During the time, Ayanna was my doula, I was very thankful for her. She is very knowledgeable in her practice, and keeps a professional composure. She is trust worthy, and was a huge help during my last trimester (when I met Ayanna). I am grateful for her during pre-labor, during labor, and postpartum. I still buy her yoni herbs, which I enjoy. It really helps with soreness and inflammation, which is due to coitus. I love that she provides brochures full of information about each product she promotes. I trust her products, as they are holistic and natural. She does not compromise her ethics, nor her core values.

Mrs. Ayanna was and is amazing! She found me on Facebook and offered me her doula services. She is knowledgeable, caring, and very respectful. From beginning to end she was a life saver for not only my unborn child but my family as well. Ayanna showed up at the labor and delivery with a smile and got to work making sure I was comfortable, proper meds and introduced herself to all doctors and nurses. My birth went smoothly with her assistance!!! She's my favorite!!!

Having Ayanna as my doula was hands down one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. I was a first time mom and there was so much that I was clueless about that she educated me on. She is very patient and she means business. You will definitely feel stronger and more knowledgeable about the changes occurring during pregnancy and after birth. I can't thank her enough for preparing me for motherhood.
