Meet our Atlanta team
Penny Gilchrist
Penny has been a Postpartum and Labor Doula in the Atlanta area for over 25 years. She received her Doula certification through the Cappa Doula Association and provided labor support in hospitals for 14 years.
She assists new moms with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, sleep schedules (with flexibility as babies aren’t robots or textbooks) soothing techniques, and so much more. She believes that no two babies are alike and always focuses on the needs of both baby AND mom. She loves helping parents feel confident about taking care of their babies. In addition to her at-home consults (pre and post baby’s arrival), she also offers private labor classes.
Penny lives in East Cobb, GA with her husband. She loves gardening, cooking, and most of all, spending time with her grandsons and family.
Ashley Gotlieb
Ashley Gotlieb is the newest partner at CircleMoms and a passionate advocate for moms navigating the fourth trimester. Originally from Miami, Ashley earned her Bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis and her MBA from the University of Miami. She began her career in consulting and corporate strategy but found her true calling after becoming a mom in 2022.
Introduced to CircleMoms by a college friend, Ashley quickly saw its potential to transform postpartum support. She partnered with postpartum doula Penny Gilchrist to launch the first Atlanta Circle, creating a welcoming space for local moms to connect and thrive. Now based in Brookhaven, Ashley lives with her husband, JJ, their three-year-old daughter, Lenny, and their dog, Doodles. She’s also deeply involved in Atlanta’s Jewish community and loves helping moms build their own village of support.
