With eight years of experience in the birthing and postpartum fields as a registered nurse, I've been privileged to be a part of hundreds of beautiful and transformative maternal newborn experiences. My expertise extends to working with parents in various hospital delivery scenarios, including OB-assisted procedures in operating rooms and midwife-assisted deliveries in patient rooms. I've assisted families with twins, singletons, IVF, and VBAC deliveries. My experience spans high-risk antepartum care, circulating cesarean sections, post-anesthesia recovery (PACU), postpartum care, and labor and delivery units ranging from Level I to III.

My labor and delivery experience with Robyn was literally picture perfect! I'd recommend her a hundred times over and would love her to be there through my next pregnancy and birth. She answered all my questions through my pregnancy and even let me rant to her about not-so pregnancy related things lol! She helped me move positions every 30 minutes during my labor with an epidural and I think that contributed to a quick and effective delivery. I really needed an extra person to run through scenarios with when the hospital team wanted to start pitocin and I was unsure. Robyn helped me make educated decisions without feeling pressured in either direction. Her experience as a former L&D nurse shined through and I felt safe, supported, and heard through the whole process.

It is difficult to describe how much of a positive influence Robyn had on our birth preparation and experience. In preparing, Robyn took the time to understand my partner's needs and desires and put her mind at ease, but also helped me as a support person understand how I could be most effective in helping my partner.

When it came time to labor, Robyn helped guide us through laboring at home, prior to the hospital. The books and prep classes are only so effective when the emotions and fatigue of the day sets in. Robyn helped keep my partner at ease the entire time.

At the hospital, having Robyn with us was like having the best nurse in the hospital completely dedicated to us. Her prior experience as an L&D nurse was very apparent. Her doula training added an entirely other dimension to the experience that made it as positive as it could be despite the trials and tribulations that come with child birth. In addition to being a great team member with us, she worked seamlessly with both sets of nurses and the L&D doctor. One thing I hadn't anticipated was how much better of a support person she made me.

I highly recommend Robyn as a team member on your birth journey.

Robyn was an incredible doula for my wife Kendra, our newborn daughter, and me. Her kindness, care, and support made a world of difference throughout the entire experience. Robyn was always there for us, whether we had a question that needed a quick text or call, or when we needed her in the delivery room. She helped us navigate the challenges of labor with such grace and reassurance—it truly made all the difference. As a husband and father, Robyn’s presence made me feel more prepared and at ease during the pregnancy, labor, and birth process, turning what could have been overwhelming into something we could embrace together. We are so grateful for everything she did for us. Anyone who has the privilege of having Robyn as their doula will be incredibly fortunate!

Robyn stepped in last second since my doula was sick. She immediately started to comfort me with massage and got to know me which helped distract from contractions. She was so soothing and available to me and my husband. She helped me change into different positions to help baby out, holding my legs and using encouragement to power me through. We could not imagine this experience without her and are forever grateful that she came to help us through! You are in thoughtful, kind hands with Robyn.

Where do I even begin. I was nervous about this whole process and I didn't even know what to "look for" in a doula because people say doula and myself have to be a "good match" for the experience to be good. I didn't know what that meant till Robyn and i met through zoom. She was so compassionate and knew exactly what to say ( she just knew that I was anxious about the process) she was never late in texting me or left me hanging with all the questions I had throughout my pregnancy. She checked on me frequently and developed relationship with me that I didn't feel "awkward" when we met in person for the first time (when I was in labor). She is gentle but isn't afraid to speak up when it's necessary for her client. She goes over all the pros and cons of choices that I might need to make during my labor. She is compassionate but doesn't let emotion cloud her judgement when it comes to helping me make the right/best decisions. This is getting way to long but to summarize it let's just say my husband said Robyn is worth every penny and we would love to have her at our baby's first birthday party as she was a big part of it and I would want my baby to know who helped him to be delivered safely into this world!!
