About Ash

Birth is not just about birthing babies, but birthing mothers as well. Over a decade-long career,I have experienced first-hand with many families both the magnificent beauty and transformative challenges that come with being a mother (and a baby!) during the early weeks of an infant’s life. As a mother myself, I have had the profound privilege of experiencing birth and postpartum- an experience all-consuming, transformative and took me to the very depths of my spirit and beyond what I thought I was capable of. My postpartum experience opened my eyes to things I cannot un-know, that which propelled me to deepen my work and my wisdom in caring for new mothers and babies during this very sacred time. I feel deeply and profoundly called to this work- being entrusted by families to support them in the most tender of moments. Watching these little souls land into their new world. The strength and courage it takes to usher them in. And the vulnerability we show as human beings in these life changing moments of birth and beyond.

For millennia and across all cultures around the world,  birth, and the period after, has been sacred and regarded as the single most important, challenging and transformative period of a birthing person’s life. I have felt called to the spirit of babies and birth since I was child. I wanted to be a mother all my life and always regarded women and birth and babies as something of magic; something divine and sacred. Through my work, my passion has only deepened as I have continued to witness this profound moment in time where mothers deserve to be nurtured, supported and empowered during these first 40 days postpartum.

I enjoy cooking, poetry, reading, painting and many forms of artistic expression. I love and connect deeply with plants and birds. I have a home garden, many spirit alters within my house that I tend to, and backyard birds that I feed regularly. I generally regard everything I am doing as some form of magic, whether it be cooking, making herbal tinctures, writing or coloring with my daughter. I try to spend as much of my day outdoors, in the sunshine and with nature as it is a requirement of my spirit.


My goal is to create a sacred place of healing that honors and cultivates the inner wisdom that all women posses, while supporting mothers in caring for themselves and their babies in a way that feels true and authentic to them. I look forward to empowering you through your journey!
