Hello, I have received my newborn certificate from The Newborn Training Academy. This program covers a range of topics such as newborn care, caring for preemies, managing multiples, feeding and nutrition, breastfeeding, sleep and sleep training, issues and ailments, postpartum care, and Covid-19 safety precautions. I am fully vaccinated and have received the Tdap Vaccination. I also have my CPR Certification and all these documents can be shown upon request. I prefer the use of Baby Connect for logging baby’s information however I can adapt to another source if preferred by parents.

Recent review

We worked with Kiki from May to July 2022, and she was amazing. She provided full 24/7 newborn and postpartum support, helping with nighttime care, feedings, diapering, soothing, and creating a structured sleep routine. Her attention to detail and thoughtful guidance made us feel confident as new parents. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that Kiki is not available as a long-term nanny. While her postpartum and newborn care is exceptional, she does not provide ongoing daily childcare beyond the support period, which we initially hoped for. Overall, Kiki is professional, trustworthy, and nurturing — a true asset to any family navigating the first months with a newborn.

Hi my name is Tracy. I am a certified postpartum doula and I have the highest respect for the abilities of new parents to educate themselves, to make their own choices, and to nurture their babies. My role is to support and facilitate the birth and postpartum experience you desire and to help smooth the bumps in the road that can accompany this wonderful and unpredictable life event. I come to birth work from a nanny background ; I spent more than 15 years growing and learning.. I was privileged to witness two births that changed my life and showed me the immense value of experienced support for women and families in the perinatal period. I am in the process of completing my first Birth Doula training with CAPPA and have finished my Postpartum doula training. ​ As a life-long learner I was confident that I could adapt the wide variety of training available in this field to serve my clients and continually improve myself and my services. I am consistently described by clients as calm, compassionate, and gentle. I have a true heart for parents and babies and a passion for my role as a caregiver. I recognize the importance of the whole spectrum of the perinatal period and am available to assist families from pregnancy and birth through breastfeeding, parenting and beyond.

Dedicated Birth and Postpartum Doula, while pursing a nursing degree during my labor and delivery clinical I knew this was my passion to provide compassionate support throughout the birthing process and postpartum. As a certified doula, I bring a wealth of 15 years experience and expertise to every birth and postpartum service, fostering a nurturing and informed environment for birthing individuals and their partners. My journey into birth work began with a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of childbirth and the importance of holistic support during this profound life event. With an open mind for hospital settings and pain relief when needed. I have supported numerous families through various birthing experiences, including hospital births and home births. Allowing couples to have a safe and informative space to relax and have their birth be just as intimate as they'd like. Natural hormones are key into relaxing mom! Music, sound and lighting plays a part in allowing that intimacy to play out. This sets the tone for a calm postpartum recovery onto healing and adaptation to a new routine. My approach to doula care is centered around empathy, education, and advocacy. I have worked seven years as an investigator for medical malpractice and seen what goes wrong when women aren’t allowed informed consent. I am committed to ensuring that each client feels empowered, informed, and respected as they navigate the journey of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My goal is to provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support, tailoring my services to meet the unique needs and preferences of each individual and family whether it be medicated or unmedicated. All women deserve the right to make informed decisions based on there individual needs. Also being a certified life coach for five years has gifted me with the skills to help families navigate through postpartum, new routines/added or changed. But most importantly to give clients the support they need to not feel alone or overwhelmed during these times. Normalizing chaos and not feeling okay, but empowering them to know that they can and will get through these times and they will adjust. While also providing them with lactation support whatever that may be for each families preference. With a warm and nurturing presence, coupled with a steadfast commitment to my clients, I strive to create a positive and empowering birth and postpartum experience that will be cherished for a lifetime. Whether providing emotional support during labor, advocating for informed decision-making, or offering guidance and or resources in the postpartum period, teaching newborn care and up keeping self care. I am forever honored to be a part of each family's unique journey into parenthood. I take great pride in working with woman giving them the care and support they need to trust their mind, body and soul.

