I cannot recommend Arya highly enough- as our doula, she was a tremendous help and calming presence during our daughter’s birth.  With plans to have a natural birth at a birth center, at 42 weeks it was deemed too risky and we suddenly had to transfer care to a hospital, just as I was beginning contractions.  Arya was incredibly supportive through the whole experience, which ended in an emergency C-section after a full day of Pitocin.  She kept my husband fed, gave guidance on postures to help with contractions, or just provided greatly needed back rubs and words of encouragement.  Her prenatal yoga classes were also absolutely wonderful! 

While I did not know what a doula was when we first started birth classes, I was so glad Arya was ours for the birth of our daughter.  I probably wouldn’t have eaten a meal the whole time my wife was in labor if it weren’t for her, and she was such a big help to both of us through the whole experience. She provided much needed support to us first time parents, and we were so glad to have her there with us.

I want to thank you for inspiring me to pursue yoga. You were the one who gave me the gentle support I needed to trust my mind, heart and body. You gave me the confidence and built the fire within me to persevere. Your wisdom and courage embodies yoga, as you truly "live your yoga."

I still remember the loving way you opened your classes and how you cared about everyone in the room. Your smile so reflected your own joy.

I am forever grateful for Arya. I would highly recommend her. What is most intriguing to me is that she truly combines all her specialties (as she mentions) to provide the utmost care. She has so much knowledge which allows her to give genuine love and care to her patients. I initially sought her for one thing (mental health) but also ended up seeking her for health, physical and lactating support. Which all resulted to be excellent service by evidently seeing the results I desired.
