Aja was one of the greatest blessings of my pregnancy and birth experience. As a first-time mom who wanted a natural, unmedicated birth but had fears about labor, finding the right doula felt incredibly important. After interviewing several doulas, we chose Aja because of her positive energy, calming presence, and deep experience supporting natural birth. From the moment we met her, we felt supported and understood. What began as a professional relationship quickly became much more meaningful. Aja is no longer just our doula. She will always be part of our family and our son’s life. Her support during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum periods was aligned with what I needed. During prenatal sessions, Aja used the Body Ready Method to help me prepare physically for labor while also helping me mentally and emotionally. We discussed my fears, birth plan expectations, and medical terminology so I could approach birth with confidence. A special part of preparation was hypnobirthing. Aja created a custom hypnobirthing audio track that I listened to almost daily, both before birth and during labor. It became a grounding tool during intense moments. She also led a guided breath session for my partner and me that helped us release tension and find calmness before welcoming our baby. During labor, Aja remained a steady, calming presence. She provided hands-on support with counterpressure and various positions, which helped me manage contractions. When I was exhausted and briefly considered an epidural, she reminded me of my goal and encouraged me to try other tools first. With her support, I delivered my son naturally without interventions. She also supported my partner so he felt confident and involved. Lastly, she helped with lactation support, resources, newborn care, and companionship during the early postpartum weeks. I truly cannot imagine this journey without her. We will absolutely want Aja by our side again if we have another child.

Aja was an amazing doula. She was always ready to support, answer questions, and help find solutions whenever I had pain or discomfort during pregnancy. It felt like I could reach out anytime and she would be there with thoughtful advice and reassurance.

During the birth she was incredibly supportive and calm, which made a huge difference. With her guidance and encouragement, I was able to have an unmedicated delivery. Her breathing reminders, massages, and different techniques during labor helped me manage the pain and stay focused through each stage.

I would definitely recommend Aja to anyone looking for a caring and supportive doula.

I am incredibly grateful to my birth doula, Aja, for guiding me through a 10-hour labor that ended in a smooth, normal delivery of my baby. She showed up for me within an hour and was equipped mentally and physically to make sure I am safe, I am heard and I reach my goal. From the very beginning of her arrival, she was a constant source of calm, strength, and reassurance. She supported me physically with continuous massages that eased the intensity of contractions, coached me through breathing techniques that kept me centered, and offered gentle words of motivation exactly when I needed them most. Her presence helped me stay focused, confident, and empowered throughout the entire process. I truly believe her care, experience, and unwavering support made all the difference in bringing my baby safely into the world. I cannot recommend her enough to any expecting parent looking for compassionate and skilled labor support.

Comparing my first delivery to my second one, I am so glad to have found Aja for my second delivery. She helped provide and practice stretches/exercises to do prior to delivery. Then during the delivery itself she helped encourage and guide me through the pain. I was skeptical about not getting an epidural because I'm pain-aversive but she remained very positive and guided me back to my breath with each contraction. I still can't believe I had a smooth delivery without an epidural or other pain meds. Aja had my wellbeing in mind and reminded me not to push when it was too early. When I finally did push, little Kai came out just 15 minutes later. My first delivery (without Aja) I had 3rd degree tears that made me bedridden for almost two months versus this delivery I only had a superficial tear. I'm recovering well now and able to play with my toddler within just a month. 

After delivery she continued to support and help provide valuable information about caring for the newborn and myself. She helped me gain more confidence in breastfeeding the baby while making sure I was in a comfortable position. Above all, Aja did an excellent job helping me feel comfortable and open to sharing. Thank you so much Aja for all the support these past 3 months!

We worked with Aja before, during, and after the birth of our first child, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We started working together early in my pregnancy, and in our time working together, she strengthened my confidence, as well as my physical and emotional preparedness for birth (and my husband's too). During labor, Aja provided all the support and encouragement I needed for what ended up being a quick, smooth, and completely unmedicated delivery. And since then, she has shown up for my baby, husband, and I during the newborn and postpartum period- with emotional and practical support that has been crucial for easing into our new life. She did all of this with such compassion, good humor, wisdom, knowledge, and experience, and we couldn't recommend her more!

I LOVED working with Aja. At first, I wasn't sure if having a doula made a difference but I wanted to give it a shot. I interviewed 4-5 doulas and my heart was set on Aja right from the get go. When I told her I had a tough time with breastfeeding my first child and was worried that it would be the same for my second, she immediately told me that we will start working on turning that around and making it positive this time and she did. I am two weeks postpartum and having her in my corner made such a difference. 
Even my birthing prep and the labor experience were made so much better with Aja's experience and guidance. She helped me understand pain management and manage it so easily. She also held a breath session for me as a part of my labor prep and that was enriching and brought out some past experiences I was holding onto. 
I am so glad I worked with Aja and would highly recommend her to any expecting mama.

I had the privilege of meeting Aja at a pivotal time in my 4th pregnancy. I knew I would need a different type of intentional support and my family and I agreed working with a Doula was the right choice for us. A month before delivery I met with Aja, she was warm, friendly, direct, and knowledgeable and I felt comfortable right away! Aja assessed what my needs were which led us to engage in powerful breath work and exercises that would be foundational to the birthing experience I was hoping for this time around. I went from having a big breeched baby to a big baby in the ready position and I was determined to use all of the tools Aja gave me to prepare my mind and body for the laboring process that I desperately wanted. I desired to be unmedicated (if able) and have a positive birth experience, different from previous induced labors. Thanks to Aja I was well prepared. She checked on me, held me accountable to my exercises, helped me process through tough moments, and was all around the best cheerleader. This I know prepared me well in such a short amount of time.

My Induction day was postponed twice and a few hours after the final call, my contractions came on strong and fast. Aja was on-call and ready, dropping everything to be by my side. Aja advocated for me in the hospital room. She held to my birth plan when the nurses in the room were not as attentive. She coached my breathing and integrated my family for additional support when appropriate and possible. She was a calming presence in tough moments after the baby was born. I believe so much of this beautiful final birthing experience was because of the partnership, support, trust, and gained friendship with Aja!

In the postpartum phase, she has supported and cared for me in various ways as well. I wish I was so lucky for my previous birthing experiences. I highly recommend her services and praise her heart and passion for this special intimate work.  You will be in the best hands!

I had Aja as my doula as a first time mom and she was amazing. She made sure I was really comfortable and supported me throughout my pregnancy. She did timley check ins and I loved and her breathing exercises calmed me down. She is very caring, loving amd a very positive and patient person. My baby was breeched and she made sure I did all the exercises to try to turn her down. I ended up having a c section but she was there to comfort me and help me with whatever questions I had. I highly recommend her as doula. I would not have asked for someone else. She deserves to be get more recognition

Aja was a wonderful help during pregnancy and postpartum. She helped put techniques into place that really made a huge difference in my labor. We did multiple breath sessions to help me learn how to cope with an unmedicated birth along with exercises to help speed along labor. She was a wonderful support in the delivery room facilitating my position changes and supporting my partner when he needed a break or knowing when to change things around. I honestly don't think I would have had the birth of my dreams without her!
