Arielle Eugene, a passionate, certified full spectrum doula, located in Louisville, KY, envisioned Ancient Roots as a sanctuary for families seeking a holistic approach to health and healing. Drawing inspiration from ancestral practices, Arielle recognized the profound impact that traditional wisdom can have on the well-being of both parents and children. With a deep commitment to fostering a nurturing environment, Arielle set out to create a space where families could reconnect with age-old practices that have stood the test of time. Arielle is a wife and mother of 6. Arielle and her family practice martial arts and love to travel and learn by way of homeschooling. Camping and the beach is her favorite pastime. She is also educated as a medical assistant, AA in Human Services, and BA in Theology.
