My name is Holly, I am a wife and mother of 13 awesome children. I had my first home birth over 14 years ago and instantly knew I was called to serve in the midwifery world. I started by acquiring my training as a doula and working for several years alongside incredible midwives in my community. I have worked as a doula and assistant midwife while continuing to study midwifery. I've done training in holistic medicine and nutrition, I also enjoy helping mamas have healthy pregnancies and teaching holistic ways to improve their lifestyle and families. My heart is called to support mommas and empower them to have the midwifery care and birth that they desire. My husband and our children live on a small family farm. We enjoy raising most of our food and have a passion for healthy living and homeschooling our kids. Three of our children were adopted internationally, our family as a whole has a big heart for serving the community. I am thrilled to have the privilege of working with our community and empowering our incredible mamas.

Ashley V | Birth Attendant | Doula | Birth & Family Photographer
Hey! I’m Ashlie. Birth is one of the most personal and impactful experiences you can have. Welcoming someone new into your home to support your birth takes trust, and it’s important to know you’re inviting someone who will respect your space and your family. I’m a mom of two, a wife, doula, and birth & family photographer. I’m also currently working toward becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)—and that’s just the beginning of this journey! Stay tuned… My own births deeply shaped my approach to supporting families: my first birth showed me how powerful a birth can be when everyone is on your side, and my second taught me the importance of healing. I believe every family deserves compassionate care and the freedom to have the birth they’ve dreamed of. My heart is in supporting mothers and families through each step, offering a presence that’s both empowering and comforting. My goal is to be there to encourage, uplift, and hold space for you as you welcome your little one into the world. It would be my honor to be a part of this journey with you!

I studied Human Development & Family Sciences, Psychology, and Criminal Justice at Penn State University and Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania.

My education and experience with law enforcement and law have informed this passion for helping others live fuller, healthier, and more connected lives. As an advocate for holistic health and home births, it is my goal to support your family through these transitions.
