Testimonials

sweet words from previous clients

"Robyn is nothing short of fantastic - she helped me in the first 4 weeks of motherhood and I can honestly say I would not be the mum I am now if not for her! Her knowledge of all things baby is vast, including breastfeeding and baby wearing, and she's able to impart in a very unobtrusive way - empowering you to make your own decisions and have a far better understanding of your baby."

Amelie Posse

"As a partner, I found Robyn to be an exceptional doula. She was engaging, friendly, intuitive and supportive. Despite the uncertainty caused by the pandemic Robyn provided a calming and stable presence which enabled my partner and I to remain equally calm. I don’t think Robyn proffered advice throughout the pregnancy but instead listened, asked thoughtful and considered questions and then supported us with any decision that we made. Our birth process did not go as we had first envisaged. However, with Robyn’s support, and the techniques that she enabled us to develop, my partner and I could see the birthing process in a far more positive way than we may have otherwise. I don’t know if one recommends a doula, or if it’s appropriate as it depends on you and what you are looking for. But from our experience, it was wonderful having Robyn by our side and on our side."

James Alawi

"When I first met with Robyn I felt able to share my personal circumstances with her completely, which (as a single mama) helped me feel able to have her completely as part of my journey. Before the birth, we had time to go through my birthing preferences and complete a visual birth plan. This was a very comprehensive process and no question was too simple for her. This made me feel informed, confident and comfortable - much more so than I did with any statutory support.

 

In labour, Robyn was on hand and her usual calm and knowledgeable self. I'll always remember a moment of advocacy in labour where she reinforced my wishes while I was labouring - something I could hear but not fully focus on or appreciate at the time. Even though my sister was also present, it was so helpful hearing them discuss my wishes and wait for my input when I felt the energy to be able to.

 

At no point were any decisions made without me and it feels like that could have been different without her. During labour and after, Robyn was a hugely useful source of information but also a caring listening ear. She helped me with our first bath for bubba and even shared her wisdom when having some feeding issues sometime down the line. I always felt listened to, supported and always in control and having Robyn there through a long pregnancy and a long and little bit challenging labour was incredibly reassuring, positive and healthy! I would highly recommend Robyn to anyone that's unsure about having a Doula and sending love and wellness your way!"

"Robyn was a great support during the last weeks of my pregnancy, she talked to me and my partner about the choices we had, but most important was her determination to focus on what we wanted and how we wanted the birth to be. She guided me to write a birth plan that was changing as the birth was approaching due to my personal circumstances.

 

In the end, I had an elected C-session and Robyn was there to help me write my birth plan for the C- section that included lowering the screen and seeing the baby coming, immediately skin-to-skin contact and a delayed umbilical cord clamping. I have to thank Robyn for her support that made that unforgettable moment happier and fulfilling."

Estrella Hernandez

"Robyn was fantastic - so knowledgeable and compassionate, and really practical too. She advised us before the birth as well, which was extremely useful. I would definitely recommend her."

Caroline Cross

"Robyn’s love and passion started to work for us right after the first phone call.We got lots of help with the latching, positioning and overcoming the nipple confusion and during the course of our home visit lots of useful information given in a very warm and kind way.I totally recommend getting in touch with this lovely Sister!"

Marta Zerominska

"Robyn has been an asset throughout my postnatal period. She has supported in my breastfeeding journey and allowed me to feel human in the days following giving birth which I did not think could happen. If you are thinking about getting a doula then I could not recommend Robyn more. I miss her in my home already!"

Jo

"After speaking to a few candidates we chose Robyn to be our birth and postnatal doula – and we are so happy we did! Robyn is a very professional and knowledgeable doula, and her warm and grounded personality made us feel at ease in the process of becoming parents. Her support and guidance were exactly what we were hoping for and we are truly grateful for the positive influence she had.

 

Robyn helped us plan for a homebirth and was with us for the delivery. It was quite a long and tiring labour and we were so grateful and inspired that Robyn’s support was absolute throughout. Even staying longer than expected to help put back the room for us and make placenta prints. We have some excellent photos and videos too, shot by Robyn, to keep hold of. We honestly believe we would not have been able to have such a wholesome and positive experience without her help.

 

Our postnatal sessions were hugely valuable helping us become quickly comfortable caring for our baby. Robyn is an excellent guide with lots of insights into the many details new parents have to learn such as breastfeeding, bathing, sling use, pumping milk, soothing, etc. Always calm and reassuring, she emits such a caring and empathetic energy. This feels like something particular to Robyn. That her knowledge and professionalism are carried by an approach that is empowering, therapeutic and kind. If we have another baby, we will definitely ask Robyn to be there again. She played a crucial role part in welcoming Percy into our lives and would love her to be there when welcoming new members of our family to the world!"

