Became a Doula

Ashlee Miller, Doula, Tallahassee, Florida The rebellious nature of adolescence led me to drop out of high school only a semester from graduation and I was soon surprised by a positive pregnancy test. I found out that my life paralleled that of my closest friend Susanna (see Susanna’s story) who handed me a book on The Bradley Method. When I chose midwives, I found a new strength within myself and I birthed in water with the adoptive family present. Suddenly it seemed that helping women experience birth as I had was my purpose. I went for a Bachelor’s in Women’s Studies, I attended the doula training, and I had the amazing opportunity to live and work with Suzanne Arms. I work as a family support worker and I devote my time to sharing information and supporting women as they parent from pregnancy to childhood. My hope is to advocate for women more specifically during pregnancy and childbirth by offering direct services.

Expert Voices

“Orgasmic Birth is without doubt the best movie on birth that I have ever seen and I have seen many. The production values are fabulous. I loved the clarity of sound and photography and the music was just right in setting the mood. The short commentaries by some of the world's experts on birth were to the point and free of jargon. I also appreciated the wide spectrum of modes of births that were covered from home births to water births to C-sections in hospital. This movie is an inspiration to families who want not only to birth a child but also to birth a family. Whether you contemplate starting a family now or in the future this movie is a must see if for no other reason than because it makes us realize that birth is a uniquely mysterious experience of sacred ecstasy as no other experience in life.”
