First time dad here. I can't imagine having gone through the birth of our daughter without Robin by our side. I would whole-heartedly recommed her to anyone looking for doula support. Here's why:
#1: Robin Builds A Real Connection With Her Clients
Robin invested the time in the weeks leading up to delivery to really get to know us: our story of how we got this point, our fears and anxieties, how we wanted this experience to go (as much as one can really plan), etc.. After building such a strong connection in the weeks leading up to delivery, I had 110% confidence going to the hospital that Robin knew what my wife needed both physically and emotionally and that she was going to advocate for her from the start to end of this process - and she did! I really don't know how we would have done this without her.
#2: Robin Supports Dads Just As Much As Moms
Being a new dad is hard! I had a baby girl to take care of and I wanted to take care of my wife and help her recover as quickly as possible. It's a lot. Robin would check in with me often to see how I was holding up. She also spent time with me to answer all my questions and she helped me learn how to change diapers, swaddle, burp, etc.
#3: Robin Is An Amazing Birth Photographer Too!
We opted to add a birth photography session to our package with Robin. I was blown away by the beautiful moments she captured during labor and delivery. There is A LOT going on during labor and once you get through it, it can all seem like a blur. Having these photos now help us reflect back on the experience and the special moments we had together as we welcomed our girl into the world.

We ultimately formed a really special relationship with Robin. Two weeks post birth we are still exhchanging texts. We hired a doula and got a friend. I think that is a testament to the kind of special person Robin is. You'll love her.
