What We Do

Our mission

Arrow empowers families in every step of the parenthood path through professional support, innovative education and investing in improving families’ lives worldwide. 

Our Team

Tara Campbell Lussier

Tara is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Arrow. Before Arrow, Tara ran a vibrant practice as a certified doula in the DC area for nearly twelve years that saw hundreds of births. Tara was also a birth assistant while studying midwifery before being called to do Arrow. Tara holds a B.S. from East Carolina University and a Certificate in Integrative Nutrition from Columbia University, although nothing prepared her more for leading Arrow than the families and births she supported and birthing her own four babies, including IVF twins and two VBACs. When she’s not doing all things Arrow you can find her carting her kids around town, running, or planning a trip. Tara views her entrepreneurialism as an opportunity for positive impact that's much needed in our world.

Mari Stutzman Smith

Mari is the Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Arrow. For over a decade, Mari ran a busy doula practice in the metro DC area where she supported over 300 families as a certified doula. Linking her career of helping families, a passion for applied technology and a family heritage of entrepreneurialism, Mari leads the design for Arrow's products and services. Mari holds a B.S. in Marketing from George Mason University's School of Business. When she's not running Arrow, you can find her dancing to hip-hop in her kitchen, hiking somewhere outdoors and most certainly hanging with the loves of her life, her three wild kiddos + supportive hubby. Mari believes deeply in the mission of Arrow, to support families during their parenthood journey while simultaneously making a positive impact on maternal health worldwide.
