About Me
My name is Asia. I was born and raised on the island of Hawaii, and now I reside in Alexandria, VA.
Throughout my life, I have felt called to serve women in many different seasons of their lives. This calling has brought me to supporting women through their childbearing years.
I am continuing my education to become a midwife so that I can serve women with more hands-on, personal skills. In the meantime, I have the knowledge and experience to serve as your doula. I walk alongside each woman, newborn, and family, providing excellent hands-on care tailored to each family's individual needs.
I intertwine My love for birth and My love for fitness, offering a tailored experience for expecting mothers & mothers in the postpartum season or beyond. Passionate and certified in prenatal and postpartum training, I approach women as a whole with a holistic approach.
I firmly believe that every woman and family deserves support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. When women are supported and uplifted, it shifts the atmosphere around us and creates a ripple effect in our community. This is what I would like to do for you.

Having a doula by your side during birth can lead to a smoother, more empowering experience. I will be there to guide your husband so he support and nurture you to be apart of it all as well, overall this experience is for the both of you to remember.
I am with you every step of the way, holding space and advocating on your behalf. Studies show that doulas help reduce the need for interventions like epidurals and C-sections, while also shortening labor. Beyond the physical benefits, i offer constant emotional support, comfort techniques such as counter pressure, hip squeezes, and help you feel calm, confident, and in control. When necessary we can work through different spinning baby techniques, or body positioning changes. With a doula, you’re never alone—you have a caring guide who supports your choices and helps create a more positive, peaceful birth.
Those first weeks after birth can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. As your postpartum doula, I’m here to support you. Whether it’s holding space for your emotions, helping you rest and recover, cooking yummy meals or guiding you through newborn care, my role is to nurture you as you nurture your baby. Families who have this kind of support often feel more confident, experience less stress, and are less likely to face postpartum depression. You deserve to feel cared for, heard, and supported every step of the way—and that’s exactly what I’m here for.
Strength training during pregnancy and postpartum does wonders for both your body and mind. It can cut your risk of gestational diabetes by up to half and ease pregnancy back pain by building strength and improving posture. Plus, it lifts your mood by releasing feel-good endorphins when stress feels high. After baby, it helps you recover faster, rebuild core and pelvic floor strength, and even lowers the chance of postpartum depression—giving you more energy and confidence for motherhood. as a mother a specialized pregnancy and postpartum trainer i am excited to walk with you along this journey and beyond!
"Having Asia as my doula was a HUGE blessing! If I could I would hire her for every pregnancy. Asia has all the best qualities I thought I’d want in a doula. She had a deep love and passion for the health of myself and my baby, she listened to my needs, she’s funny, & light-hearted. She’s a beautiful person all around. Also, during my labor she applied the absolute BEST counter pressure on my lower back during contractions & trust me you’ll need that"
