Testimonial for Ariana DeFreitas-Fortier
We were on the fence about hiring a doula as we had an uncomplicated pregnancy and were planning to deliver in a hospital. We ultimately decided on hiring one, and specifically Ariana, because a friend had her at her delivery and said that she was very helpful. Hiring her was the best decision and ROI we made the entire pregnancy. Our labor and delivery ended up being longer and more complicated than expected, and I'm confident it would have been far more traumatic had Ariana not been a part of it. She joined us at our house as soon as labor picked up and stayed with us until we checked into our post-partum room 40+ hours later. Her coping techniques, logistics help, decoding of medical jargon and consultation in making decisions ended up making a huge, huge difference in our experience. She was calm and confident the entire time, which helped us be calmer and feel like we had someone knowledgeable that was advocating for us and there for anything. She helped us laugh during times that warranted laughter, stay positive and hopeful, and ultimately helped calm fears throughout the whole process. She became family in 48 hours and I cannot recommend her enough.
