Ariana is a lifesaver! (or in this case a birth saver!) Since I started working with Ariana in the second half of my pregnancy, she was there for me through all the ups and downs. She was there to encourage me when I felt overwhelmed and able to offer advice when I felt confused about how to address different pregnancy challenges. She and her friend Katya (also a doula) also performed an amazing mother blessing ceremony for my husband and I. The ceremony brought me so much peace and joy leading up to my birth.
Now for the birth itself. Ariana was a true birth saver! My husband and I chose to do a homebirth for our son, who is also our first child. In doing a homebirth for our first birth, it was so helpful to have Ariana's wisdom and experience from the many birth's she has attended. I had some challenges arise during my birth as well that I truly don't know how we would have navigated without her. Did I mention she also gives amazing massages? Her gentle, loving precense was not only grounding for me but for my husband as well. With Ariana helping us navigate unfamiliar aspects of the birth process, my husband felt free to support me in ways he knew best. All in all, Ariana was an amazing source of support and joy for my pregnancy and our son's homebirth. Thanks, Ari!
