Hello friends! I have been doula-ing the Pacific Northwest since 2010 and am excited to bring my services to Tucson. As someone who has attended over 600 births, 56 post partum families and is a mother myself, I understand that every birth and family is unique and needs should be tailored to my clients personal goals. As a birth and postpartum doula trained in Ayurvedic traditions, I like to bring a holistic approach to my caregiving. Not only do my clients receive education around health and wellness in pregnancy, belly mapping for labor moves and partner centered coping techniques, they also get the pamper they deserve in post partum with massage and various broths for healing.

Ryah Jo is a treasure!! After a difficult labor and delivery, we knew we needed help. At first, I was a little hesitant when considering hiring a postpartum doula. But, after our initial zoom, my worries were quickly put to ease. Ryah was extremely patient and thorough, answering any and all questions while addressing concerns. She is knowledgeable and professional, but also has a lovely, calm, warm and friendly disposition. I was nervous on our first overnight, however, Ryah was such a gentle nurturing presence…a real natural with babies and an absolute blessing for us sleep-deprived parents!! Everything was logged, bottles were washed, laundry was folded—she even had breakfast waiting for me😇 Ryah helped my recovery go so much easier, even offering up tips and tricks making our parenting transition go so much more smoothly than expected! It went so well in fact, that we decided to hire her on for bi-weekly overnights. We were able to get the rest and support we needed while feeling peace of mind knowing our baby was in the best hands and was receiving the safest, most compassionate, loving care.

Starting the night I returned home from the hospital, Ryah was a night nanny for my baby girl for about 10 weeks. Ryah was encouraging, supportive, friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced. I appreciated how she tailored her support based on my goals, asked helpful questions, shared resources and information, and cooked delicious breakfast dishes as time allowed. She was very effective at soothing my baby and helping her sleep as much as possible at a time when she frequently struggled with uncomfortable gas and/or burps overnight. I enjoyed getting to know Ryah, greatly appreciated her help, and would definitely hire her again!
