Testimonial for Arielle Amenoff CPD (DONA), CBC
Arielle was a wonderful source of support earlier this year following the birth of my first baby, I would highly recommend working with her!
Arielle came to our home the first day my husband and I returned from the hospital and made that first strange day so much more manageable. What we appreciated immediately was Arielle's ability to both be highly present and helpful while also being wonderfully calm, allowing us to enjoy the tenderness of the moment. Arielle gave us the space to feel the newness of everything.
Over the next few weeks, Arielle came to our home several hours a week at various times of day. She helped us manage many sleep, feeding, and comfort issues -- notably saving the day and showing me how to pump! -- without ever overwhelming us. In addition to helping us learn and get used to things, Arielle stayed with our baby while we slept for a few hours or left the house for a quick outing. At such an early point, it was very comforting to have someone we trusted on many levels care for the baby.
Arielle's non-judgmental, kind, and experienced presence was greatly appreciated, I hope everyone gets a chance to work with someone like her.
