Testimonial for Cari Aida
CARI: The doula who gave me big baby confidence! Cari has had big babies herself, and when it became clear I was destined for one too (even bigger than any of us realized), she was exactly the right person to remind me that I could do it. Her reassurance was grounding and genuine — the kind that actually sticks. We took her Ice Journey birth course together as a couple, and it genuinely prepared us for the roller coaster of labor and delivery. The coping mechanisms we learned carried us through. Cari is kind, patient, and knowledgeable, with a wealth of real stories that help you feel less alone in whatever you're facing. We're so glad she was part of our team.
THE TEAM: There's so much to figure out as first-time parents. Working with a team that ensures you have all the evidence-based information to make the right decision for you goes a long way. Without them, we wouldn't have known about our daughter's oral ties or to sign up for pelvic floor PT so far in advance — it books up fast. I learned to express colostrum because of them, and 9 pre-birth vials kept our baby from needing formula in the hospital. When I had trouble with milk production after a hemorrhage, they sourced donor milk from Tacoma to Seattle that same night. They give their time nearly around the clock and are deeply connected to the Seattle/Tacoma region — when we needed referrals, they had trusted professionals ready. In a medical world that doesn't always offer this compassion, it feels good to be seen and advocated for. Worth every penny — and when we have more children, we'll be rebooking without a second thought.
