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.

I am beyond grateful for Sister Nadia and the guidance she gave me throughout my pregnancy journey. From the very beginning, she helped me navigate the physical and emotional changes with such calm wisdom and reassurance. One moment that truly stands out was when she helped me identify round ligament pain — something that initially worried me. Instead of feeling anxious, I felt informed and at ease because she took the time to explain what was happening in my body. Sister Nadia educated me deeply about physiological birth and empowered me to approach the idea of birthing at home with confidence rather than fear. Her knowledge isn’t just theoretical — it’s lived experience. Having free-birthed three babies herself, she speaks from a place of profound personal understanding. That authenticity made all the difference for me. She also prepared me for postpartum in ways I hadn’t even considered. From nourishing meals to intentional postpartum care, she helped me understand the importance of honoring that sacred recovery window. Because of her guidance, I didn’t just gain information — I gained confidence, clarity, and trust in my own body. If you are looking for someone who combines experience, education, and heartfelt support, Sister Nadia is truly a blessing. I am so thankful for the knowledge and empowerment I received through her care.

With years of experience and a deep commitment to exceptional newborn and postpartum care, I am a certified, fully insured, CPR and First Aid-certified, professional doula dedicated to providing an elevated level of support to growing families. It has been my privilege to serve countless families throughout my career, many of whom have welcomed me back for each of their children and graciously referred me to their family and friends. These enduring relationships are a reflection of the trust, consistency, and personalized care that define my practice. I believe that truly exceptional postpartum support extends far beyond newborn care. Every family deserves a calm, reassuring presence, thoughtful guidance, and the flexibility to adapt to their evolving needs. My approach is intuitive, discreet, and tailored to each family's unique routines, preferences, and parenting philosophy, allowing parents to recover, rest, and embrace this extraordinary season with confidence and peace of mind. My professional expertise is complemented by the invaluable perspective of raising four children of my own, including singletons and multiples born through both spontaneous vaginal deliveries and Cesarean birth. This combination of extensive hands-on experience and personal insight enables me to anticipate the needs of both parents and newborns with confidence, compassion, and exceptional attention to detail. Supporting families during this precious time is more than my profession—it is my calling. I consider it a true privilege to provide the highest standard of newborn and postpartum care, creating an environment where families feel nurtured, supported, and confident from the very beginning.

Hello! Hello! Most couples are looking for a positive environment where you feel respected, safe, and ready to welcome your new baby. I understand that as your doula I help set the tone and bring energy into your space that will be part of your family's blueprint forever. I have a compassionate, client-centered approach. I bring warmth, love, and extensive knowledge to each family as well as their providers. I bring strong advocacy skills while reducing fear and fostering confidence. I also provide lactation consultations and all modalities of massage including prenatal and postpartum.

Recent review

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)

Simone has been holding space for expecting and postpartum families for over 10 years. Birth has a powerful way of healing and transforming you, and her first birth did just that. The ability to have 2 empowered births the way she wanted, gave light to the need for advocacy, education and doula support amongst the birthing community, especially black families. Simone is a mother, doula, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, childbirth educator and infant sleep educator. She has been teaching and mentoring doulas along the way and excited to dive deeper into holding the hands of the next generation of birth workers.

Recent review

I cannot say enough good things about Simone as our night doula and lactation consultant. From the moment she entered our home, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and expertise that made an immediate difference in our postpartum experience. As a second-time mom navigating recovery, sleep deprivation, and feeding challenges, her presence was nothing short of a gift. She supported our entire family with such gentleness and professionalism. Her overnight care allowed us to get desperately needed rest, knowing our baby was in kind, capable hands. Her lactation guidance was equally invaluable. She offered evidence-based support with zero judgment—troubleshooting tummy issues, providing reassurance, and giving practical tools that worked. Thanks to her help, I went from overwhelmed and in pain to confident and empowered. I did not feel a bit of judgment when I chose to go from breastfeeding to formula due to my baby's tummy issues. She listened deeply, responded thoughtfully, and truly respected our parenting values. She didn’t just care for our baby—she cared for us. If you're looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also emotionally attuned and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Simone. She’s an absolute gem and a vital part of our early parenting story.

Hi my name is Curbeth Tappin founder of Embrace a New Love postpartum services. I am a postpartum doula with 13 years of experience, providing exceptional care to families during the perinatal period. My journey into this field was inspired by my upbringing in a household with a mother who was a midwife, where I witnessed the miracle of birth and recognized the need for more support for both the birthing parent and baby during the postpartum period. As a postpartum doula, I offer comprehensive support to new mothers, including lactation assistance and daily infant care such as feeding and bathing. When working overnight, I ensures the baby's sleep environment is safe and maintains a detailed journal of sleep and feeding patterns. Trained by DONA International, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to provide excellent care to both newborns and parents. My passion for postpartum care shines through in my dedication to helping families navigate this transformative time with comfort and confidence.

Recent review

Curbeth Tappin helped my family. Curbeth was the postpartum doula for my sister a few years before I got pregnant with my 4th child. My sister recommended that I hire her because of how much she helped her with her daughter. Curbeth came into my home after my son’s birth and had the nursery completely organized. She assisted me to acclimate the older children with the new baby. She allowed me to rest while she took care of my son. Although I had 3 other children this time breastfeeding was a bit of a struggle. Curbeth provided lactation support as well as emotional support, which I needed to get through that difficult period. She stayed and worked with my family for 3 month. A couple months later i found out I was pregnant with my 5th and last child. Curbeth returned and provided the same amazing support she provided the first time. Having 2 child under 2 years old was a very difficult, but Curbeth made this so much easier. Her patients and loving nature made her feel like part of the family. I know that any family she works for will receive the best support ever.

My experience with Liz as my doula was truly phenomenal. From the moment we connected, I knew we were the right fit. Her communication was immediate and thoughtful, as a working mom, I deeply appreciated her sense of urgency and genuine desire to support moms in need. When we had our first meeting, we instantly clicked. She brought such a calm presence, yet also felt like having a big sister in the room with me, which, as a big sister myself, meant so much. I sought out a doula because I was considered “advanced maternal age” with my second baby, and there was a lot of fear-based messaging around potential complications and C-sections. I wanted strong advocacy in the room, support for my body, and a positive, smooth birth experience for both me and my son. I also hoped to delay an epidural as long as possible. Although I ended up being induced (not part of the original plan), Liz helped us adapt confidently. I didn’t receive an epidural until 8 cm, something I’m incredibly proud of, and I credit so much of that to her support (not to mention we also delivered a 10 lb 9 oz baby vaginally). Liz wasn’t just an asset to me, she was an anchor for my husband, too. The three of us truly felt like a team. Her birth classes helped us align on preferences and put our plan on paper, and I loved that she brought that plan into the delivery room and thoughtfully referenced it. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Leading up to delivery, she was a constant source of calm, especially during a major snowstorm when I worried I might go into labor early. After birth, when our son had a brief NICU stay and I experienced complications, Liz continued checking in on both me and my husband. That level of care speaks volumes. She is knowledgeable, certified, deeply compassionate, and incredibly detail-oriented, a true rockstar. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
