Ashley Sohler

I believe birth is a normal physiological process and can be a profound, empowering life changing event when a woman is loved and supported during the process. I know that each birth plan is unique and every birth is different and perfect in its own way. I believe women were created to give birth and have the power physically and mentally to do so... without being told what to do or how to do it. As a doula/monitrice my hope is to equip birthing women to physically, mentally and emotionally step into the unknown of labor, birth and postpartum and come out empowered confident parents. My name is Ashley Sohler, I am a wife, and a mother of three beautiful children. After my amazing, empowering births of my own children in 2008 and 2010 I fell in love with all things birth and pregnancy. I completed a doula training by Elizabeth Davis in 2010 after which I started to attend births with a Licensed and Certified midwife. After two years of attending births I decided to enroll in National Midwifery Institute in 20I4. I was able to complete three years of didactic, apprenticeship and the birth of my third child in 2015 before I graduated in 2017. I hold my certificate from The North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) as well as licensure as a midwife through the California Medical Board and have attended over 200 births. As a midwife/doula/monitrice I believe that birth is a natural physiological process and interventions are unnecessary 95% of the time. I am here to help you achieve your personal birth plan in a safe and supportive environment.Read More
