Ashante J. | Birth Doula in Hamden, CT

The Miracle of Life

    Practice overview

    As a birth doula, I provide emotional and physical support during one of the most vulnerable and life changing moments for a woman and her family. Influenced by my mother's birth story, as well as my very own, it has propelled me into wanting to approach and caress this innocent moment with a gentle touch.

      Ashante, has been a stellar peer within the medical community, always striving for high quality care that produce amazing patient outcomes. Ashante is someone who never strays away from any patient assignment regardless of how challenging or difficult the assignment may be. If anything she is always resourceful and quick on her feet to advocate for her patients and ensure that patient autonomy is always being maintained and respected. Within the clinical settings that I have worked with Ashante, I have always seen her flourish regardless of what floor we’re on, and she always makes herself available to other nurses and patients for extra help or just to make things run smoother. Ashante is a very compassionate, caring, and skillful with all her patients and really goes above and beyond to individualize care for her patients and really highlights care to the whole family unit and not just the patient. As she states that for proper care and advocacy for an expecting mother, it is not just the mother in the picture but instead it’s the whole family unit that partake in the experience of welcoming a new life to this world.