She is an excellent advocate who is generous with her time and knowledge, ensuring that both the birthing and support parent were in a good position for the birth experience - before, during, and after. As first-time expecting parents there was a lot to learn even with regard to terminology, medical situations, and the outcomes that we wanted to achieve. Alisha's confidence makes you confident. She's great under pressure and remained communicative throughout our delivery. You can't control how things will unfold on the big day. While we had our best-case scenario planned out, things evolve and we were pressed to navigate changing circumstances when my water broke without any other signs of active labor. This put us on a countdown clock yet we remained calm, opted into certain interventions on our timeline, and were able to achieve the vaginal delivery as intended. We credit this to our preparation and real-time guidance with Alisha. Lastly, Alisha just has a great personality and treats you as a real friend. She genuinely cares about you as more than just clients and we looked forward to our time spent with her. We strongly recommend working with Alisha for any of the services that she offers!

Greetings, my name is Aisolen Marcial and I am a certified Full Spectrum Holistic Doula located in New York City area. I have minimal limits in supporting folks and their families, having done this work already for over 10 years. Birth & postpartum support is not a cookie-cutter stencil and should not be treated as such. I am a mom of 2 beautiful girls and enjoy traveling, plants and self-care.

Recent review

A Truly Exceptional Doula Experience Hiring Aisolen Marcial was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. From the moment we met her, we felt instantly at ease. Her calm presence, deep knowledge, and genuine care created a sense of trust and safety that carried us through every step of labor and delivery. Throughout our prenatal visits, Aisolen took the time to really understand our hopes, fears, and birth preferences. She offered evidence-based information without pressure and helped us feel empowered to make informed decisions. She was always just a text away when we had questions or needed support. During labor, Aisolen was our anchor. She brought such a peaceful energy into the room, offering physical comfort, emotional reassurance, and quiet encouragement exactly when we needed it. Whether it was helping with breathing techniques, massage, or just being a supportive presence, she anticipated our needs before we even voiced them. Even after the birth, she continued to check in with us and made sure we were adjusting well. Her postpartum support was incredibly helpful, and we felt like she truly cared about our wellbeing as a family. We can’t imagine going through this experience without her. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to supporting families, we wholeheartedly recommend Aisolen Marcial.

As a first-time mom, I can’t say enough good things about Briana. From the moment she walked in, she brought such a calm, confident energy that immediately put me at ease. She cared for my newborn baby boy like he was her own and was incredibly patient and gentle. She not only helped me understand my baby’s cues and sleep patterns, but also supported me through those overwhelming early weeks with so much compassion and knowledge. I always felt comfortable asking questions and truly learned so much from her. I’m beyond grateful for Briana’s care, professionalism, and genuine kindness. She made the transition into motherhood so much smoother. I’d recommend her to any new parent in a heartbeat! 💙

Recent review

Working with Olga Zinner and her team at YourCherish was one of the most meaningful and supportive choices we made during our pregnancy. From our first conversation, we felt deeply cared for — not just as clients, but as a family stepping into a life-changing moment. We received both birth doula support and photography services, and the care was seamless, soulful, and incredibly thoughtful. Olga brings a calm, grounded presence that helped us feel safe, supported, and emotionally anchored throughout labor. Her team was equally kind, professional, and attentive — responsive with communication, gentle in their presence, and beautifully in sync. The photos and video we received were beyond what we imagined — raw, emotional, and full of light. Every detail, from preparation to postpartum follow-up, felt personal and intentional. If you’re looking for support that is truly heart-led and high-quality — this is it. Olga and the YourCherish team hold space with deep respect, quiet strength, and so much love. We’re forever grateful.

K. was amazing! What I loved most about her was how prepared she was before our prenatal sessions. She brought me handouts, we went over so many details on how I envisioned my birth knowing that not everything will happen but giving me a sense of control. I had a wonderful birth thanks to her!

I had the pleasure of working with Tizzony as our overnight newborn care specialist, and she was truly exceptional. From the very first night, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and professionalism that made a world of difference during those exhausting early weeks. Tizzony was consistently punctual, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about newborn care. She handled every aspect of nighttime care with ease from soothing and feeding to tracking sleep patterns and offering helpful insights tailored to our baby’s needs. Her gentle approach and intuition were especially valuable, and she always prioritized the baby’s comfort and well-being. What stood out most was her warm, caring personality. She treated our baby with genuine affection and patience, and she made us feel supported and reassured. Her communication was clear and thoughtful; each morning she provided a detailed recap of the night so we always knew how things went. Thanks to her support, our household got the rest we needed, and our baby benefited from consistent, skilled care. I would highly recommend Tizzony to any family looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and compassionate overnight newborn care specialist. She was truly wonderful to work with.
