Testimonial for Ari Eisen
Ari is a kind, experienced, and deeply knowledgable doula—exactly the person to help us welcome our first baby into this world. Their preparation and care were essential to our successful home birth.
We connected with Ari after several uncomfortably gendered childbirth education experiences, and we were immediately delighted by their affirming, compassionate approach. Our pre-delivery meetings were warm and very educational, and helped us to feel grounded, supported, and prepared. My partner's labor was long and painful and overwhelming; Ari's active in-person support for 18+ hours helped remind us both that labor was possible and purposeful. Ari made sure that I ate and rested the day of, and frequently checked in on my emotional well-being. They also managed communication with our mid-wife team so that my partner and I could remain fully present in the moment. Ari's stamina facilitating birth positions, guiding movements, and leading mantras almost felt super-human. Our birth experience would not have been the same without them. We're still in the haze of newborn parenting and likely years away from planning another birth—but we already know that we want Ari there with us again. We HIGHLY recommend Ari to other expectant parents!
