Real Stories From Real Families

---

 I decided after being 5 months pregnant with fraternal twin boys that I was going to need support. At the time, Ariel the Doula, was working alongside the obgyn when she agreed to provide doula support services.  She was in attendance at my weekly appointments due to my pregnancy being high risk. That was so comforting and helpful because that allowed for me, Ariel being the doula and doctor to stay on one accord throughout the rest of pregnancy and birth. We also throughout discussed the birthing plan and made changes along the way up until birth of the twins. Labor and delivery day finally arrived and once again, Ariel meet me at the hospital and provided support during the labor process. Ariel also provided photography services and took pictures during labor delivery to capture those precious moments of the twins being born. Ariel stayed in the hospital until it was no longer allowed as I was preparing to be released. Ariel reassured that me and the twins made it home safely from birth. Two weeks later postpartum, I did experience complications to where I had to be submitted to the hospital for one day. With Ariel's ongoing support during the postpartum phase, she reassured me during that hospital day stay as well as looked after the twins while being in the hospital. To this very day, I am still blessed and with much gratitude that my first experience ever with a Doula was with Ariel. Her reassurance made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. She also still keeps on touch with me and the twins as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for doula services! 

Ariel helped us as our night nanny after both of our kids were born.  I can’t begin to say enough wonderful things about how much she helped us during our early post partum period. 

From the first time that we met Ariel, we could tell just how loving that she was.  We felt that she was there to really help my wife recover after two difficult pregnancies and C- sections.  

She would come into our home with so much love and warmth and confidence that we never once doubted that our babies were in the best hands. 

She always understood exactly what we needed when she would come over…. Whether that be to chat for a few minutes, laugh a little or for her to take over immediately and send us to bed.  

Ariel’s help made us better parents.  Getting really good sleep a few nights a week changed the entire newborn experience for us and allowed us to love each other and our babies  so much more.  

It felt like she became a part of our family but even more than that we never wanted her to leave.  

We have referred her to many of our friends and I could not give a higher recommendation for Ariel. I would be happy to discuss with anyone looking for doula or night nanny help. 

I hired Ariel as my doula for the birth of my first child. I had no idea what I was doing or what to look for in a doula but as soon as I met Ariel I immediately felt comfortable like I was talking to an old friend. Birth is such an intimate and vulnerable experience and I wanted someone who I felt comfortable with and Ariel was absolutely that! She fit in so well with my partner and mom, and the three worked seamlessly together to make my birth as smooth as possible. I felt at ease having Ariel there to guide me through things. She has a very calm presence. I had told everyone present for my birth that I didn’t want pictures and the thing I appreciate most about what Ariel did for me, is that she ignored what I said and took pictures anyways. Those are now cherished memories that I wouldn’t have had if she hadn’t known deep down that I would want to look back and have those pictures. I would absolutely recommend Ariel as a doula and I would not hesitate to use her again! Thank you so much Ariel!!  

Ariel is absolutely amazing! She was with us for the first 3 months of our baby’s life, and it was truly amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a night nanny. She was so wonderful with our baby girl and was also such an incredible resource to us parents as we navigated the unknown. This was one of the best things we did for not only our baby but for ourselves. She helped us so much in those early months and we will absolutely be hiring her again when another baby joins us! 

We used Ariel as a night Doula on a weekly basis with our newborn. We immediately felt at ease with her as she’s clearly a baby whisperer and so easy to get along with! She gave us some much needed reprieve at night and we are so grateful for her loving and helpful personality! I highly recommend Ariel to all of my new mama friends, she’s the best.
