Ashlee B. in Oklahoma City, OK

Nested Oak LLC

    Practice overview

    I have been a birth doula in the OKC metro area since November of 2016. My passion for all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum began during my own journey into motherhood. The more I prepared for my birth, the bigger my passion grew. Like most stories in life, my son's birth didn't go exactly as I had planned. It did, however, completely transform the way I saw myself. I now find great joy in walking with other families through their own transformation stories as they grow their families.

    I have a deep love for Jesus, my husband and our two children, family, and our community of friends. We are faithfully connected to a church in downtown OKC and love being a part of what God is doing in our city. In my free time, I enjoy adventuring somewhere outside with my family, drinking a cup of coffee, spending time connecting with friends, reading, painting/creating something, and spending time in bookstores. I am an introverted extrovert, enneagram 9, and a chaser of joy and curiosity.

    Care philosophy

    It is my goal to help my clients feel prepared, respected, and confident; regardless of how their journey unfolds. Although the number one goal of birth is a healthy mama and healthy baby, I believe there is much more to the story. Birth is a transformative experience for the entire family and holds great value for the rest of your life.

      Ashlee is the greatest doula we could have ever hoped for. She met and exceeded all expectations we had! Not only is she an expert in her field, she is exceptional at meeting her families mental and emotional needs as well. Ashlee is full of wisdom, patience, compassion, and strength. We ended up needing an unplanned cesarean delivery for our daughter and she was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the entire process including postpartum. She answered our questions, calmed our fears, and never once made us feel like our birth was anything less than beautiful. Ashlee cares for her families with wisdom and grace and is the perfect doula to add to any birth team.

      Ashlee went above and beyond to care for my family as a doula for our second baby. She provided education for all different aspects of birth, which even as a second time mom I found very helpful and learned a lot from. She was also a huge mental and emotional support during pregnancy and labor. She brought a calmness and security into the hospital room that I am forever grateful for. We love Ashlee so much!

      Having Ashlee as our doula was nothing short of a gift!!! As first time parents we were navigating so many unknowns. All we knew was that we wanted to have a natural birth in a hospital. We knew that we needed to learn more but we also deeply needed support. Ashlee was that and so much more. Her prenatal visits leading up to the birth were so helpful! They made us feel more confident in the things we were learning, and also created space for us to really think about what we wanted for our birth experience. Her words were encouraging and empowering. She was always attentive, fully present, and so patient with all of my questions! Her presence brought peace and comfort during labor and delivery for both me and my husband. Her support during labor allowed my husband to be fully present and attentive to me throughout the whole experience! Ashlee is genuine, intentional, and gifted in what she does! My husband and I can’t imagine not having her with us in our future pregnancy’s/deliveries!!
