“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through birth.”

—Marcie Macari

Mother Blessing is an intimate celebration to help prepare an expectant mother for her birth journey. We shower the mama with love, support and encouragement. The act of birth is seen as a rite of passage for women, and this is meant to help a woman feel more mentally, physically and emotionally ready to give birth.
Placenta encapsulation is the practice of ingesting the placenta after it has been made into pills. I first steam the placenta with ginger, dehydrate them in a food grade dehydrator, grind the placenta into a powder, and encapsulate the powder into a pill for ingesting.

We are so thankful for Ariana! From the moment she entered our pregnancy journey she brought a calm, reassuing and empowering presence to our experience. Throughout our labor and delivery we felt Ariana in our corner, walking us through what was happening, expectations and laying out our decision options.
Calista
Ari was an integral part of my pregnancy. I could not have asked for a more loving or caring doula. She came to me, checked in via text and email, allowed me to check in whenever I needed to, and was the first person to arrive for my first birth, which was a homebirth. She, along with my husband, was my rock.
Emily Helbush
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.
