Aya was an amazing doula I had a high-risk and highly complicated pregnancy. She never waivered providing 5 star support. She was neurdivergent friendly and full of suggestions. Me and my husband are both neurodiverse and she was cognicent of both our needs. She was open to changes in plans and kept tabs on us throughout or 37 hospital visits that resulted in a 6 week hospital stay and and early induction. Her post natal care was the best. She loved and cared for Arlo and helped me immensely when we had another hospital stay this time lasting 2 weeks and made sure Arlo was taken care of while we were busy with paperwork and hospital politics. I would reccomend Aya to any queer and neurodiverse client. These are the areas of care she excells at. We are so thankful to of had her as part of our pregnancy and post natal care team.
