¡Hola!

My name is Ashley González, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in International Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, a field rooted in human rights principles. Since a young age, my passion for justice has driven me to advocate for women, children's rights, and the rights of immigrants and undocumented populations.

Following my undergraduate studies, I embarked on a meaningful journey working with undocumented unaccompanied children (UC) who had recently crossed the border alone. This experience was deeply rewarding, as I witnessed the resilience, courage, and strength displayed by survivors and affected communities, fueling my personal growth and providing a profound sense of fulfillment.

During my time working with UCs, I encountered reproductive health challenges that reshaped my perspective on bodily autonomy and community-based care. In 2020, I decided to pursue further education and training. I became a Full Spectrum Doula, Spiritual Herbalist, and, most recently, a Lactation Counselor. This allowed me to merge my passion for justice and healing by offering care, educational resources, and emotional support to individuals facing reproductive challenges and navigating the complexities of the healthcare system.

Over the past two and a half years, I’ve had the honor of supporting 26 families through pregnancy and childbirth. With diverse family support experience, I've worked with Spanish-speaking families, single parents, houseless parents, LGBTQ+ families, and those with mental illness disorders. I adapt to various birthing experiences, from medicated to unmedicated births, cesarean sections, and high-risk clients, empowering families to make informed choices.

I am deeply thankful for each family who has chosen me as their doula during this sacred time of their lives. It would be my privilege to extend this support to your family as well and contribute to your journey into parenthood. Your trust means the world to me, and I am honored to walk alongside you during this incredible experience.

Thank you,

Ashley 🌻
