Reviews
DeVyne Crown Birth Services Birth and Postpartum Coach and Doula in NYC
"We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have Desirée as our doula. Desirée helped us tremendously preparing for the arrival of our son. I am grateful she was part of our special day. We highly recommend her. It was a relief having Desirée come over during our pregnancy. She helped me and my partner practice natural birthing techniques. Even though, my birth resulted in a c-section she was very supportive and provided us with her expertise and guidance during the process. After birth, she has helped my body heal from body aches and also providing us with essential child care techniques. Desirée exceeded our expectations and our birth experience would not have been what it was with out her."

DeVyne ReDesign Furniture Upcycling
"Desi not only created a beautiful piece of furniture, she upcyled a dresser from my garage for my son's room that he helped sand and paint! We now have a sentimental piece from my late father and she also educated my son on environmental justice, the importance of creativity, working with his hands AND saving the planet!"

Professor, Community Health Education
I was continuing my journey as a graduate student in the Community Health
Education Program at Metropolitan College of New York. My life changed when I met Professor Robinson. I would describe her as "a breath of fresh air."
She is supportive, she has a creative mind and continues to be an inspiration to myself and so many others. One of the many great qualities amplified by Prof. Robinson is her strong hold and belief in
Social Justice. She believes in the uniqueness of everyone as it relates to race, gender, sexual orientation, and socio economic status to name a few. She believes that everyone deserves and should have equal economical rights, equal opportunities, the right to
equal political representation, and social rights respectfully. Prof. Robinson continues to be an active and supportive member of our community. I have absolute faith that wherever Prof. Robinson goes and whatever task is given to her, she will execute in the most effective and impactful way possible. - Lorna Modeste-Thomas, Community Health Educator specializing in Black Women's Health.
