I'm Ashley, a 6th generation Texan, Texas State graduate (Go Bobcats), a mom to 2 wild boys and 2 wild dogs, and a Certified Lactation Counselor and Birth Doula servicing the Central Texas region. A nurturer from the start, I have always been called to working with babies and supporting their growth. I went to Texas State to earn a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences: Child Development, so that I could continue to support families in my career. Like many, my passion and advocacy for lactation began with the birth of my first son in 2015 and I have successfully breastfed both of my boys into toddlerhood. I began my professional career in lactation as a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor for a non-profit (Hispanic Health Council in CT) in 2018, went on to earn my CLC (certified lactation counselor), and I am now currently in private practice as a CLC and on pathway 1 to get my IBCLC. My years of experience in both hospital and home settings, college science courses, and direct supervision under an IBCLC mean that the only thing between me and the IBCLC credential now, is taking and passing the exam. Taking the step into becoming a doula felt like a natural next step for me and I am so excited to start supporting families in this area as well. "Get to know me" consults for doula support are free and bookable through my booking link provided. I consider myself a holistic provider and aim to work with like-minded families.
