Ariel J. | Birth Doula in Philadelphia, PA

Faith+Seed Doula Care

    Practice overview

    Find me on Facebook (Faith+Seed Doula Care) or Instagram @faithseeddoula. My name is Ariel, I'm a doula and owner of Faith+Seed Doula Care. I launched my doula practice last year in 2021 and have watched this journey be a blessing every step of the way. Each client I have worked with has made me more empathetic, more patient, a better listener, stronger, more resilient! Birthwork is my passion and I'm honored to be sharing in the joys and challenges women experience as their families grow. Prior to doula care, I worked in early intervention, supporting families with babies and toddlers and the biggest takeaway was my passion to make this world a better place, by helping one mother/family at a time.

    Birth Doula Support
    I provide emotional and physical support to a woman and her partner during her labor and delivery. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for your comfort. I can also facilitate communication with your care provider to ensure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions regarding your baby’s birth. I will meet with you prior to your due date, in order to become acquainted with you and discuss your priorities, fears, and concerns. I will remain with you for one to two hours after the birth. I am available to answer questions about the birth or your baby, and I will schedule a postpartum meeting within 7 days of the birth.

      I had an awesome experience with Ariel. She checked in with me often. Hitting all pointers in my full care (mental, physical, emotional state). Ariel made her presence known with medical and health providers. Provided a full presence at labor and birth. She assured all my wants and needs were met to the best ability. Ariel’s presence allowed dad to focus on me and baby. Meaning he didn’t have to advocate for me consistently and remove his focus off of baby and I. It was important to him that he was able to provide us with his undivided attention. Overall best choice I’ve made for my pregnancy and birthing experience. My previous pregnancy and birthing experience was so harsh that I was afraid to go through with it naturally and unmedicated but I did it and had a healthy born baby in the process of everything. I wouldn’t change a thing about my doula experience with Ariel.

      I have known Ariel since her childhood. Our families have worked together in service to women. I have served as a mentor to Ariel on her journey into healthcare and birth work. She is an excellent mentee, scholar, and doula. I am enjoying watching her career unfold.

      As a first time mom, I had a lot of questions and worries. Ariel guided me through those insecurities and helped me gain confidence. She is very supportive, flexible, professional, and knowledgeable. Ariel is a great listener and puts my wants and needs first. I enjoy our professional relationship and would choose to have Ariel as my doula again in the future.
