Testimonial for Ariel Ward

Ariel provided doula support during our pregnancy, labor, and birth. She is truly an expert at what she does and made me feel so supported and safe throughout. She was always prompt to answer any questions and often provided additional resources above and beyond (e.g. reading material, podcast recommendations, teas, etc.). She offered such attention to detail when helping us to develop our birth plan. The hospital was on divergence (i.e. “full”) the night I went into labor, and Ariel was available to us fairly quickly. Her presence and guidance during this time was invaluable! She held space for us and made our home so beautiful, calm, and peaceful with dimmed lights, candles, and music. She had the wisdom for when was the “right” time to go to the hospital. She ensured my continuity of care from home-to-hospital and never left my side! For instance, she helped me through my contractions in the car so that my husband could focus on driving us safely. She was also a resource for him too. We both felt very empowered and have never felt closer! With her help, I was able to have a fairly quick, unmedicated, and safe vaginal delivery. She made me feel strong, wise, and capable when delivering our son. Her support did not stop there! Postpartum, she helped me with reflecting, breastfeeding positions, engorgement tips, yoni steaming, and even nourishing me with delicious foods (being mindful of all my dietary restrictions). She is truly great at what she does and was a huge advocate for me throughout the entire process. This was the most beautiful and transformative moment of my life. Working with her was the best decision we could have made. We are so grateful! I highly recommend!
