Testimonial for Ariella Silverstein-Tapp
Words cannot explain what Ariella did for our family. We called her during an emergency induction about 12 hours in, assuming all hope was lost and that the birth plan would just fly out the window. Between pushy medical staff and contractions that kept getting harder, we felt like we were losing control. She jumped right in, asking us the most important questions, telling us what was real and what was imagined, and showing us how to be our own advocates. My daughter-in-law was a first-time mom determined to have an unmedicated birth, and Pitocin contractions are relentless. Ariella talked us through it moment by moment, showing us how to move, how to breathe, and how to press into every contraction. Her calm never wavered, even when the pain was at its hardest. She gave my daughter-in-law the one thing no one else could: the belief that she was strong enough to do this. Watching her find her power is something our family will carry forever. Ariella, we are forever grateful.
