Hi! I’m Ariel. I am a postpartum fitness and nutrition coach. I am a certified Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist with a graduate degree in Exercise Science. I have been working in health and fitness for over 15years. I started my own business in 2021 after losing my job due to the pandemic. I am extremely passionate about working with postpartum women. My #1 goal when coaching women is to make them feel supported and understood. All too often women are sent home after giving birth with little to no information on how to properly rehab their bodies and their minds. We are left with losing our sense of self and not having anyone to help us find our way back. I not only help my clients meet their weight loss and body composition goals through nutrition and exercise, I offer emotional support, accountability, and encouragement. Losing my job was scary but it gave me the push to do what I went into health and fitness to do. I’m so happy to be a coach and mentor for postpartum women because you deserve support from someone who will truly listen and understand!

My name is Arlene Maynard and I draw upon 27 years of experience supporting families during the early days of parenthood as both a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula.One of the most valuable lessons I have learnt is the importance of individualized support. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse array of families, including 74 sets of twins, 4 sets of triplets, and 1 set of quads. Each family's dynamics presented unique challenges, and I have come to appreciate that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care. By actively listening and tailoring my support to meet their specific needs, I have been able to foster a nurturing environment that empowers parents and promotes the well-being of their newborns. My commitment to professional growth has led me to become a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, a Certified Postpartum Doula, a Cache certified Newborn Care Specialist, an Advanced NCS through the NCSA, a Certified Perinatal Behavior Coach, and I am trained in the RIE method as well the Direct Connect Nurture method. My CPR certification further demonstrates my dedication to ensuring a safe atmosphere for newborns. These experiences have enriched my ability to provide comprehensive care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of families. I find great fulfillment in witnessing families gain confidence in their parenting skills and strive to create a supportive environment where they can share concerns and celebrate milestones. Throughout my years as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, it has reinforced my belief in the transformative power of compassion, education, and community support. I am enthusiastic about gaining an opportunity to provide exceptional care for families as they navigate this rewarding yet challenging journey of welcoming a new life.

We used Arlene as our postpartum doula for the first six weeks after the birth of our son and we were very happy with her service. Not only was she very compassionate, but she was super knowledgeable. She actually helped to save my breastfeeding journey with her little tips and tricks.

Seeking help can feel intimidating and most think, “Do I really need to speak to a stranger about this problem?” Taking that first step though can help you to learn some strategies for a lifetime. Having been a social worker for over 25 years, my approach is an eclectic one. My practice includes working with people who have a history of perinatal issues, death/dying, DV, and substance use. I work with people from the ages of 4 through seniors.

Since having my son last year, I can totally relate to everything there is to know about pregnancy, birth, postpartum and transitioning into becoming new parents. I will use my knowledge and expertise to help guide you and your family through this new journey. I like to be organized, have a schedule, plan or even just one goal for the day. We would get it done before we start something new! Trust me, it will keep your mind at ease. You will have someone to look up to for questions/ concerns and who will guide you during the transition of parenthood.

I don't know how I would have gotten through the trenches of postpartum without Amanda. After dealing with PPD after the birth of my first daughter and falling pregnancy shortly after with my second daughter, Amanda helped me find myself again after being in a very dark place. I can't recommend her enough. Amanda helped me find balance in my life again after having 2 under 2 and helped me finally enjoy motherhood. Amanda is wonderful with babies and children and is a pleasure to be around. My girls absolutely love her and I cannot recommend her and only sunshine postpartum doula services enough.

My husband and I worked with Jennifer the last trimester of my pregnancy. She always made herself accessible for any questions, and we felt very well supported by her. Jennifer was extremely thorough, timely, and compassionate. She was a master at feeding us information at the right time as not to overwhelm us. My husband and I wound up taking a 6 hour birth class a month before our due date, and we felt so well prepared from Jennifer, that the information in the birth class seemed repetitive from what Jennifer had already instilled in us! The day I went into labor, Jennifer was accesible every moment. She was truly an advocate for us and made us feel safe and connected. My husband and I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to any couple looking for doula. My met several, and Jennifer was truly the best of the best. Thank you Jennifer!!

Hello there !!! My name is Rita Buchanan and I am a birth Doula !! I have spent 17 years of my life working in Obstetrics and Gynecology. It was then when I realized my passion for birth work . Comforting , assisting and emotionally supporting woman and families has been very rewarding to me. As a former teen mom , now a mother of three and grandmother of two , I know how important it is to be a voice to those that feel unheard . To provide advocacy and hold space to those in need. To be apart of something much bigger than myself . This is my true calling . I love people and pray I get the chance to touch as many lives , through birth work and humanly possible. Every family I get to assist is my great joy ..
