Hi, my name is Ash (They/Them). I’m a birth & postnatal doula and antenatal
educator in North Buckinghamshire. My focus is on supporting women to bring all
of themselves on their journey to motherhood, empowering them with the tools
and knowledge they need to feel confident and supported, wherever their journey
may take them.
My care is holistic and person-centred. All of my services are inclusive, trauma-
informed, LGBTQ+ friendly and neurodivergency affirming (I am autistic and non-
binary).
I am passionate about informed choice, and support births both at home and in
hospitals – whatever is right for you! I believe in giving women and families the
evidence-based knowledge and tools they need to make their own choices,
whether that’s within the mainstream maternity care system or “birthing outside
of guidelines”. I support women to bring their whole self to their pregnancy and
birth experiences, maintaining their personal autonomy, and giving them the
confidence to enjoy their pregnancy and birth experience as they grow into their
new family.
My passion for supporting women and families through birthwork began after my
own pregnancy and birth experience with my son. I began as a breastfeeding
peer supporter, and I went on to study midwifery. This showed me that my heart
lay with emotional and practical holistic support for women, and that I would be
better placed to provide this outside the obstetric midwifery model. I left my
degree in search of truly woman-centred care, and trained instead as an
antenatal educator and birth & postnatal doula.
It can be easy to get swept along the one-size-fits-all maternity services
conveyor-belt system; my work focuses on empowering women to have
confidence in their own choices, providing evidence-based education, and
supporting you and your family as you grow into the next phase of your life.

More About Me:
Outside of birthwork, I enjoy reading, knitting & crochet, gardening, and walking in
the woods – my son says I’m obsessed with trees! I also play a lot of Dungeons &
Dragons. I enjoy wild-swimming and am currently on a personal journey of
reconnecting with my nature-focused spirituality. You can usually find me curled
up under a blanket crocheting or reading with thunderstorm sounds playing in
the background!
