18. Holding Space: The Role of a Doula with Ash Huntly (The Deni Doula)
In this episode of The Educate & Empower Podcast, Bec is joined by the warm and passionate Ash Huntly, also known as The Deni Doula.
Together, they chat about Ash’s journey to becoming a doula, what a doula actually does, and the many ways doulas can provide support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
They also explore the idea that no two experiences of motherhood are the same—and that’s okay. Whether you're preparing for birth or deep in the parenting trenches, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that your journey is valid, and support can make all the difference.
Tune in for an honest, heart-centred chat about choice, care, and creating space for every kind of parenthood experience.
