Biography
Hello, I’m Ashleigh — though most people call me Ash.
I am a privately practising Endorsed Midwife, Registered Nurse, IBCLC Lactation Consultant, NDC Practitioner, and Calmbirth Educator.
Through my private practice, I provide holistic, continuity of care for women and their families, offering midwifery care, lactation support, and neuroprotective developmental care from pregnancy through to the postpartum period.
I am deeply committed to walking alongside mothers during this transformative time, providing education, support, and guidance every step of the way, from the prenatal stage through to life with a newborn and beyond.
As a mother of six, I entered motherhood at a young age feeling underprepared and without the knowledge I needed about labour and birth. I often felt like a passenger in my own experiences, which led to fear and a lack of control.
This is what drives my passion today.
When I was introduced to the Calmbirth program, I quickly recognised how powerful this education could be for couples preparing for birth, and how different my own experiences may have felt if I had been equipped with that knowledge.
Calmbirth empowers couples to feel informed, confident, and in control as they approach labour and birth.
Because birth is not just the arrival of a baby — it is the birth of a mother, a baby, and a family. It is a deeply transformative experience that reveals a woman’s innate strength, resilience, and capability.
I am passionate about supporting women to reconnect with that strength and trust in their bodies, their instincts, and their babies.
You are the expert in your own body and your baby, my role is to support, guide, and equip you with the knowledge and tools to feel confident, calm, and empowered throughout your journey.

Oh my god Ash! My birth story is a dream come true and I want to thank you and the Calmbirth course for that. I think this will be our last baby but I would love to experience a birth experience like that all over again thanks to your Calmbirth class!! Although this was our third child, we still took so much information away from the Calmbirth course and I have run into a few mothers (who I don’t know) and highly recommended you on. The course had such a positive impact, which completely changed the way we viewed pregnancy + birth and even the way we experienced our own birth forever.

My husband and I did the Calmbirth course with Ash because we wanted to be equipped and knowledgeable going into the birth of our first child. For me, it was about having the confidence and tools to support my body to do what it is biologically designed to do. The end of pregnancy is filled with excitement about the birth of your child but also a lot of apprehension and nervousness. For me, this nervousness mostly stemmed from the fact that birth is unpredictable and things may not always go to plan or plans need to change in the moment.

Birth Preparation
Have you ever wondered why our pets seek out a quiet, dark, and private space to give birth? You might have noticed that your furry friend has chosen to burrow into your favourite dressing gown, prompting you to disturb them to save your cuddly, warm, and well-worn dressing gown from being covered in birthing remnants. Now that you’ve interrupted her, she scurries away. This makes you ponder and compare your birthing wishes with your fur child's labour and birth process.
