Welcome to Soul Shine Doula!
My name is Aisling (pronounced As-Lynn) and I am a trained Full Spectrum Doula through Doula Trainings International (DTI) and also adult, child, and baby First Aid/CPR/AED certified. As a doula, I will encourage and ease you through the journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum by providing emotional, physical, and educational support. I believe in empowering all birthing people to make informed decisions for themselves, feel confident and respected during labor, and feel cared for during their postpartum period.
I became passionate for doula work after the birth of my son in 2019. My entrance into motherhood was beautiful, joyful, as well as intense and overwhelming. I look back and still wish I had hired a doula for my birth, but especially for those early days when I was nervous and questioned everything. Then came the pandemic and being a new parent was very isolating. It was shortly after my son’s first year of life that I knew that I wanted to assist others on their journey into parenthood so they can feel confident and supported while bringing the tiniest humans into the world.
When I’m not providing doula support you’ll find me spending time with my family, enjoying a local hiking trail, or visiting family at the lake. My husband and I are proud parents of our energetic two year old son who keeps us quite entertained and active. We currently live in the Seacoast with our pup and seven chickens.
I studied at Keene State College and graduated with a Bachelors in Sociology. I previously worked as a service coordinator for children with disabilities and now work for a great privacy company.
