  • As a first time mother choosing Ash as a midwife was the best decision I made during my early pregnancy. She is very knowledgeable in all stages: pregnancy, delivery and post-partum. Before I found Ash I had three appointments with my OBGYN. In my first appointment with Ash I learned more about my pregnancy than I had during all my previous OBGYN visits. Ash provides a comprehensive Handbook covering everything from pregnancy to child-birth and post-partum. I found this extremely useful and informative. At all times during Ash’s care I felt safe and confident in her skills and knowledge trusting in her ability to provide the best care possible, which she did. I could not imagine going through my birth without Ash as my Mid-wife, she empowered me, giving me the best possible birth imaginable!
    I highly recommend Ash Johnsdottir!

  • We received excellent, individualized care from Ash Johnsdottir. She is an incredibly intelligent person, as well as a very kind soul. I especially love how she bridges the gap between the medical and midwifery realm--taking the best of both worlds to provide the best care for her clients. Her in-home office and patient library is very cozy and welcoming, and she is always sure to ask consent before doing any procedures (even one as simple as touching the baby belly). She answers all questions as thoroughly as possible within the realm of her knowledge, and goes out of her way to research further if necessary. She was always a phone call or a text away, I felt like I could ask her anything at any time and receive her full attention. She treated my family and my unborn baby with the utmost respect, and when my daughter was born successfully at home she provided us with incredibly efficient medical care, as well as genuine warmth and affection, at the birth and in the 6 weeks following. So grateful for Ash and highly recommend her!

  • I've had two homebirths now with Ash as my midwife. They were both wonderful experiences.

    Ash is a very knowledgeable, skilled and respectful midwife. She always laid out all the information for me and then respected my decisions.

    With Ash I always felt like a person first, an individual, as opposed to my previous OB experiences where to them I'm just another patient.

    I really appreciated how she took the time at each appointment to not only answer my questions, but also teach me how to do certain things myself like feel for my baby's position and use the fetoscope to listen to my baby's heart beat.

    She was amazing and so kind with my two littles and made sure to include them when they attended appointments with me. She even let my 5 year old use the Doppler and blood pressure cuff!

    Between appointments if any questions or concerns arose Ash was available via phone call, text, or through the patient portal and was always very prompt, (most of the time immediate) with a reply.

    If you're looking to step away from a hospital birth and step into the midwifery model of care I highly recommend Ash and Willamette Birth.

  • I’ve been assisting Ash at births for almost ten years now. I have also asked her at times to provide coverage for my practice, and trust her with my clients.

    She is a kind, competent midwife and a good friend. My experience assisting her has been that her clients are happy and well taken care of.

  • Ash is a fantastic midwife. The personalized and comprehensive care you get from her practice is second to none. She was always there to answer any questions we had day or night and the appointments are lengthy so you never feel rushed. I also really appreciated the combination of modern innovations and practices mixed with a more naturalistic approach. We would definitely have her as our provider again!

  • Ash was my midwife for my second child. She was great, always highly responsive whenever we needed to get a hold of her and she was great with my 4 year old. I gave her a 4 out of 5 stars only because she is medically minded and we had different beliefs in medicine but overall, my home birth was a success thanks to her!

  • Having an at home birth with Ash was such an unforgettable experience! For the first time I can confidently say I couldn’t have asked for a better birthing experience. Having Ash as a midwife felt like having a friend that knew when it was time to put her professional hat on and she always took the time to listen to me and actually hear me. Ash helped me make informed decisions all throughout my pregnancy & always respected my choices. End of the day I felt supported and in control of my birth and it meant the world to me. Now our sweet baby is here and we couldn’t be happier! Giving birth at home was a dream, and that’s how I would choose to do it again if we were ever surprised with another baby! (; Thank you Ash!!

