Compassionate Support and Education

Thoughtful, well-rounded care and education for every stage and every story — from birth to bereavement, from grief to growth. Whether seeking doula support, 1:1 grief coaching, or professional training in perinatal loss, families, doulas, and organizations are met with knowledgeable, compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Birth Doula Services

I provide birth doula support to all, but specialize in the needs of those experiencing pregnancy after loss.


Birth Doula Services Include:
 

  • One or two prenatal visits to create a birth plan and discuss your specific support needs
  • Evidence-based information on pregnancy, labor, and delivery
  • Texting, phone call, and email support throughout pregnancy
  • Labor support starting when requested, meeting at your home or delivery location
  • 24/7 on-call support starting at 38 weeks
  • In-person support for 2 hours following birth
  • One in-home postpartum visit to check in and debrief about the birth experience
  • Referrals to local and online resources as needed


Cost of Services: $1,500


Bereavement Doula Support

Loss looks different for every family, and so does the support needed. Whether you're navigating an early pregnancy loss, a stillbirth, TFMR, or infant loss, compassionate care is available to walk with you through the moments no one should face alone.


Support May Include:


  • In-hospital presence (e.g., for induction, D&C, or procedures)
  • Postpartum care in-person or virtually
  • Memory-making opportunities (photos, castings, keepsakes)
  • Sensitive support with logistics (funeral arrangements, disposition options, etc.)
  • Text support, virtual sessions, and follow-up resources



Pricing:


Because each loss and situation is unique, pricing is discussed on a case-by-case basis based on the level and type of support needed.


*As a General Guide:

  • Early pregnancy loss support (primarily virtual) often aligns with my 1:1 grief support coaching rates ($400/month).
  • In-person hospital support, postpartum visits, or more intensive care may be priced similarly to my birth doula packages (up to $1,500).


*Sliding scale and payment plans are always available. No one will be turned away due to financial need!

1:1 Grief Support Coaching

Grief isn’t something to fix, and you are not broken. Grief needs to be witnessed, and your emotions give the safe space to shared. Whether you’re grieving a death, a life transition, or a pregnancy or infant loss, these sessions offer a steady, compassionate space to process your grief at your own pace.


As a Certified Grief Educator, I offer compassionate, supportive guidance rooted in both personal understanding and professional training. Support includes emotional processing with grief education, resource sharing, and movement towards finding ways to integrate your pain and love.


Support includes:


  • One 60-minute session per week (via Zoom or in-person within 10 miles; additional travel fee applies)
  • Text and email support between sessions
  • Tailored resources and referrals
  • A space to feel seen, supported, and gently held through your grief


1:1 Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support

Includes all the above, with added postpartum care rooted in my experience as a bereavement doula. We may explore physical healing, lactation or chestfeeding decisions, memorial options, and support for tender next steps after loss.


Pricing: $400/month


Add-On Sessions:

  • $50 for a 30-minute session (phone or virtual)
  • $75 for a 60-minute session

Testimonial

“My daughter Violet was stillborn on August 21, 2024. I knew I needed to find some loss support groups and a community to lean on. Ashley happened to be a facilitator for both of the groups I found. She has played a vital role in my journey through loss and grief. Ashley is empathetic, understanding, kind, and an amazing listener. She has cried with me and held me up on some of my darkest days. Anyone going through perinatal loss would be incredibly blessed to have Ashley support them.” ~Grace W.
