Ashton Hendrix, Birth and Postpartum Doula and Certified Breastfeeding Counselor

I’ve loved everything surrounding childbirth and pregnancy since I was little. I’m always a supportive person and truly listen to others without judgment and I have such a caring personality that I believe is crucial to being a great doula. I want to make a positive difference in the world and be that extra support person for any parent going through such a vulnerable time in life. I have been a professional babysitter/nanny for 10+ years, but that’s not where my experience caring for children and babies began. I have nine younger siblings that I adore with my whole heart and I’ve been able to care for them since I was six years old. I’ve also experienced some caretaking of adults who need extra assistance and support. I believe the biggest part of all that experience that enhances my work as a doula is that I have a big heart and know a lot about babies and I have such a passion for pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn care. I live with my mom, step-dad, one of my brothers, and one of my sisters, but I have seven other younger siblings that live in two different states. I have a precious little dachshund named Buttercup, but I call her Ween Ween (because she’s a weenie dog). She’s very sweet and smart and has such a big personality. I love her like she’s my own child! I live north of Dallas, TX in the McKinney area. I was born in Lubbock, TX but my parents moved down to the Dallas area when I was almost two years old, so the majority of my life has been here. I like to binge-watch my favorite show on Netflix, which changes every time I finish the series, but currently, I’m watching Virgin River and Criminal Minds. I also love to play volleyball – indoor is my favorite! I also enjoy spending time with my best friend and my boyfriend making our own adventures. My best friend had a baby girl in December of 2021 and I am her honorary aunt – I go by “Auntie Ashy” and I adore her so much, so I spend a lot of time with them when our schedules align!