  • I chose Ash as my midwife and I can say with great confidence I made the right choice!! This was my second birth and I wanted to do it at home and natural! My first birth wasn’t terrible or traumatic, but there were some things I wanted to do differently than my first! Ash was very supportive with the decisions I made during my pregnancy and birth! I love how she’s pro organic and into herbal medicine! She was very informative and reassured me whenever I had fears about my birth. I had the BEST natural birth experience thanks to her!!! I’m just so over the moon with how well my natural birth experience was! I highly recommend Ash as your midwife if you want a natural home birth and are into herbal medicine! She’s just to great!! ♥️?

  • Amazing! That's the words I would use!! I had two previous births, both in a hospital. I was looking for something different, something personal and unique. Ash was just that. She was thoughtful, caring, reliable, and really listened to my concerns and worries. She was always prompt in getting back to me when needed. As far as birthing, she came when I called no questions asked. I really couldn't have asked for better care for my in home birth. I highly recommend Ash!!

  • I made the decision to switch from an OB to a midwife at 20 weeks because I was determined to receive personalized and gentle care, and that is exactly what I received from Ash! I never once felt rushed during any visit, she answered all of my questions professionally and unbiasedly. Ash was incredible throughout our home birth... Calm, patient, and supportive. I appreciated her extensive knowledge and techniques, and her unique combination of classic midwifery and modern medicine. If you are searching for an intelligent and encouraging midwife, Ash is your gal.

  • Ash is absolutely wonderful!
    She was always sure to make me comfortable during each visit, and during my labor she was wonderful!
    I am the type of person who wants personal space and she was very respectful of that.
    As an LGBT couple we were a bit nervous about finding the right midwife who would be accepting and she was just that!
    I have recommended her to several friends already and I will continue to recommend her!

  • Both of my children were welcomed to the world by Ash, and I would choose her again in a heartbeat.

    She gave me tough love when I needed to do my part in setting up for the easiest birth experience possible, she stayed cool headed yet compassionate when issues came up, and was consistently respectful of my physical being and my choices for my child. (The latter of which is especially important to me and rather hard to find in a health care provider.)

    Ash is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and was an invaluable guide through both of my pregnancies and into motherhood. I couldn't be more grateful to have found her.

  • Had a great experience with Ash, this was my second baby and decided to do something different as it was not a good experience with my first in a hospital. I am happy to say home birth and everything was awesome. Ash is very informative and takes time to explain, she helped and guided me on things that helped during pregnancy and labor, was always reassuring and making sure I knew what my body was capable of. Would not change anything.

  • Ash is a very medically minded midwife who will provide the optimal medical experience in the comfort of your home.

    Ash helped me question all my birthplan intentions and helped me dig down deep to make sure I was confident in all my choices. Frustrating and rewarding at the same time.

    Ash respected my birth plan intentions even when they went against common practice and provided an atmosphere of acceptance and respect which is something I’m very grateful for.

    Aah is a great midwife for someone who wants an out of hospital birth experience but wants the optimal medically minded midwife with a holistic caring provider.

  • My whole experience working with Ash was great! I was a little nervous to have a homebirth at first, but it ended up being one of my best experiences. All the pre-natal appointments were great and the birth experience was amazing. I'm a private person and so I appreciated that she and her assistant Anita let me do my thing in the birth pool with my husbands support without being up in my buisness. They were a strong and supportive presence in the room and helped me feel confident that if any problems came up, they would know what to do. I bled a bit more than normal after birth, and man I tell ya, they were wizards at making sure nothing got blood on it! :) Also, Ash knew exactly what to do to help the bleeding subside and I never felt worried or upset. Ash is a wonderful midwife and I am very grateful that she helped me have a great homebirth experience, especially during this pandemic.

  • Ash gave me the empowering prenatal and home birthing experience I have always wanted. From my very first appointment, Ash was compassionate and respectful of each choice I made. If I was unsure about a decision, she was there to provide objective and thorough information to help me. Her philosophy is a perfect blend of medical and midwifery practices, and she was readily available by call or text the entire pregnancy. I brought my 6-year-old son to most of my prenatal appointments and Ash was so great with him! He learned a lot through the experience and she was sure to always include him. When it came time for delivery, our in-home care was exactly as I had imagined. The experience was filled with warmth, peace and extraordinary care. I’d return as a patient of Ash’s without hesitation!
