I'm extremely happy with my husband's and my decision to choose CLEBaby for the birth of our baby and have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with Ashley. As we planned our natural childbirth, Ashley and Gina were available to answer our questions, provide resources, and assist in preparing our birth plan. Ashley and the CLEbaby team scheduled a training to learn about the Relaxbirth chair with the research coordinator at our hospital. As a participant in the study, I was comforted to know Ashley had the knowledge to help us utilize the chair fully. During labor, Ashley joined us at the hospital for what would become a nearly 24 hour long event. Ashley's presence during labor was calm, confident and comforting. She offered many suggestions for position changes and helped set a relaxed and quiet mood with jungle music and essential oils. Though we planned for a natural birth, our daughter was delivered via cesarean section. This could have been a huge disappointment for my husband and me, but we felt all options had been thoughtfully considered and we made the best decision. Ashley helped us to explore every alternative scenario presented to us. Her knowledge and non-biased support made all the difference. Since the birth of our daughter, Ashley has been in touch to check in and offer additional postpartum resources including breastfeeding support groups. Her extensive connections in the northeast Ohio area have been so helpful. She was a valuable resource before, during and after our baby's birth. I recommend CLEbaby for anyone looking for doula support!

I'm happy to give Ashley and CLEbaby a glowing, five star review of the doula services provided for the birth of our first! We were looking for an unbiased support system to educate us on the many facets of prenatal, labor, and postpartum. From the get go, Ashley offered non opinionated, information on the many different avenues we could take and worked with us to craft our birth plan. I'll admit I had a stigma that doulas were a bit hippy-esque that would only push natural procedures but Ashley and her team are not that way. We were a bit discouraged when we learned that we had to schedule an induction to avoid some potentially dangerous circumstances and knew we would be facing a long, grueling labor. Our birth plan shifted but Ashley was there offering support and comfort at at time that easily could have caused us to feel overwhelmed and that we didn't have control. She stuck with us through the majority of a 33 hour long labor and provided immeasurable comfort and ease. Ashley brought a delicious snack plate for us to indulge in after such an exhausting labor which helped me feel replenished (you can only take so much broth and jello). I would certainly recommend Ashley to others interested in a doula and look forward to working with her again in the future! I truly couldn't imagine going through this experience without her - she exceeded all of our expectations.
