Welcome Ariana Riegel!
I’ve known Ariana for almost 4 years, through the entirety of building my business and truly identifying as a doula. While I was Program Director for the non-profit Doulas Care, Ariana wisely took advantage of the affordable birth doula class offerings through that organization. I was so excited that she was going to be entering into this amazing world of birth-work.
I knew she would be a natural! Ari has a warm and nurturing spirit. She joined a non-profit organization as a volunteer for an entire year out of college, just to be able to give back to her community. Ari was then hired by her organization in a coordinating position once her volunteer tenure was through. She is smart and fast on her toes, a great skill when dealing with unexpected situations, especially in a medical setting. She is careful and deliberate as well, she’s always very careful when talking about a problem she’s working through to make sure no confidential material is shared that shouldn’t be. These are all qualities that made me so sure that supporting her dream of being a birth worker would not be a waste of my time. I know Ari will be a blessing to any family that allows her to support them through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time.
Stay tuned, she will be introducing herself early in the New Year!
