“I didn't realize how much emotional and mental support I would get from Asha during the most challenging postpartum period, my first six weeks of being a mom. She was like a friend and therapist who understood what I was going through and always gave sound advice if I asked for it, or just a non-judgmental, listening ear. If you are looking for a doula who you can learn from, who will talk you through tough moments and early parenting challenges, and who will feel like part of your team, look no further than Asha! I remember being drawn to Asha’s deep and innate commitment to, and love for, caring for babies and children and working with families. And having worked with her, I’ve seen first hand that it really is a calling for her and not just a job.”

“Asha is a wonderful birth doula with a pragmatic and down-to-earth style. She was a great resource both for labor preparation and the labor itself. I really appreciated Asha’s practical and evidence-based approach. She also figured out how to work with my Kaiser insurance which was great!”

— Raechel, Oakland, CA

“I would recommend Asha to all moms but especially first time moms. Her energy is so calming at a time when there are a lot of heightened emotions around fear of the unknown. I felt that I could surrender to those fears knowing that I had her emotional support. Also, the fact she does birth and postpartum support is really nice. She was one of the few people I trusted to care for my daughter when she was really young because she had been with us from the beginning.”

“Asha really LISTENS to my needs. She provides guidance when I needed the direction and the right education, a helping hand when I am exhausted.”

— Lucia, Palo Alto, CA

“Asha helped indirectly support relationship and emotional well-being as a couple. Most people think doulas are just there to help with labor and childcare but the surprising value is that Asha helped strategize how to maximize rest, weigh the pros and cons of feeding decisions and help us make the best decision for us as a family at that time. It led to more sleep, less anxiety and a much more enjoyable postpartum period.”

— Kevin, Daly City, CA

“We trust Asha blindly. She would just come in and take over, we would do a short debrief, and I would be off to sleep. I didn't have to worry or give much direction; she just knew what to do and took lovely care of our son. Asha follows direction very well so I knew he was being taken care of exactly the way I needed him to be.”

— Anushree, Berkeley, CA

“Asha is a very calming presence that made such a difference during turbulent times in those first few weeks. The moment she arrived it felt like the entire aura of the house changed and the baby calmed down. Can't recommend Asha enough.”
