Ashley Collie, LM CPM
Founder of Haven Birth & Wellness
Licensed midwife and mother of three, Ashley founded Haven Birth & Wellness in 2020 under the name Hill Country Birth & Wellness. Her journey to birthwork came about from her own childbirth experiences; they were not traumatic but they were not what she wanted. Ashley started as a doula supporting childbearing families in the Richmond, VA area. Shortly after becoming a doula, Ashley accepted an apprenticeship with a local homebirth midwife. Over the next 8 years, her training took many twists and turns, ultimately landing Ashley in Burnet, Texas after becoming a Texas licensed midwife in 2018.

Outside of her clinical and systems work, Maeve is an author currently writing a birth guide tailored for neurodivergent birthing experiences.
