Local Resources



Asheville Mothership Community- Facebook group for local pregnant and postpartum mamas, and wonderful resource to ask questions, share knowledge and find community.

Mission Hospital Survivor Services- free and confidential program through Mission hospital that strives to create a positive birth experience for survivors of sexual abuse and trauma.

Krystal Kinnunen Acupuncture- If you are looking for acupuncture pre, during, or post pregnancy, Krystal is the woman to see! 

Kim Rush- Breastfeeding education, support and empowerment. If you need a lactation consultant, she's the best!

Heirloom Counseling- Attachment-focused, relationship-based therapy for growing families. We highly recommend Elizabeth Gillette. Her warmth, non-judgement, and passion for helping people shines in our community. We love that she is also a birth and postpartum doula, so she is very familiar and comfortable with all things pregnancy, birth and baby. 

Carrie Turner Photography- Have you been admiring all of the awesome group photo shots on our website? Carrie Turner for the win! If you are looking for a birth photographer, she's the best! She also offers fabulous maternity, newborn, and family photography. 

Linnae Designs Inspired Portraiture- Gorgeous maternity, newborn, and family photography. We love her style! Linnae's pictures are primarily taken outside, or in your own home, and with natural light. They have a beautiful, natural style and capture your family's personality and love.
