From the very first day we met, my midwife made me and my family feel like we were part of her family. She has the kindest, most genuine spirit, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Every visit felt personal, never rushed, and she always took the time to explain things in a way that made me feel calm, confident, and informed. During my pregnancy and birth experience, she was so gentle, reassuring, and attentive; checking on not just me, but also my partner and baby every step of the way. She celebrates your wins, listens without judgment, and truly cares about your well-being physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What I appreciated most is how she made me feel seen and supported as a mother and as a person. She treated us with such compassion and love, and that made all the difference in my birth experience. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better midwife. If you're looking for someone who will care for you like family and guide you through your journey with warmth and wisdom, she's the one. read more

Ashley is a Godsend! When my care team at Charlton started adding visit notes to my chart that were never discussed and not documenting important things that were discussed I started getting a bad feeling. Then when they flat out ignored my test results and shamed some of my personal decisions, I decided to find a care provider that my husband and I wouldn't have to fight with during labor. And boy did I. It was night and day. Ashley was on my team, she is insanely intelligent and knowledgeable, she actually made me feel relaxed about labor, she had lots of information about everything when I needed it but ultimately supported me making my own decisions. I felt like if something went wrong during labor, I could actually trust her to put my and my baby's health first before anything else. Baby girl delivered 100% naturally, 10 lbs 4.4 oz, 22 inches long, and a giant head (92nd percentile I believe). No stitches. Quick postpartum recovery. And when baby girl's shoulder got stuck, Ashley knew exactly how to move baby and I to get her out with no injury to anyone. I was able to walk out and go home 3.5 hours after delivery... talk about non-traumatic. I know that would have been a different story if I stayed at the hospital. I'll always be so thankful for Ashley and her sweet assistant. Her birthing center is so lovely too. The drive over there puts me in a good mood because of how serene it is. The center itself is so clean and private and comfortable. It felt like heaven compared to the discomfort I felt at the hospital. Bonus that for postpartum visits I don't have to bring my newborn around a ton of people at a hospital. Thank you Ashley!!! read more

Ashley was my provider for two of my births. Absolutely wonderful experience! She provides safe, supportive care that emphasizes autonomy. She executes great judgement and genuinely respects reasonable wishes. She helped me in successfully have two home births after a c section and I couldn't recommend her more! read more

Ashley Greene, CNM, owner/operator and integral part of Serenity Midwifery & Birth Center is the real deal. She is absolutely amazing and very personable. I previously had an home birth with Ashley as my midwife. She rocked my VBA2C (vaginal birth after 2 cesareans)! I recently just gave birth to my fourth child at her birthing center. The experience was amazing!!!! I was worried that I would not get there in time. I first called her when I went into labor. I made sure that I followed the directions that Ashley gave me prior to labor. I made sure to labor at home as long as I could (8 hours). When my water broke, I called her and communicated with her about what the next plan of action would be. Shortly after, she told me to be on my way. I gave birth to my baby girl 3 hours after showing up at the birthing center! I am forever grateful for Ashley and her birthing team (Nayo, Luce and Tequila)!!! If you are looking for a midwife who has your best interest at heart, please contact Ashley Greene at Serenity! She will welcome you with open arms. Just know that communication is key!!! If you hired her, just know that she will not lead you astray and will do whatever she can to make sure that your birth goes as smoothly as possible. I said all of this to say, if you know someone or if you are pregnant or just need a well woman's exam, contact Serenity and Ashley will get you taken care of!!!!! read more

I am writing to formally express my profound disappointment and serious concern regarding the care, or lack thereof, provided by Ashly at Serenity Birthing Center during my sister's recent labor and delivery experience. As both a direct witness and an advocate for my sister, I am deeply disturbed by the events that transpired under Ashly's supervision, which demonstrated not only a lack of professional judgment but also an alarming disregard for patient safety and emotional wellbeing. On Wednesday, October 8th at approximately 6:00 PM, my sister's water broke. When contacted, Ashly assured us that this was normal and advised her to labor at home for up to 12 hours. Given that this was my sister's first pregnancy, we remained cautious and went into the birthing center the following day to confirm that everything was progressing safely. At that visit, Ashly evaluated her, claimed everything was fine, and sent her home with instructions to take two Tylenol, two Benadryl, and "off the record," a glass of red wine to help her rest. Advice that was unprofessional at best, and at worst, medically inappropriate. The next morning, my sister was in active labor, following all instructions Ashly had provided, including tracking contractions and walking as much as possible. Once she reached the 4-1-1 pattern that Ashly had advised as the appropriate time to come in, we immediately contacted her. Throughout this process, we remained in constant communication via phone and the patient portal. While in route to the birthing center, Ashly called to say she had multiple patients in labor and implied that it would not matter whether my sister continued laboring at home or at the center. Despite the fact that her water had been broken for over 36 hours at this point and her contractions were both intense and close together. My sister was clearly in need of immediate professional support and a safe environment in which to deliver her baby. Upon arrival, we discovered that the gate was locked. We attempted to reach Ashly multiple times via call and text. When she finally responded, she said she would arrive in about an hour and advised us to walk in a nearby park. At that time, my sister was in excruciating pain and barely able to stand...let alone walk. Despite this, we waited as instructed, walking up and down the roadside in the HEAT while my sister suffered visibly. After 90 minutes, with still no sign of Ashly, I called again. She claimed there had been a miscommunication. She then stated she had no idea we were there or that she was in labor...and said she would now arrive in another 40 minutes. This level of neglect is unconscionable. At this point, it was clear that Ashly was not taking the situation seriously, nor was she acting with any urgency or compassion. We had no choice but to transport my sister to the nearest hospital for immediate care, as the baby was coming... Despite Ashly including Baylor Scott & White in the birth plan, she directed us instead to a hospital in Mansfield, 30 min. away...an inexplicable and dangerous detour, especially considering the state my sister was in. We chose to proceed to the closer Baylor Scott & White facility. Upon arrival, the hospital team acted quickly to stabilize both my sister and her baby. When they reached out to Ashly for medical records, she failed to respond. We continued to attempt contact via text and phone calls, and she ignored every attempt. This behavior is not only unethical but also potentially life-threatening. My sister had been in active labor with ruptured membranes for well over 36 hours and had been left completely unsupported. As a result of this negligence, both she and her newborn developed infections and fevers, among other complications I will not detail here out of respect for their privacy. The medical team at the hospital was shocked and appalled that a licensed midwife would allow a patient to go unmonitored for so long under such high-risk conditions. Their prompt and professional care is the only reason my sister and her baby are now expected to make a full recovery. Ashly's behavior was inexcusable. She failed to uphold even the most basic standards of care and showed an alarming lack of empathy, responsibility, and professionalism. Her actions. Particularly her refusal to provide timely support, communicate effectively, or share medical records. This could have led to a tragedy. She must be held accountable for the trauma and suffering she caused, and she unquestionably owes my sister a direct and sincere apology. Families entrust midwives and birthing centers with their lives during one of the most vulnerable moments they will ever experience. Ashly violated that trust. I sincerely hope that Serenity Birthing Center takes this matter seriously and takes appropriate action to ensure this never happens again. read more
