I have had the opportunity to take two trainings with Robin and I am a better birthworker for it. I took my initial DONA doula training with her, in-person, in early 2020 and had a blast. I still refer back to activities she used and points she made all the time in my own work. I then learned a whole new way to absorb information and engage others when I took my Lamaze childbirth educator training with her in mid-2022 in a 6-week virtual format. What a different way to teach! And yet, it was just as engaging and enjoyable as I had expected.
In both formats, I have found Robin to be an incredibly well-spoken, engaging, and fun trainer. She makes use of multiple teaching methods to ensure that every person is able to learn in their own way. A peer mentioned recently that she is retaking her doula workshop, this time under Robin, and I was so envious. If I could take her courses all over again, I absolutely would.
Robin is incredibly knowledgable (and yet totally relatable!) and is a fantastic person to have in your corner as you grow your career. Her impact isn't over on the last day of class either; Robin has cultivated an active community space whose importance can't be overstated. I feel so glad that I have her as a mentor and partner in this realm of birth work. I HIGHLY recommend her as a trainer!

Back in 2015 when I had the inkling to become a doula, I searched doula workshops near me and came across Robin's training. That experience, and the enduring support after it, have been INVALUABLE to my career as a doula. Robin is an engaging, informative, and wise teacher. I like how her curriculum gets you thinking and dives into all manner of topics in just a few sessions! The ongoing support of Robin through her trainee community continues to be a valuable resource. Thank you for everything, Robin!

Robin is both professional and warm in her manner and teaching style. She's thorough and inviting to all her students and helps even the shiest person to open up and feel free to ask questions and deep dive into the training program.
