A&V Innovations
We’re Ashley Green and Veronica Simpkins, co-founders of A&V Innovations — educators, doulas, and community leaders who’ve spent years walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Through our work, we saw how often perinatal mood and anxiety challenges go unnoticed — not because professionals don’t care, but because they lack the right tools or confidence to start the conversation. That’s why we created this EPDS Quick Guide: to give birthworkers and healthcare providers a simple, compassionate framework for recognizing when a parent needs extra support, and how to respond with empathy and clarity. Our mission is to make informed, heart-centered care accessible for every professional — and every family.
