About me
Casey (Ashke) Marie Papp
Perinatal Guide
Birth Educator & Doula
Clinical Herbalist & Nutritionist
I am currently serving the Bloomington, Indiana community as a perinatal guide. I am a mother, educator, herbalist, nutritionist, and doula combining my expertise in these areas to serve and guide Bloomington families through this important time in their lives. I am dedicated to supporting women through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
After birthing my son at home, I felt a deep calling to help other women embrace the transformative power of pregnancy and birth. I bring a holistic and nurturing approach to my work, grounded in the values of informed consent, inclusivity, and compassionate care.
I believe that every family’s journey is unique, and I’m here to provide the support you need - whether that’s through birth education, emotional guidance, or simply holding space for you as you navigate your path. My goal is to empower you to make the choices that feel right for you, ensuring that you feel fully seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
I attended the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism from 2020-2022 and finished as a Clinical Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Flower Essence Practitioner. My doula training is through Birthing From Within. Birthing from Within's childbirth educator and doula training programs guide birth professionals in ways to help parents make an inventory of their beliefs, assumptions, and agreements.
I grew up in Bloomington and recently relocated after spending many years in Colorado. I am so excited to be back and serving the Bloomington, Indiana community in this way.
I am a queer cis-gendered woman of Indigenous and Hungarian descent, and value inclusivity, happily serving people of all backgrounds and the LGBTQ+ community.
