​Hi friends! I am a Certified Lactation Counselor, in addition to being a birth/postpartum doula and co-owner of Ashe Birthing Services and the co-founder of The Bridge Directory.

After studying Magazine Journalism at Syracuse University, I spent the first few years after college working at various publications, including Parenting Magazine before working in marketing. I have also completed training as a holistic health counselor while publishing my first cookbook, Yogi Eats.

It was through the interactions with my clients and audience, many of whom were pregnant or birthing people, that I became involved in birth work; I jumped right in and immediately felt in alignment. Though my professional life has spanned many different industries, the paths shared the common denominator of amplifying the voices of those in underserved communities, especially in New York City and New York State.

Nurturing, educating and uplifting families during such a transformational event is essential to my work as both a doula and a lactation counselor. My commitment to this has only been deepened by becoming a mother to a son and daughter. Through their breastfeeding journeys, I was inspired to seek additional training and mentoring in Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) and airway health.

​When not working with patients, I am pursuing a masters in Infant + Maternal Nutrition with a focus on a holistic approach to pregnancy, postpartum and infant/toddler feeding. I am also pursuing my certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and was the recipient of the Fall 2023 IBCLC Education Scholarship from the US Lactation Consultants Association.
