I hired Shayvonne as a doula, and it was the best decision I made. While my husband was extremely attentive and a wonderful support during labor, Shayvonne provided effective interventions for pain management and also gave my husband an opportunity to rest so he could have energy post delivery. Throughout the whole process, Shayvonne helped me to stay calm and hopeful. When I was too tired to voice my needs or wanted to give up, she quickly picked up on it and provided the encouragement and motivation I needed. There was no doubt in my mind that I could trust her completely to listen to me and advocate for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula.

When I found out I was expecting, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. I knew I wanted support during my pregnancy and birth, but I wasn’t entirely sure what that would look like. After some research, I decided to hire a doula, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. From our first meeting, my doula was a calming presence. She not only helped me prepare emotionally for labor, but also educated me about my options, answered all my questions, and helped me feel more confident in my choices. During labor, she was a steady source of support, guiding me in each choice . Having a doula made my birth experience so much easier and lovely . I felt respected. Thank you for everything ??

Hi! I was born and raised in Peekskill, NY, and currently split my time between Westchester County and New Jersey. I’m a bi-racial birth worker, massage therapist and reiki practitioner ☺️ I’ve been a NYS licensed massage therapist for the past 7 years, and that work has helped me lay the foundation to how I like to approach my work as a birth worker. In my free time you’d likely catch me curled up with my kindle reading southern gothic horror or romance( I know they’re vastly different lol), journaling, and/or shuffling one of my tarot or oracle decks. My goal is to create a space where you can breathe deeply, trust yourself, and feel cared for every step of the way.

I don’t know how I would have navigated my pregnancy and birth without Alexa. I wish I had found her earlier in my pregnancy but she showed up at just the right time! From my very first massage with Alexa, she made me feel seen, heard, and cared for. She took the time to understand my fears and hopes, and she held space for me in a way that made a world of difference. During pregnancy, her massages were moments where I could finally exhale, feel safe, and reconnect with my body. During labor, she was my anchor, reminding me that I was capable, and this was MY birth. Alexa was a source of warmth, reassurance, and love through our most vulnerable moments. She massaged my very swollen legs and feet all night into the morning, helped me find comfortable positions, and encouraged me every step of the way. But it was during my birth that her presence became something I will never forget. I did not have an easy delivery but Alexa brought comfort when I felt scared, strength when I felt overwhelmed, and a sense of calm that grounded me through every contraction and every wave of emotion that came after. Her massages helped me feel human again when pregnancy felt heavy, and her support during labor helped me tap into a strength I didn’t know existed inside me. Alexa's presence gave me the confidence I needed to endure such an intense experience. I’ll forever be thankful for her support. I also loved having her in our home for our postpartum visit and sharing my beautiful boy with her. For any first-time mom, Alexa is an absolute gift. She gave us more than support, she gave us peace. I’ll treasure her role in our story forever.??

There is no sweeter, more genuine, warm, reliable doula than Angela Zago. Coming from someone like me who is very type A and typically always having a hard time trusting others, Angela Zago is everything ANYONE could ever want. Angela is an angel sent from above! I trusted her with my life and she’ll be the first I call when I find out I’m pregnant again. Angela is now family to us and we’re so blessed to have been connected with a woman like her.

October 2026

I had the privilege of working with Arlene as our Newborn Care Specialist following the birth of our second daughter, and she supported our family for twelve weeks in 2026. From the very beginning, Arlene provided an exceptional level of care, professionalism, and reassurance during a critical postpartum period. Her overnight support allowed my husband and me to get much-needed rest, knowing our daughter was in the hands of an experienced and compassionate professional. In addition to providing outstanding newborn care, Arlene consistently went above and beyond by washing bottles and pump parts, assisting with infant bathing, and helping maintain a calm and organized environment during those early weeks. With more than 27 years of experience, Arlene brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge to her work. Although I was already a second-time mother, I learned a tremendous amount from her. She was always patient, thoughtful, and generous with her expertise, answering countless questions and helping us navigate challenges with confidence. Whether troubleshooting early breastfeeding and latch concerns, sharing evidence-based resources, suggesting schedules and routines, or recommending products that better met our needs, her guidance was invaluable. What sets Arlene apart is her ability to provide expert recommendations without ever imposing her personal philosophy. She respects each family's unique parenting style and empowers parents to make informed decisions that feel right for them. Her approach is gentle, supportive, and highly effective. Beyond her professional qualifications, Arlene is a genuinely warm and caring person. The tenderness, respect, and affection she showed our daughter were truly remarkable. She quickly became a trusted member of our household, and her presence brought comfort and confidence during a time of significant transition. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Arlene Maynard to any family seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and exceptionally skilled Newborn Care Specialist. She has been one of the best investments we made during our postpartum journey, and I am deeply grateful for the care and support she provided to our family.

October 2026

We hired Arlene as our postpartum doula for four weeks after our son was born. As first-time parents, we valued Arlene's expertise and care. Not only did she show tremendous affection and care for our newborn she also shared really great insights and knowledge with us about everything from feeding (breast milk and formula) to bowel movements to growth spurts. We genuinely would've been lost without her, and we can't recommend her enough!
