Ashley Ochoa is a Northern California mompreneur, wife to her high school sweetheart, and mother to her three miracle children. She is based in Napa, California but has lived in numerous locations around the bay area. Spending her days as a full time mama, starting her own business has always been a passion of hers. We all know how trying motherhood can be, so our goal is to provide apparel and products to both mamas and babies, all while supporting spreading awareness to something near and dear to our heart.
For quite some time, Ashley has had the dream of reaching out to others in support and raising awareness to a pregnancy illness called Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). In all of her pregnancies, she suffered with this pregnancy condition. She was hospitalized, pressured to terminate her pregnancies and on the verge of death.
She is a Hyperemesis Gravidarum Survivor and an advocate for women who have suffered with this illness or are currently still enduring their fight. She is also a volunteer for Beyond Morning Sickness and The “Card Squad” with Helpher.org
