Experience and Certifications:
“I cannot recommend Ariela highly enough! She was an absolute lifesaver for our family during those first few weeks postpartum, especially as I was recovering from a C-section. From the very first night, her calm presence, deep knowledge, and unwavering support made all the difference. Ariela handled overnight care with such grace and attentiveness, allowing me to get the rest I so desperately needed to heal. She was incredibly gentle and nurturing with our baby, and her experience was evident in the way she soothed, fed, and cared for him. Every morning, she would provide thoughtful updates on how the night went, offering helpful tips and reassurance that eased so much of my new-parent anxiety. Beyond the physical support, Ariela was also an emotional rock. She always knew the right words to say and made me feel completely at ease, reminding me to give myself grace during recovery. Her presence in our home was warm, comforting, and truly invaluable. If you’re looking for a postpartum doula who is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in your well-being, Ariela is the one! We are so grateful for her care and would recommend her to any new parent in a heartbeat.” -Colleen M.
”Ariela was an absolute Godsend to our family. I had a rough delivery and recovery. Ariela brought a true sense of calm into our house from the first moment she arrived. Her encouragement and advice has been invaluable to us. I can’t explain the sense of relief my husband and I both experienced knowing she was caring for our baby and we could rest. We wouldn’t have made it without her! I can’t recommend her more!” -Elizabeth W.
