T. 7 reviews 5 months ago Nyasia is incredibly down to earth and as caring as she is kind. She made my husband and I feel safe in the months leading up to labor and in the throws of birth. I'm incredibly grateful to have met her and plan to seek her out for my future pregnancies. She is a wealth of knowledge and you'd think unlimited resources (she has the best goodies). Her extensive background shows up in ways you wouldn't think you need until she comforts you with something from her tool kit. Outside of making me feel safe in birth she also made me feel empowered. She reassured my husband and I that come what may in the birthing room I can conquer it (and did). She whispered in my ear the probable course my labor would take and of course was right but because of her I was prepared. I watched her stand at my feet and whisper prayers for an emergency situation down the hall, care for my husband, and comfort me, all in a 7 minute span. She's extremely diligent with your privacy and will never impugn your or anyone's dignity. Out of the thousands of stories she could tell she only tells ones about herself and her personal experiences. Now after she'd supported us with, through and in labor as my doula I had the added blessing of her being my lactation consultant. She walked me through the first weeks of nursing, comforted me when my baby went on a nursing strike pulled all kinds of breastfeeding tools out of her infamous tote bag, suggested positions for both me and baby and is still educating and walking with us at almost 10 months post partum. Having her as our doula further encouraged me to start my path in being a birth worker and wouldn't you know, it was Nyasia that provided me the links to free doula training. We love her immensely.

Hello! I am a Christian Mother of 5, Nurse, Birth and Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator. I have had the honor and privilege of helping others on this journey into motherhood. This is not a privilege that I take lightly. I want every parent to know that their voice matters and help them to actualize the strength they have within. Over the years I have picked up many tools in my toolbox to help with this. I am CPR and NRP certified, BSN prepared Nurse, worked in Labor and Delivery as a nurse for over 10 years, taken Spinning Babies course, assisted in both home and hospital births, taken advanced vbac skills courses, Advanced fetal monitor training, among much more. I would love to be your doula and if you think we would be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Aris is an absolutely incredible doula. I recently gave birth to my first child and can honestly say that having Aris at my birth made what would have otherwise been a pretty traumatic experience, a very calm and empowering one. My birth plan had to pretty much go out the window due to unpredictable events during labor, and Aris was with me every step of the way, helping me feel like I was still in control when everything seemed like it was crumbling. She helped me reframe things in ways that my brain could understand at the time, and for that I am so grateful! She also advocated for me at multiple points to keep whatever aspects of my birth plan could still be safely implemented. She constantly anticipated my needs during the labor process and never once seemed tired despite staying up with us all throughout the night. She was also amazing at physically supporting me during labor with various counter-pressure and distracting sensation techniques. She taught my husband what to do as well, but honestly she was 1000x better at it and was so much stronger than him lol! My husband and I are both physicians who are relatively educated about the birth process, but she is truly a labor and delivery expert and taught us so much. Her experience as a labor and delivery nurse as well as a mother of five children makes her extremely qualified for this role. I cannot think of anyone I would recommend more if you are looking for a doula. If you are considering having a doula support you during your pregnancy/birth/postpartum, choose Aris -- you won't regret it! It was truly the best decision we made for my birth.

As a doula, I can: - encourage you to find and utilize your voice to advocate for yourself and your child -provide you with evidence-based information about pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period and walk you through creating a birth plan; I even create a formal PDF copy for you or I to take to the hospital after our thorough discussions! :) - provide physical and emotional support throughout our time together through appointments, phone, and text check ins -locate and connect you to local resources to help bridge needs, find compassionate and patient-centered care, and keep you up to date on local family events and programs -give tips on comfort during pregnancy, birth ball demonstrations, breastfeeding education and postpartum lactation (including pumping and flange fitting) text, phone, and in person support and assistance -play the role of a pregnancy companion; text me how your provider appointments went! I want to know! :) Yes, I want to know the gender, and YES I want to know when you’re feeling down and lonely! Feel comfortable telling me about the stress of returning to work or the stress of affording food this week. Let me be the person who says, “Okay, so how can I help?!” -and soooo much more! With personalized services geared towards education, perinatal medical advocacy, and physical and emotional preparation, and the goal of preparation for childbirth and caring for both your new baby and postpartum body. Although our birth plan may not go EXACTLY as planned, I do believe every birthing person should feel heard, respected, and in control of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. With that, I will always go the extra mile if that mile is within my reach, to ensure that happens for each of my client families. My birth experiences may not have gone exactly the way I imagined it would.. But the end result always came out even better than I could have dreamed! I am the lucky parent of 2 beautiful children who, as CLICHE as it is, are the absolute light of my life! I have a 3 year old son who melts hearts for a living (Ha! He knows he’s a little ham), and a very intelligent 11 year old daughter who loves art, kittens, and peace and quiet away from her brother (we are your typical American family you can say lol..). I have a wonderful significant other named Brandon who has helped me to be able to support my client families and community. Every time I take off for a birth, he says “Take your time with them, babe! Your clients need and deserve it!” Brandon also supported the growth of our family when we decided to introduce two cats to our household earlier this year! Felix is a super friendly kitty who gives strange, but satisfying human-like hugs and Doula (yes, I did think this was hilarious at the time lol) is a total sweetie who is always ready for love! Shortly after we adopted our final family member, Clyde, a super relaxed bearded dragon who quickly learned that if he acted EXTRA cute I would probably offer him an extra bug instead of making him eat ALL of his fruit and veggie salad. As IRONIC as it is, in the experiences of creating and bringing up my family, life has shaped me into a person with a passion in serving other people who are bringing up their own growing families. As someone with the experience of a teenage mother, I am transparent of the fact that pregnancy, birth, and parenting can be a scary road to navigate if you are doing it without support, guidance, or knowledge of “how all this works.” I have a passion for what I do because I believe every current and expecting mother deserves to have someone they can turn to without judgement and biases in a time that can be an excruciatingly vulnerable time for a lot of us.
