoula. Shortly after, in the summer of 2020, she certified as a yoga teacher and now teaches prenatal yoga.

She has had the honor of supporting hospital births, home birth, cesareans, VBACs, multiples, and high risk births. She believes strongly in informed consent and ensuring that birthing people feel empowered to make the choices that feel right for themselves and their families throughout their journeys.

Her approach of marrying education, instinct, and empowerment creates space for families to feel confident and held.

In her free time, you will likely find her with a book, a crochet needle, or snuggling with her pup!

Join us for a Day Shift as a Postpartum Doula!
-
While overnight postpartum doula shifts often center around sleep, day time shifts can look so many different ways!

These are just a few of the ways that your postpartum doula can support you:

✨ Washing and organizing bottles and pump parts
✨ Milk storage and organization
✨ Baby laundry (such as: folding and putting away, removing newborn items and organizing clothes by size)
✨ Tummy time, active play, and reading books
✨ Supporting parent's by answering questions about newborn care
✨ Feeding baby and nap time

Postpartum doula support can be very dynamic and is customizable with each family.

What was the most impactful way that your postpartum doula supported you?
