  • Hi, I’m Ashley Robinson. I became a doula because I truly believe in the power of support during life’s most tender and transformative moments. I’ve always felt called to give back to my community, and being a doula allows me to help families start their journeys with strength, care, and connection. I believe that what happens in pregnancy and birth can ripple through someone’s whole life, and I want to be part of building that strong, loving foundation.

    My path to doula work has been anything but traditional. I am pursuing a masters in Computer Science and currently work in IT. But that background has given me skills that serve me well in this space: staying calm under pressure, problem-solving, and clear, compassionate communication. I also work as a birth assistant at my local birthing center, and I hope to eventually merge my tech knowledge with birth work to create tools that make support more accessible for all families.

    I live in Houston, Texas with my husband, our three amazing kids, and my wonderful mother-in-law. I’ve moved quite a bit in my life, from Baltimore to Japan, Hawaii, North Carolina, Las Vegas, and now Texas, and each place has shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation for all kinds of families and experiences.

    When I’m not working, I love gaming (cozy games are my jam, I’m currently playing Crime Scene Cleaner), gardening, and just enjoying life with my family. I also share my home with a lively little crew: two cats (Shawshank and Crookshanks), three puppy dogs (Sadie, Rosie, and Appa), and I’ll always hold space in my heart for Crackers, my African Grey Parrot who lived a life over 40 years.

    I bring warmth, calm, and a deep sense of care into every birth space I enter, and I’m honored to walk alongside growing families during such an important time in their lives.

Testimonials

Tracy tells us,
“This course was informative and educational. I enjoyed learning how to become a doula.”

Patricia shared, 
“This course was great. I loved how easy it is to use, as someone who is not very technologically inclined. The coursework was challenging and I learned so much. My instructor was always very easy to reach and very responsive to any issues I had. I loved being able to work at my own pace and skip around a bit. Videos are hard for me as I am very self-conscious so it was nice to be able to postpone them for a bit until I could really practice and feel my best. ”

Judith shared, 
“The instructors and course materials/videos were all so wonderful and informative. I truly feel very well equipped with all the knowledge and tools I now have to start as a full spectrum doula with multiple certifications under my belt. Thank you, IDI, from the bottom of my heart. My true passion is blossoming before my very eyes!”

Miranda tells us, 
“I started my training at IDI almost a year ago. The courses have given me exactly what I needed to become a confident doula! After looking at several different doula training programs I decided on IDI because I have two young children and could work at my own pace online. I also really liked that the curriculum was contributed to by different backgrounds and trainings, not only from one perspective. This program has offered more to me than I ever could have thought! Not only have I learned how to support Moms and families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum but I’ve been given tools in growing my reach and communication… just to name a few. There’s also huge support from other doulas in the program. I recommend this program to future doulas!”

Mary says, 
“Started my journey (with admitted fear) only a month ago and felt immediately at ease! This program is very fluid. Work at your own pace. Easy to reach help and support the whole way through. Everything you need to know to hit the ground running with confidence once certified.”

Brenda tells us, 
“My name is Brenda and I have been studying with IDI for a while now, looking forward to the Postpartum course also. I have found the studies, books, and information to feel well rounded in information and comprehensive. I love all the books they have chosen for my studies. Also, the opportunity to be hands-on with the additional class, interviews, videos, and Moms-to-be. This is a part of the program that brings all the reading, studying…everything to light! The teachers are kind, understanding and obviously VERY experienced and can guide and support me throughout this wonderful journey of certification to be a “Doula” I’m so happy I chose IDI to be my training! Thank you!!!! I look forward to the future!♡”

Joyce says, 
“I love being a student with IDI!”

Laura tells us,
” Easy to do at my own pace, good supplemental readings. ”

Hannah tells us,
” Hey this is Hannah! I’m SOO excited to have finished my courses & have become a CERTIFIED DOULA! I almost can’t believe I have that title, with my name!!! This has been a lifelong dream. I’m very grateful to have been able to do it online, as I am a stay-at-home mom to 7 amazing children. It was very convenient for me to work on, as I had quiet time, during my little’s naps. Having been through labor, birth & breastfeeding stages of my life, helped tremendously. However, it was a very practical course & easy to understand the instructions. I highly recommend IDI to anyone who is interested in becoming a doula!! Thank you, IDI!!! ”

Tatyana says,
“I enjoyed everything about this course. Very informative and detailed.”
