When Arden founded The Miscarriage Doula in 2020, she was a team of one and quickly learned that the need for miscarriage doulas was far greater than she could have ever imagined. So first, she brought Cassia on board, followed by Stephanie and Jay, each bringing different elements that felt needed in this space. With personal experience in first-trimester losses, second-trimester losses, recurrent pregnancy loss, secondary loss, pregnancy after loss, lactation after loss, and being on the NICU side of things -- our doulas bring the personable support mixed with professional knowledge on birth at all gestations.
Arden is a Certified Birth & Bereavement Doula, Trauma-Informed Care Provider, and a Certified Trauma Support Person that focuses on the grief and trauma associated with pregnancy loss and life after. Following her own infertility journey beginning in 2017 and two miscarriages that followed, Arden started The Miscarriage Doula, LLC as a resource and service for women who were struggling to find support and validation within their journey.
