Testimonial for Ariel Ward
It was an absolute pleasure having the opportunity to work with Ariel during my pregnancy, labour, and post partum period.
Ariel provided amazing resources throughout my pregnancy (books, articles, podcasts, one on one visits) that allowed me to feel informed and confident going into my labour. I always looked forward to our visits, where Ariel would walk us through how to make a birth plan over a cup of tea, and offer us alternative information from the traditional medical model for us to consider - which was so helpful and appreciated.
During my labour, Ariel provided the calm energy and supportive environment my partner and I needed to have an incredibly positive birthing experience! She helped us make decisions in the moment, and advocated for our wishes as we navigated the hospital experience. She also did a fantastic job documenting the birth with photos and video. Having Ariel on our team made me feel comforted and empowered, and I'm so grateful to have had her by my side!
After the birth of our baby, Ariel continued to provide much needed support in her post partum visits and with resources she provided. We feel so grateful to have had her wisdom, care, and support throughout the birthing journey of our first child, and look forward to working with her again for our second!
