Ashleigh

I am a devoted, empathetic Doula who is obnoxiously passionate about supporting individuals and families through the most transformative and powerful experiences of their lives!

Equality is at the heart of everything I stand for, and I remain committed to supporting all people, marginalised communities and anybody requiring guidance to ensure all voices are heard in spaces where rights, choices, and safety have often been overlooked or taken for granted. 

My experience and dedication to this work began when I saved up my pennies and took off to America at 18 years old volunteering with people from all walks of life who didn’t have the same opportunities as most. This quickly led me to becoming a Social Worker and starting my career in child protection, women’s refuge, community services, business management and education. 

I feel fiercely obligated to advocate for equalisim, empowerment, education, informed consent on all journeys in life from the beginning through to the end, not to mention every transition in between.

I am rapidly approaching 20 years in the field and upon reflection, my favourite things other than the honour I have holding space for people, is that fact that I learn something new every single day and acknowledge that no two experiences will ever be the same. I guess I’m just an old gal learning new tricks daily which ignites my flame over and over again!

I have spent the majority of the past decade as a qualified Trainer & Assessor supporting women to find their passion to become Doulas, mentoring, guiding and reflecting on their learning experiences to contribute to our society.

This led to me and my Doula Sisters to creating our business Mother Moon where we educate, mentor and work with families supporting their babies who have sadly died.

Complementing this, I am part of the Natural Grace family who holistically care for people who have died and stand by their families to farewell their loved ones.

When I am not working, I say this laughing very loudly, I get to hang out with the best tribe of all, my little fambam! I am one lucky lady to be supported unconditionally by a very handsome fella who keeps the world turning for us all while I am here there and everywhere for so many others! We have 3 sassy, brave, compassionate children who rule the roost and 3 furbabies who also rule the roost equally, not to mention Timmy the Turtle and a black cat, which every witch needs!

We spend our time primarily as uber drivers for our kids, coaching endless sports but also love travelling anywhere in our van, on the water, hanging with our amazing friends and enjoying the simple things in life.  

My extensive training compliments my personal experiences that has formed my unconditional compassion and dedication to each and every person I have the honour of holding sacred space for.

My passion really begun to focus on women and families as I embarked on my own journey to start my family, facing hurdles I never knew existed!

I am dedicated to supporting people to strive for their chosen path in all aspects of life as I firmly believe it is the right of passage to be supported from first breath to last.
