Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Ashley! I am a firewife, a mama of two amazing kids (Brayden 15, Abby 8), and a passionate, hard working birth and postpartum professional. After 2 decades of serving families in many capacities throughout Orange County, I know my true calling is supporting mothers and newborns fulltime, through the most precious and sacred times of pregnancy, labor & delivery, and the fourth trimester. With two children of my own and years of experience, my goal is to bring a calming energy to the room that helps support a positive mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical space for my clients. It is my passion and purpose to help guide, encourage, and educate mothers along each stage of their journey. One once said, “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life” (-Confucius), this could not ring truer for me!​​
