  • My wife and I wanted to do a home birth specifically for being able to chose how we wanted to experience the intimacy of our daughter's birth. We knew what type of experience we wanted and were so happy when we found Ashley of No Place Like Home Birth. She came to us highly recommended by other Midwives and we knew after our first visit that she was a perfect match for us. Ashley has the rare combination of being both extremely professional combined with being incredibly warm and kind. She asked us for our vision and what we were wanting and then shared how she thought we could make it happen. She answered all of our many questions along with offering recommendations for us to choose from thus empowering us to create what we wanted. I was very impressed with her knowledge, experience and meticulous attention to detail. She came to every visit well organized and would stay as long as needed to make sure we felt comfortable and confident in our plan. The day of the delivery was exactly what we had envisioned, surrounded by family and friends Ashley kept her focus on the well-being of my wife and baby through-out. She would make gentle suggestions from time to time to keep labor progressing. Our beautiful baby girl was born safely at home after Ashley's expert coaching encouragement. This was my wife's first home birth and she had gone into it doubting if she could do an unmedicated home birth but Ashley helped her believe in herself and remain confident and trusting that she in fact could. Ashley was calm, confident, gentle and decisive. Everything she said worked. I highly recommend Ashley Cavender for anyone wanting the intimate experience of a beautiful home birth where you feel supported through-out. She is amazing at what she does and is passionate about her work and her clients. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get the best possible care.

  • “My third daughter was actually my first homebirth. Homebirth was something I was interested in with my first, but my husband was more skeptical. After meeting with Ashley and her coworkers, he became more comfortable with moving forward. I'm so thankful for the time spent answering all of our questions, putting us at ease. Ashley has an easygoing and bubbly personality, and excelled at helping us come to the best decisions for us and our little one. This was especially helpful right after birth when she instructed me about the nuchal chord around baby’s neck. She was thorough during appointments in her explanations of symptoms and was knowledgeable along each step of the pregnancy and beyond! We never felt rushed or that we were asking too many questions. I had the perfect balance of support and allowing me to listen to my body during birth, and I couldn’t have asked for a better birth team 🩷 ”

  • “Ashley was my doula since I was unable to have a home birth due to some medical issues. Her presence was such a blessing to me. She helped me communicate to hospital staff what I wanted and needed, spoke up for baby’s safety when necessary, helped me try different positions to get baby unstuck, made sure I stayed hydrated, and created a calm ambiance in the room with fairy lights. Her efforts made all the difference in how I felt about the birth postpartum. She took what would’ve otherwise been scary, walked with us through it, and helped us have a positive birth experience where we felt supported, safe, and heard.”

  • “Ashley has been such an amazing presence at my birth for my second and third babies! I have a pretty difficult time when transitioning feeling like my body isn’t doing what it needs to do to birth my babies naturally but she is always there encouraging me and lifting up my spirit! I am so grateful to God for her.”
