Testimonial for Lydia Robinson CD(DONA), RN, CPM, IBCLC

Lydia is undeniably the G.O.A.T in the maternity and birthing community, a wealth of knowledge and support that has transformed my experience across three pregnancies and two births. From the very start, I knew I couldn't approach pregnancy and birth blindly, surrendering control to medical staff was simply not an option. She prepared us for every stage of pregnancy to delivery. Her medical IQ is truly unmatched, which she generously demonstrates through free childbirth classes that serve as a blueprint for what every birthing mama deserves. Lydia’s commitment extends far beyond her passion, she genuinely shows up for her clients, pushes for advocacy, encouraging us to ask the tough questions, and challenge the outdated notion that one size fits all when it comes to birthing practices. During one particularly challenging phase early in 2024, I faced a miscarriage. In my moment of vulnerability, I reached out to Lydia, who immediately enveloped me with her compassionate support. Her understanding nature allowed us to navigate our decisions with confidence, and we are forever grateful for her constant encouragement throughout my recovery. Fast forward to late 2024 when a positive pregnancy test started a new beginning—Lydia was once again on my birth team! This time around, I was incredibly intentional about my goals. I wanted to labor at home and have a natural unmedicated hospital birth, and I did just that. Each piece of advice and information around nutrition, exercise, rest, mental mindfulness became a tool that I utilized throughout my entire pregnancy. Lydia played an incredible role in this process, dedicating nearly two hours to teaching us various comfort measures and breathing techniques that would help us navigate the challenging labor moments. Constant reminders to practice and prepare. Each step of the way Lydia was there encouraging me to press through the waves and embrace the experience.
