I believe I was around 20 weeks or so when I found Aeryka's website. I'd miscarried 3 months prior to finding out I was pregnant again, so suffice to say, I was completely terrified of 'doing anything wrong' this time around. From the moment of our initial consultation, I finally felt a wave of peace for the first time. I didn't know much about doulas, I just knew I wanted/needed someone knowledgeable to be on this journey with me. Every random question or concern, I could count on Aeryka. Going into labor, I can honestly say I wasn't nervous at all knowing she would be beside me. She not only helped me birth my baby boy, but also a new me (the latter being more painful, in my opinion lol). Through Thick and Thin is the most apt name as she literally has been there for me, pre and postpartum, in so many ways. I'd do it all over again with her in a heartbeat.

I could not recommend Through Thick and Thin Doula Services enough! Having Aeryka as our doula was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She supported me and my husband as we nervously became first time parents. Her knowledge and expertise helped me through several pregnancy and postpartum complications. I don’t think I could have trusted another doula with my life(literally). She helped us to let go of the fear and lean into the joy. We are forever grateful!

I trusted Aeryka With my second child a totally different experience from my first. As a father I know most times we feel on the outside looking in but she made sure that I felt totally involved in the process from beginning to end. Aeryka has a real knack for making you feel comfortable, seen, and informed about every piece of the birthing process from start to the first couple days after the child is born. She still checks up on my little one to this day and it’s small things like that, that solidifies why Aeryka will deliver all my kids here after. 10/10

Aeryka is nothing short of incredible! She was an absolute blessing during my pregnancy and birth journey. At 37 years old, delivering our third child after a 16 year age gap, felt both exciting and nerve-wracking, but Aeryka was there every step of the way. Aeryka's ability to advocate for my husband and I was outstanding. She truly listened to our concerns, fears, and wishes, ensuring that our birth experience was tailored to our preferences. Her knowledge and support made us feel empowered and confident. When things got a little rocky and we had to opt for a cesarean section, Aeryka's guidance and explanations were a lifeline. She helped us understand our options, easing our anxieties during a challenging moment. Her calm and reassuring presence made all the difference. What sets Aeryka apart is her dedication to building a supportive community. She doesn't just provide care during pregnancy and birth; she creates a network of like-minded parents who can share experiences and offer support. This sense of community has been invaluable to us. Aeryka, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there for us on this incredible journey. You are more than a doula; you are a true guardian angel. We are forever grateful for your unwavering support and guidance. If you're searching for a doula who genuinely cares about your birth experience, look no further than Aeryka. She's simply the best!

I can't begin to express how grateful I am for the incredible support and care I received from Doula Aeryka throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period. She truly was my guardian angel on this journey. From the very first meeting, Aeryka's warm and compassionate nature put me at ease. She listened attentively to my concerns, hopes, and fears, providing not only emotional support but also invaluable guidance on prenatal health and preparation. Her knowledge and expertise were evident in every interaction, making me feel confident and informed. During labor and delivery, Aeryka was an unwavering source of strength and comfort. Her presence alone was reassuring, and her calming words and encouragement were a lifeline during those intense moments. She advocated for my birthing preferences with care and respect, ensuring that my experience was as positive as possible. But Aeryka's support didn't stop there. In the postpartum period, she continued to be a pillar of support. Her visits and check-ins were a source of comfort during the challenging early days of motherhood. She provided guidance on breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, and self-care, ensuring I felt confident and empowered in my new role. Aeryka's dedication to her clients is unparalleled. She goes above and beyond, always making herself available when needed, answering countless questions, and providing resources and referrals when necessary. Her passion for her work shines through in everything she does. In Aeryka, I found not just a skilled and knowledgeable doula but also a compassionate and genuine friend. She played a pivotal role in making my pregnancy and postpartum journey a positive and empowering one. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional doula care. Aeryka, thank you for being the guiding light on this incredible journey!
