I am a postpartum doula, lactation counselor and postpartum chef working in Brooklyn, Manhattan and sometimes Queens. I support mother's, birthing parents, and families through the first few weeks of the postpartum period.

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.

My name is Sandra Remy and I am a childbirth educator, doula, peer breastfeeding counselor, social worker, and proud mother of 4! I enjoy pulling from all of these roles and utilizing them to support my work with expectant mothers and their families. I believe that birth is a sacred process and should be treated as such. I also believe that having the birth experience that you desire takes preparation and intentional planning which is why I am a strong advocate for childbirth education. Having knowledge of the process of birth places you in a better position to advocate for yourself, baby, and family. It further develops your self-confidence and your confidence in your innate ability to give birth, and this is key to curating the birth experience you desire. If you are seeking someone who will: see you, hear you, respect your intellect and intuition, while also being compassionate, patient, and supportive of you as you prepare to birth you baby, then I encourage you to get in contact with me.
