So much we don’t talk about (and need to) here!

Repost :

“A song about some of the heavier things I’ve been feeling in postpartum. I felt mom guilt even writing this one, but I’ve been posting a lot of super happy content on here …So here’s a little reminder that social media doesn’t tell the full truth.

Being her mom is the greatest thing I’ll ever do. I prayed for it. I also haven’t left the house alone in 4 months. Motherhood is not all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it’s a scary, lonely, confusing, transformative, existential rollercoaster.

I’m gonna call this one “The Death of Her Old Self” ✍️”

This is not evidenced based medical care- this is coercion. You deserve better. We deserve better. This post is for awareness and information. You have rights. You are in charge. You can say no and fire them in the moment. This breaks my heart. No one should have to FIGHT for autonomy or be threatened in labor. 🙏🏽😭

✨ The Practice and the Prayer: Reclaiming Birth as Sacred Ceremony ✨

Inspired by the African ritual of call and response, this foundational doula training honors the rhythm between ancestral wisdom and present-day practice. We believe birthwork is not just a profession—it’s a sacred calling, a continuation of the Black, Brown, and Indigenous birthkeepers who sustained our communities.

The Call: The sacred tradition of birthwork.

The Response: How we embody it through skill, advocacy, and care. If you are a BBIPOC aspiring or emerging doula ready to root your practice in justice, reverence, and evidence, your response is waiting.

Applications are open! Link in bio.

Her cries are our cries. We want something different. This is not just happening in Texas- I have seen this in NYC several times over the years. We walk in ready to push and they ask for insurance or ask a million questions while they’re mid contraction. The person is pushing but they insist they need to do a vaginal exam in triage because “who knows if that’s actually the baby”. THEY KNOW.

The onus shouldn’t fall on us to demand something different but it does. The issue does not end with the firing of that one nurse. This is systemic. It is racist in nature. When will they believe us? When will they see us? Where is the real accountability to change? Every L&D floor can do better.

We may be 1 full week into 2025 but we really had to sit with and reflect on 2024. If we are keeping it 100, it was a ch...

We may be 1 full week into 2025 but we really had to sit with and reflect on 2024.

If we are keeping it 100, it was a challenging year but also one of growth.

This is just a small look inside the things we are doing and have done at Ashe Birthing Services over the past year.

In 2024 Ashe:

- Served hundreds of families in NYC, over 90% BIPOC
- Won two Silver Cannes awards for our work on The Impossible Journey, an illustrative film on maternal health
- Built the capacity to build honorable data analytics program internally to track our impact in community
- Recorded and edited childbirth education series (coming soon)
- Was awarded National Minority Quality Forum's (NMQF) 40 Under 40 in Health Award
- Panelist at The United Nations General Assembly on Building Transnational Solidarity and Action Towards Health Equity: Closing the Maternal Health Gap for Women and Girls of African Descent

We cannot wait to share more about our childbirth education series (YESS it is FINALLY coming)!

Thank you all for the support, love and trust.

I have never heard this discussed and we need to. Many of us are moving in silence or whispers, but it’s really hard to be in this field while also trying to get pregnant or whilst losing a pregnancy.

Holding space for others in their joy, grounded in a trust that it’ll happen for you too.

I was at a birth earlier this year when my body started releasing a pregnancy. I paused attending births now so I can do fertility treatments and spiritual work. It’s a time to radically take care of myself and accept care from people that love me.

It’s a mind f**k to try your whole life to NOT get pregnant and then for it not to happen when you *want it to or feel ready for it.

Doulas, OBs, midwives - you’re human too. You hold many identities. We all do. It’s okay to dance in them all…to be a caregiver and space holder by profession and a big baby at home. You deserve everything you need in this moment.

Sending so much love to all going through this with me,

Emilie

P.S: Ashe doulas are still taking clients lol
