Meet Your Doula

Ashley A. Denton

Welcome! I am the founder of Root & Moon as well as a certified doula and childbirth educator serving the metro Atlanta, GA area. The first birth I ever experienced was that of my baby sister when I was just 8-years-old. Witnessing my mom carry my sister and joining her on that journey was so incredible that I have been deeply passionate about pregnancy, birth and motherhood ever since.

All these years later, it has been a privilege to turn that passion into service for women in my community, and it is an honor every single time I get to support a mother as she brings new life into the world. The journey to motherhood can be deeply exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. My job is to calm all those fretful whispers in your head by providing evidence based information and preparing you for the road ahead every step of the way.

As your doula, I will draw on my professional training, knowledge and experience to minimize pain & fears, decrease your risk of major medical interventions and increase the likelihood of you having the empowering, positive birth experience that you deserve.

Root & Moon's Mission

Our mission is to provide mother-centric care and holistic, evidence-based support to expectant mothers during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. We are dedicated to strengthening the mind and preparing the body for the spiritual and transformative undertaking of bringing forth new life.

Purpose of a Doula

Doulas are a critical component of your birth team as they are present to give you emotional and physical support through comfort measures, affirmations, positioning & movement, creating space for informed consent, safety and more. Doulas work in tandem with birth partners to give the birthing person the optimal support team they deserve. Doulas do not offer medical care or make medical decisions. Root & Moon Doulas are trained professionals dedicated to mother-centric care, helping you have a positive birth experience and supporting you as you welcome your newest family member.