Sarah & Henry

"Where to begin! Robyn is just incredible in every way. There’s really no one like her. I struggled with breastfeeding my first child so I sought Robyn’s help for my second. Immediately she made me feel calm and comfortable. Her presence alone took me to a better place. She really listens and always had words of wisdom for anything I was struggling with; as well as videos, articles, materials, etc.., that were all extremely useful. I’ve spent many hours trying to find answers on the internet and Robyn has done all of that work already. I was blown away by her passion for what she does and her wealth of knowledge. She’s supportive, brilliant, peaceful, caring, patient, humble, and so much more. I’m so very grateful to have had Robyn, and her lovely daughter, on my motherhood journey with me."

Amelie

"Robyn is a wonderful doula. She has a very non-judgmental, empathic approach and is a great listener. It's hard to imagine that I would have had the home birth I had without her. She provided so much support not only to me but to my partner too and I know he felt more equipped to support me as a result.

 

Robyn shared so much knowledge with us in the first few weeks after birth when we worked with her for a short time as a postnatal doula and I believe my breastfeeding journey was able to get off to such a successful start because of her support and guidance. She also has great knowledge around slings, and we were able to use one very early on and build confidence in doing this with her guidance."

Anna

"We cannot thank Robyn enough for holding us metaphorically + physically through the first, very scary months of growing a tiny human. We booked 10 post-natal sessions and got to spread them over 9-10months which we loved, as we could check in with Robyn to make sure we were doing all the right things! The cherry on top, is that Robyn's cooking is sensational, would last for a few days and would be so nutritious. We still miss the black bean stew, plantain + guacamole dish! We cannot recommend Robyn more, so kind, patient and really fun too! Anyone would be lucky to have her, we're so thankful for all the gentle hand holding and nurturing during this first year."

Charlotte King

"I'd highly recommend Robyn - brilliant, knowledgeable, supportive, professional and she brings a wide range of skills, expertise and experience."

Fran O'Leary

"I absolutely loved getting to know Robyn and feel lucky to have had her practical and emotional support. She was so happy to share her knowledge and experience and always in the most gentle and supportive way. I can”t think of a better start as a new parent and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula."

Annabel

“Robyn was kind, encouraging, supportive and calm throughout my labour. I would encourage other women to have a doula as they have access to information others may not have, women should be with experience women in labour and I was very happy to have Robyn with me. Robyn was extremely sensitive to my culture and our traditional care after childbirth, she made me feel comfortable when talking to her. If I had another pregnancy I would call Robyn to be my doula as she was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and helpful.” 

Wei Soik

“Robyn was so supportive before, during and after birth. She has a wonderful energy which was felt by all who met her, radiating calmness during labour she put me at ease and I could not imagine the birth of my son without her support in pregnancy. Her knowledge gave me the confidence to trust my body and enabled me to have the natural birth that I had dreamt of. She was also a sanity saver when I was struggling to breastfeed and I have no doubt that she facilitated my successful breastfeeding journey. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am so grateful to have come across her on my search for a doula”

Saoirse

“Robyn was extremely understanding and empathetic as my postnatal doula and her focus on me while everyone around me focused on my new baby was a huge relief. Her understanding was also potentially key to my emotional recovery postpartum and supporting my alone bonding time with my new baby when she took my older children out. Her knowledge on birth and breastfeeding was very helpful to my partner. Her empathy was especially notable and much needed in my postnatal period. Robyn was knowledgeable and able to gently informed my partner and also navigated the dynamic that emerged in my family during the postnatal period very sensitively.” 

Ayesha

"Robyn was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly and made me feel at ease throughout my birth journey. She was the perfect person to have on call to ease my worries and gave me great advice to help me make decisions throughout whilst supporting me to maintain my autonomy. She was completely unfazed by our very unique birth plan and gave us amazing support to help us to carry it out.

We laboured at home and she was there throughout some of the most difficult parts, giving me gentle guidance and keeping me focused and encouraged with the task at hand even when the pain seemed unbearable. She wasn’t only great with me (mum) but very calming for my partner and family. Taking the edge of having to deal with everyone. She was also so respectful to everyone’s needs whilst supporting me to have what I needed for a serene birth experience. The Homebirth team had worked with her before also which was nice because they was already acquainted but she did also schedule our pre birth app to align with midwife appointment so she met my midwives and family before the labour.

I did have to go to the hospital in the end, which was not my ideal situation. But she helped me to feel ok and was with us all the way. Honestly it was just the best idea to get a doula and an even better idea to have Robyn. I can honestly say all the love and support I received made my first baby one that I will never forget for all the right reasons."
