Meet The Doula

Alison Moyle, birth doula on the Freya Birth team.

Hi! I'm Ali

Mother, therapist, and doula.

My journey into birth work ignited through the experience of my first pregnancy and birth. I had been planning an unmedicated hospital birth, but when the global pandemic struck and hospital policies tightened, I felt a pull to change plans. I knew I wanted my doula with me, as I saw the value in her unique support, and she wouldn’t have been able to come to the hospital. At 37 weeks pregnant, I pivoted, and gave birth to my baby in my home. That experience, as well as my second homebirth, solidified my fire and passion for all things birth!

I graduated with my Masters degree in Social Work in 2015, and currently work as a therapist in my own small private practice, specializing in trauma and perinatal mental health. Doula work has been a natural extension of my years of experience in therapy. I feel so honored to be trusted, by both therapy and birth clients, in sharing their most meaningful and vulnerable moments with me. My strengths lie in my ability to be present. To show up fully, and hold space for the most raw of human experiences. I would so love to walk with you through this transformative, pivotal, and tender period of your life–pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. 

I have two darling daughters, two rowdy dogs, and a fun-loving and easygoing husband. I love music and concerts, traveling, moving my body, and being in nature–I can never decide which I love more between mountains and beach–can’t I love both!? I’m an introverted people-person, and love my down time as much as I love meaningful connection!
