About this listen

Hi, welcome to Dounii Talks! Today, we’re joined by the incredible Ariel Amarkarian, full-spectrum doula, reproductive health educator, and lifelong advocate—for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to support people through birth.We dive into Ariella’s journey from community organizing and ethnic studies to birthwork, and how a transformative experience in Armenia led her to her calling. She opens up about what it feels like to be in the room during birth, why education and access matter, and how her cultural background shapes her approach to care.We also explore the emotional side of doula work, the challenges of making this support accessible, and the deep joy and purpose Ariella finds in every birth she attends. It’s heartfelt, real, and full of insight—don’t miss it.
