Many paths rooted in one belief,
Hi I’m Ari,
I’ve always found myself existing in the intersection of creativity and community.
And within this space, the questions that drive me to connect are:
Why are we here? Individually, and collectively, what are we here to learn and offer each other?
And I say the following, knowing that my role is ever-evolving,
I’m here to support wholeness —
In the birth space. In your artistry. In your experience of life.
Doula Support
Birth, by nature, is a creative and sacred experience.
I approach my support with tools to promote intuition, connection, and a confidence in who you are and what you are capable of.

A Poem I Return To…
Well, there is time left --
fields everywhere invite you into them.
And who will care, who will chide you if you wander away
from wherever you are, to look for your soul?
Quickly, then, get up, put on your coat, leave your desk!
To put one's foot into the door of the grass, which is
the mystery, which is death as well as life, and
not be afraid!
To set one's foot in the door of death, and be overcome
with amazement!
To sit down in front of the weeds, and imagine
god the ten-fingered, sailing out of his house of straw,
nodding this way and that way, to the flowers of the
present hour,
to the song falling out of the mockingbird's pink mouth,
to the tippets of the honeysuckle, that have opened
in the night
To sit down, like a weed among weeds, and rustle in the wind!
Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?
While the soul, after all, is only a window,
and the opening of the window no more difficult
than the wakening from a little sleep.
- Mary Oliver
