Elephant Baby: Extensive Postpartum Support

08/08/2025

Meet Ashley 💕

She’s one of our amazing Postpartum Doulas and In-Home Care Specialists and shares our passion of reclaiming wellness and collectivism here within the Eternal Postpartum Movement! 😃

Ashley just joined our team a few short weeks ago and has already had the opportunity to bless a new mama with intimate, holistic postpartum care.

We have built a deep level of trust within our community over the last few years and want to continue in that by giving you all the chance to get to know Ashley by sharing a piece of what’s on her heart:

“I’m Ashley — a devoted mom of four, wife, and a doula with a heart for helping families. My journey into birth work began in 2015 as a breastfeeding peer counselor with WIC, where I discovered my calling to support and uplift families.

In 2021, I became a certified birth doula, and a year later, I expanded my role by becoming a bereavement doula.

Now, I'm excited to grow even further as a postpartum doula, helping families navigate postpartum with confidence and care. I believe every family deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Through self-discovery, encouragement, and shared knowledge, I help families confidently advocate for themselves and their little ones, every step of the way.”

Ashley’s commitment to empowering families highlights our Collective Action Pillar within the Eternal Postpartum Movement.

✨We believe that no mother should walk this journey alone.

✨We walk in restoring broken systems that leave mothers alone.

Together we reclaim the village that society keeps telling us we need! This is how we radically re-define postpartum and empower mothers throughout the INFINITE chapters of postpartum.

🚨 PUBLIC APOLOGY AND URGENT MATTER

To our community whom we deeply love,

It's Kilah- for those who don't know, I'm the owner and founder here at Elephant Baby. I have some very uncomfortable news that I feel is necessary to share in transparency. We have built such an incredible reputation with hundreds of families over the course of 7 years so I feel that it's my duty to bring this to light and put this person on blast.

We need a reliable support people for postpartum care! We have someone who has been with us since the agency started, but lately, she has not been able to make herself available to provide support to families. I have firsthand reports she is always tired and with the family she is currently working with, she gets distracted easily and even falls asleep on the job! When it comes to feeding the baby, it's a disaster. She's too tired to burp the baby at night and sometimes skips diaper changes that may be needed in the wee hours of the morning to catch a few extra moments of rest. And don't even get me started on diaper changes, she's always forgetting to restock the diapers and wipes! More than caring for the baby, she's always looking for a snack and moves from task to task without finishing. Did I mention that she's always on her phone claiming she's handling "other business matters." We have tangible proof and photos of everything that I've called out here and I'm going to post in the comments below!!! They have also been tagged to this post!!!

BTW...that person is me 😂

Sorry to give you all a scare 😅 I have truly been enjoying my postpartum time! 3 months in and I'm so incredibly grateful that I AM NOT IN THE FIELD and have an incredible team around me whom I can trust to bring high-level support to the mamas who need it-no matter what stage they find themselves in postpartum! Not only have we been blessed with incredible providers, but none of this would even be possible without our amazing client and contractor support specialist Amanda Cooper! I love this team and wanted to take the time to publicly announce the appreciation that I have for each and everyone one of you as you've walked alongside me to radically reform what postpartum looks like in our community!!

P.S.- we need more providers (doulas and lactation specialists). If you are interested in joining us in this incredible movement we are spearheading to reclaim wellness and collectivism throughout the infinite chapters of postpartum in alignment with biblical principles, won't you submit an application? 🙏😁 👉 https://www.elephant-baby.com/site/business-partnering-opportunities

PP.SS- if you're a mama like me who got a good chuckle out of my postpartum woes..mainly because YOU CAN RELATE 😅 I'd love to set up a connection session with you so that we can chat about how our incredible team can walk alongside you for a few weeks and help you feel empowered in your postpartum journey 👉 https://elephantbaby.hbportal.co/public/658469fbe3698a00389d4fc7/1-Schedule_an_intro_call

We are so honored to be serving our community in such a dynamic way! Thank you all for putting up with my shenanigans! I hope it brought a smile to your face! Or better yet, a big ole belly laugh! 🤣 If it did, share it so that we can connect with those we are meant to connect with!

SOMETHING. HAS. TO. CHANGE.

And we’re here to do just that. We’re here to show mothers that no matter what stage you find yourself in during motherhood, you deserve to be supported! Society’s standard for postpartum must fall and Kingdom standards must prevail.

It’s time to get back to what Yah desired for His daughters in motherhood:

✨wellness
✨community- you know…that village that everyone talks about but few actually have😩
✨wholeness

When we return to the ways of our Creator, everything changes🤍

This is what the Eternal Postpartum Movement is all about!

We have had the opportunity to support 100s of mothers in feeling supported and empowered throughout the infinite chapters of postpartum. And we are looking to align with more women who desire to do the same! It’s a MOVEMENT!

If you are called to be the catalyst for change in our society so that we can reclaim postpartum according to biblical principles 👉 DROP “CATALYST” below!

If you’re a mother local to needing extra support so that you can rise to be the mother you’re called to be, 👉 DROP “SUPPORT” below!

The change has begun!

Hey everyone!! It's Kilah- owner and founder of Elephant Baby!

I've been soaking up all the baby cuddles lately and enjoying rest in my own postpartum time (really trying to anyway 😫the honest truth is I struggle with pushing myself too hard even while preaching to mothers the need for their own rest...ever wonder how a postpartum doula who's used to serving others shows up in her own postpartum time--another confession for another day...the hypocrisy is real😅), I'm coming in with an urgent and exciting announcement/request!

We need to bring on 5-6 more doulas and a couple more IBCLCs!

Most of our providers our currently unavailable for immediate support. We hate having to tell families that we don't have anyone to support them ☹️ We have built such a great reputation with the families here in our community and know that they are counting on us to help them feel supported and empowered no matter what postpartum chapter they find themselves in!

Help me out! Tag your favorite doulas who want to walk with us in spearheading The Eternal Postpartum Movement- where we help mothers and providers reclaim wellness and collectivism throughout the infinite chapters of postpartum according to biblical principles 😃

Or maybe you're a doula reading this and your interest is piqued!! Check out our info page to learn more about joining The Movement and becoming an Elephant Baby doula! Advanced holistic postpartum training is required, but pay is super competitive!👉 https://www.elephant-baby.com/site/business-partnering-opportunities

ORRRRR maybe you've been dreaming about what it would be like to finally step into your purpose of supporting moms in their postpartum journey! Can you imagine....playing such a dynamic and intimate role in the life of mothers---leaving the impact that's needed for mothers to stop surviving and truly thriving after childbirth! Being that support that mothers desperately need in the most delicate months of their motherhood journey! Maybe it's about time that you stop thinking about it and finally STEP INTO IT...fearlessly! Does this resonate with you? Training can be completed in as little as 4 weeks! Learn more and apply here 👉 https://www.elephant-baby.com/site/business-partnering-opportunities

IBCLC's can also learn more and apply here: https://www.elephant-baby.com/site/business-partnering-opportunities

Can't wait to connect with all the fearless women who want to BE the change that is desperately needed for us to radically re-define postpartum in our society! Let's do this 💪

Postpartum is FOREVER😍

Being a doula is full-time ministry.

Providing emotional, educational and hands-on support for mothers throughout the infinite chapters of postpartum is a high calling that builds the body of believers.💖
