“After birth there’s a sacred window of time. A time for complete rejuvenation of a woman’s physical, mental and spiritual health. A time for deep extended bonding with her newborn. The first 42 days set the stage for her next 42 years.”

  • 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. She educated us on new positions that advanced our labor succesfully and resulted in the fullfillment of our birth plan. Our child is now three months old and looking back, we are tremendously grateful for Ariana's role in our birth experience. We look forward to Ariana being present for everytime our family grows and cannot recommend her enough!

  • Ariana is an amazing doula; she is kind, warm, nurturing and healing! Because of timing I could only have her as my postpartum doula, and she was absolutely a god send. Her cooking, company and massages were exactly what I needed. Ariana is a loving presence who truly cares and loves what she does. Her passion coupled with her generous personality makes for an amazing doula! I loved working with Ariana for the first six weeks postpartum, and I am so glad that if I need more, I can reach out and she will be there to help me. I cannot recommend Ariana more for a postpartum Ayurvedic doula!

    -Kathryn

i’d be so honored to work with you.
