Ari is an incredible doula and a true advocate for her clients. I hired them to help me prepare for a VBAC, and her support was invaluable. They are a wealth of knowledge and helped us navigate everything from birth plans to breathing techniques.
Working with Ari for my second birth was the best decision I could have made. After having a C-section with my first, I was determined to prepare for a VBAC this time around. From our very first meeting, Ari truly listened to my wishes and made me feel heard. She meticulously reviewed every piece of information with me, helping us build a birth plan that felt authentic to my goals.
We met several times prenatally to practice movement, positioning, and breathing techniques. When medical reasons required me to be induced, Ari didn't miss a beat—she helped me pivot and prepare for every possible scenario. Throughout a long induction, Ari provided unwavering support both virtually and in person.
Even though I ultimately had a second C-section, the experience was night and day compared to my first. Because of Ari’s preparation, clear communication, and deep knowledge, I felt prepared and empowered to advocate for myself the entire time. Her positive and calm energy is infectious, and the postpartum visit was so deeply appreciated. I also love that Ari offers a sliding scale to keep her vital services accessible to the communities she serves. I cannot recommend Ari enough!
