What families say

Working with Ashley as our doula was easily one of the best things we did during pregnancy. Our 1:1 sessions were so calming and helpful, and her series of classes (Childbirth 101, breastfeeding, infant CPR, newborn care, all of it!) made us both feel actually prepared instead of just overwhelmed.

★★★★★ — Tanya, 2025-03

We are thrilled working with Ashley Minihan as our Doula and with the courses we have taken so far. We have completed the Spinning Babies Course, our in the middle of the Childbirth Education Course, and are signed up for the breastfeeding course and I truly love having this information for myself & my partner.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, 2023-10

Five (5) stars isn’t enough and doesn’t equate to the level of quality, care, education, value and professionalism by Ashley and her team! What a truly amazing experience! This has exceeded our expectations and i highly recommend all services and resources available at Empowered Beginnings.

★★★★★ — Andre', 2025-03

I am so happy and grateful for our experience with Empowered Beginnings for class support and especially our pregnancy and labor doula, Cheri. I felt really heard, empowered, safe and advocated alongside the entire process - from my first call with Ashley to the whole labor process with Cheri.
