‘Compassion is our deepest nature. It arises from our interconnection with all things‘
All About Me
Who I Am
Hi, I'm Arielle! I'm so glad you're here!
I’m a Certified DONA International Doula with 13 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.
I believe birth is one of the most transformative experiences in a person’s life, and every family deserves to feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported throughout the journey. It is an incredible privilege to walk alongside families during this season, providing compassionate care that is rooted in trust, education, and evidence-based support.
For more than a decade, I’ve had the honor of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum transition. My background as a therapist and educator has profoundly shaped my approach to doula care. I understand that birth is not only a physical experience—it is emotional, relational, and deeply personal. I strive to create a calm, reassuring space where you feel safe asking questions, processing emotions, and making informed decisions that align with your values.
As both a birth and postpartum doula, I support families planning hospital births, birth center births, home births, inductions, medicated and unmedicated births, planned cesarean births, and VBACs. I specialize in helping clients prepare for labor with confidence through personalized education, comfort techniques, partner support, and practical guidance before, during, and after birth. My goal is never to direct your decisions, but to ensure you feel informed, empowered, and fully supported in whatever path your birth takes.
My experience also includes postpartum recovery, newborn care, infant feeding support, and helping families adjust to life with a new baby. Whether it’s your first child or you’re welcoming another little one into your family, I tailor my care to meet your unique needs with warmth, flexibility, and respect.
Families often describe my presence as calm, grounding, and reassuring. I believe that one of the greatest gifts I can offer is unwavering support—helping you feel confident in your instincts while creating space for your voice to remain at the center of your birth experience.
My hope is that when you look back on your journey, you remember not only the day your baby was born, but how supported, respected, and cared for you felt throughout it. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you welcome your newest family member into the world.
Support Services
Prenatal Visits
I take on a limited number of clients at any one time to ensure I can give you the full care and attention you deserve. In our Prenatal Visits, my goal is to reduce any stress, answer any questions, help formulate birth preferences, and explore coping and calming strategies and each visit allows me to dedicate my full focus to your body and your baby.
Birthing Guidance
With my Birthing Guidance, I offer unwavering support to you and your family before, during and after birth. I help with informing and creating a birth plan that aligns with your desires, basics of childbirth education, laboring positions, practicalities, coping strategies, and much more. I will stay in close contact for 2 weeks before your due date up until the birth of your baby in order to routinely check how you’re doing and step in with anything you might need.
Postpartum Support
Pregnancy, birth, and the early days of child rearing can be as overwhelming as they are magical. My role with my Postpartum Support service is to ensure you get the best information and care possible. Unlike many Doulas, my contract runs for the entire 3 month period after your baby is born. I focus on Parental Empowerment, Confidence Building, Lactation Support, and Postpartum Mental Health. The 4th trimester is the most beautiful but also can be challenging and new parents need the most support during this time as they blossom into their new roles. No matter when you need me, I will be there offering support.
I also offer more traditional services, like day/night infant care to help new parents rest and recover during the early postpartum period. I offer 6-12 hour packages for infant care support.

My Standard Package Includes; • 2 Prenatal Visits • Regular phone and text support from time of hire • 24/7 on call from weeks 37 until birth • Labor and Birth Support • 3 Postpartum Visits (either in person or virtual) • Continuing text and phone support throughout the first 3 months following the birth of your baby
However, just as no parenting journey is one-size-fits-all, I am able to tailor my services by adding on addition prenatal/postpartum visits if requested for a small fee.
I do not charge additional fees for long labors.

“Going through my first pregnancy alongside Arielle was such a blessing. Her compassion, support and knowledge base was invaluable to me (at all times of the day!) both pre and post pregnancy. Arielle empowers women in their journey of motherhood in a way that I truly believe is her life calling.” - Elizabeth D.
“Arielle is truly a magical doula. When I gave birth to my first born I had no idea what to expect. Arielle was by my side through the whole long labor (21 hours). She held my hand and guided me through the pain, rubbed my back and gave me heat pads too. I couldn't imagine going through birth without her. Her services are not limited to birth though. After birth she is a wealth of information and postpartum support. She is so kind and gentle, a genuine rock during the hardest time of a woman's life.” - Pamela I.
