Request to Meet Arielle

Arielle developed a passion for postpartum support shortly after the birth of her first daughter in 2015. She became keenly aware of the lack of support most new parents commonly face and took great comfort in the guidance she received from her postpartum doula. Arielle's role is to create a protected space for each family to work through concerns and questions without judgement, while sharing evidence based information. Arielle began supporting families in 2016, by 2019 she was a Certified Postpartum Doula and Breastfeeding Counselor. She has found it essential in her practice to continue to deepen her knowledge as information is always evolving.

Arielle was born and raised in NYC, and currently lives in Manhattan with her two kids and husband. Outside of supporting families and being a mother of two Arielle is a visual artist with a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Through her work and her own postpartum experience Arielle has found such power and strength in new parents and is honored to work with families during such an intimate part of life. She feels it is vital for new parents to feel supported in their own unique way, and as a doula she has had the incredible opportunity to guide families toward their own sense of confidence.

  • "We worked with Arielle when our daughter was born in December 2022. She was a very calming person to have in the house - a good combination of kind energy and practical advice. Arielle helped us feel more confident with all of the basics of parenting a newborn and she specifically helped me a lot with nursing when I was in some pain. She was also a really nice person to chat with and she was there for moral support. She was also very nice to our dog, who can be a lot to deal with!"

  • "I would highly recommend working with her! Arielle came to our home the first day my husband and I returned from the hospital and made that first strange day so much more manageable. What we appreciated immediately was Arielle's ability to both be highly present and helpful while also being wonderfully calm, allowing us to enjoy the tenderness of the moment... Over the next few weeks, Arielle came to our home several hours a week at various times of day. She helped us manage many sleep, feeding, and comfort issues -- notably saving the day and showing me how to pump! -- without ever overwhelming us. In addition to helping us learn and get used to things, Arielle stayed with our baby while we slept for a few hours or left the house for a quick outing. At such an early point, it was very comforting to have someone we trusted on many levels care for the baby. Arielle's non-judgmental, kind, and experienced presence was greatly appreciated, I hope everyone gets a chance to work with someone like her."

    Cassandra

  • "Arielle was so warm and pleasant during our get to know each other call that I immediately realized she was exactly who I needed after giving birth—someone who makes you feel comfortable even in the tough moments. She supported us for six weeks, helping with breastfeeding, organizing the house, and preparing meals. She was patient, attentive, and great with our baby. As first-time parents, we were very anxious, but Arielle’s help made us feel much more relaxed."

    Viktoriia

  • "Arielle worked with me and my partner when we welcomed our first baby home in April 2023. During her sessions in our apartment, Arielle helped us master the basics, from bathing to tying a baby wrap. She offered a nonjudgmental ear and invaluable feedback as my partner and I asked questions about feeding, sleeping, swaddling — you name it. Arielle even watched our baby so that my partner and I could take a nap, which was a huge gift to two exhausted new parents. We loved having her on our team in those early days, someone who was there to help in any way she could. I cannot recommend her enough!"

    Christine

  • "Arielle was a critical part of our team leading up to and after the birth of our baby. She was thoughtful, available when we needed her most, a great communicator, flexible, kind, supportive, and a just a joy to talk with. Ariel mostly helped us during the day time, but also was able to help during a few nights during the first couple weeks when we really needed sleep and help. She walked in to our house and immediately started setting up systems, problem solving, helping me physcially when I was limited, and helping us find sustainable ways to care for our baby and ourselves. We credit her with helping us build confidence and stay sane those first few weeks. We are so grateful for her!"

    Kristin

  • "Arielle is a godsend. We started working with her upon returning home from the hospital and she was such a big support for us, especially me as a first-time mom. I had challenges breastfeeding and Arielle provided both practical guidance and, more importantly, moral support. She’s a close confident, wonderful listener, and provided a constant comfort to me during what was a fairly difficult transition to motherhood for me. My son adored her, and I cried multiple times leading up to the end of our time with her. I can’t think of a more nurturing or caring person to help a mom during a very vulnerable period of life."

    Kathy

  • "She truly has a keen, intuitive sense for what a new mother (and family) needs in terms of support as well as practical matters. From day one, she was so comfortable to be around during a vulnerable time, and I felt so cared for by her. She would prepare easy snacks as well as delicious meals for us - I learned so many healthy, incredible-tasting recipes from her! She would also give me advice on breastfeeding and pumping - she taught me how to actually use my pump when it seemed like a foreign object those first few crazy days! She was incredible with my son - he loved having her around and would always fall asleep cozily in her arms because he was so relaxed around her. She also helped accompany me on errands with my son - physical therapy visits, shopping trips, and even just to get out and take walks and get some fresh air. She was one of the very few people my (very particular) husband would trust around the baby and in our home, trusting her instincts and expertise, and he still comments about how grateful he is that she was there for me during that time, and that his only regret was that we didn't have her full-time!"

  • "Arielle joined our family when my son was about 8 weeks old. We completely struck gold when we found her. Having Arielle's support and care through the early months of my son's life was not only the biggest life saver, it completely changed my entire experience while on leave. Arielle has a warm presence that calms a room, and assures you that everything is going to be okay. The crazy gets taken down a notch when Arielle is around. She is knowledgable, kind and just a really lovely human being. I had been having a hard time managing with my husband being back at work, and caring for my son at a time when we were having difficulty nursing, and a really hard time getting him to sleep. In came Arielle. She is like the baby whisperer! She took the time to get to know me, my baby, my husband (our cats!), and really provided care that she knew would be most valuable to us. We wish we could have her with us forever!"

    Allison

  • "Arielle supported me and my family as a postpartum Doula for three months following the birth of our first child. Arielle exudes calm and the whole house would fall quiet as soon as she arrived. Arielle prepared wholesome meals and snacks for my husband and me (she stocked our freezer with delicious chili that I still think about), shopped for groceries, helped us with never ending laundry (we do not have a washer dryer so she went to the laundromat for us!), and easily soothed our baby so I could squeeze in a nap or yoga practice. Arielle helped with breast feeding, baby wearing (she has experience with a wide assortment of carriers - I have referred to her as a baby wearing expert), and countless other questions that arise for new mothers. Arielle is a great communicator - she would always check in to see when we need support for the next week, and would always text before coming over to see if we needed anything that she could pick up on her way. Arielle is a natural nuturer and we felt truly cared for by her during the exciting but very trying postpartum months."
