Hi! I am a Certified Lactation Counselor (soon to be IBCLC in the fall), 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 transitioning into marketing. I also completed training as a holistic health counselor while publishing my first cookbook, Yogi Eats.

It was through my interactions with my audience and clients, 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, each path shared the common denominator of amplifying the voices of those in under-served communities, especially in New York City and throughout New York State.

Nurturing, educating, and uplifting families during transformational moments are 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 our breastfeeding journeys, I was inspired to seek additional training and mentoring in Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) and airway health.

When I'm not working with patients, I'm pursuing a master's degree in Infant + Maternal Nutrition with a focus on a holistic approach to pregnancy, postpartum, and infant/toddler feeding. I'm also pursuing my certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and am honored to have received the Fall 2023 IBCLC Education Scholarship from the US Lactation Consultants Association.

I see patients in my office in the Bronx and offer home visits in the Bronx, Uptown, UES & UWS, Westchester, and Queens.
