Testimonial for Ari Eisen
From our very first consultation call through the postpartum visit, Ari showed such thoughtfulness and sensitivity. She really listened to what kind of support my partner and I were looking for, and she made sure we got it.
During our prenatal visits, she shared tons of helpful information, but just as importantly, she took the time to really get to know us. We felt comfortable with her, which made a huge difference. She also offered practical advice for the pregnancy challenges that happened along the way.
I had a long stretch of prodromal labor, and Ari was amazing during that time—available by text or phone when we were in triage, and checking in every few days to make sure we knew she was available for us. We've heard about doulas who are strict about when their support "starts," and honestly, if that had been our experience, we wouldn't have gotten the care we really needed...birth just doesn't always work like that.
When labor finally kicked in for real (fast and furious!), Ari was everything you'd want in a doula—helping with position changes, encouraging me, advocating for what I wanted with the hospital team, and helping my partner feel confident and involved. And when we ended up needing a c-section, Ari continued to be such a steady presence. She supported my partner as he prepared to join me during the procedure, and then sat with me on the table after our baby was born, while the procedure finished. She refused to leave until she knew that all was okay in the recovery room.
We’re so grateful to have had Ari by our side through it all.
