"Robin was simply invaluable to us during the births of our son Eamon and our daughter, Maeve.  Her calm demeanor combined with her knowledge and wisdom helped Mark and me stay focused and positive.  I am convinced that her advice, aid, and her very presence are largely responsible for my having a positive birth experience.  I cannot imagine going through childbirth without her!"

— Marguerite K.

"Ali and I just wanted to thank you again for all of your insight and advice this weekend. We were saying tonight how much we appreciated your warmth and ability to convey the necessary information without terrifying us. We're more prone to anxiety than most, so we were especially grateful for that."

— Margaret J.

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the class on Saturday. Nico and I both thoroughly enjoyed it and found it extremely helpful and informative. I loved that you offer the class with a great sense of humor, which made it easier to relax and absorb all the information without getting completely overwhelmed. Thanks for putting us at ease! We will certainly recommend the class to any of our friends."

— Monja J.

— Janet R.

"Thank you, Robin, for everything. Without you, I wouldn't have approached the labor with such confidence and a thorough understanding of the process, as well as my options. Your instruction came in handy many times!"

— Quinne C.

"Robin, thank you so very kindly for all that you gave us - your knowledge was powerful and exceptionally reassuring! I truly went away feeling more confident - and I'm overwhelmingly thankful for this in our childbirth process. Thank you!"

— Ellie G.

"I just wanted to thank you for a great, educational and fun weekend. It was a lot of information, but it was presented in such a digestible way that we left feeling prepared and not overwhelmed. You put us at ease and so I wanted to say thanks for your knowledge, patience and understanding. You're really wonderful."

— Katy H.

"I wanted to let you know that Mitch and I used everything you taught us while I was in labor last week--thank you! It was very helpful to be so informed and prepared."

— Brittney M.

"Your class was very instructive and helped us levied our doubts and questions. We're happy for being able to know our options and formulate our preferences. It was also very fun. We will recommend these classes to everyone expecting a baby"

— Anissa B. and Alex L.

"Thanks for such a wonderful class experience this weekend - to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to attending a whole weekend long 7 hour day birth boot camp, Michelle signed me up, but it really exceeded my expectations; incredibly substantive and relevant. Your style felt personal /sensitive (pro patient!!) and also entertaining (the way you acted out certain scenes) and most importantly, I feel a lot more prepared and also know the areas of where I might need to ask more questions if they come up.  

Working with you was just so refreshing. I am actually excited about the whole experience now, rather than fearful. If we hadn't already gone with our Doula (who is also great btw), I would definitely have loved to have considered you."

— Marcus C. and Michelle C.

"I just have to tell you that Tommy and I cannot stop talking about how wonderful your class was this weekend - it was informative, engaging, straight to the point and most of all reassuring. Before that class I was of the mindset that I NEED the epidural as soon as I walk into the hospital and my biggest fear was not being able to get one if the baby comes too fast. Given the information we now know and the comfort techniques you provided and spent time practicing with us, I now feel less scared. So again, thanks to you, I walked out of there a different person. I feel confident, prepared and most of all, no longer terrified of what's ahead!"

— Charlene N. and Tommy C.

“Hi Robin, I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much Justin and I enjoyed part one of the birthing class last night. Your approach was just what we're looking for -- straightforward and no nonsense, but with the perfect amount of awe and reverence for what we're about to undertake. We really appreciated it, and we're looking forward to the next two classes. It's been such a strange time to be pregnant. It's been hard to feel supported and find connection in this socially distant world, and I've had trouble feeling engaged with what's going on in my body when there are so many new and scary unknowns and uncertainties swirling around on top of all of the ordinary unknowns and uncertainties of having a baby! Your session last night made me feel grounded and empowered, and I didn't even realize how much I needed that right now. Thank you very much for a great evening!”

— Kate A. and Justin O.

“Hi Robin, Thanks very much for leading the birth preparedness class and sending all of the supplemental information. Julia and I enjoyed the class and learned a ton--thanks in huge part to your passion for the subject. You made us feel more prepared and confident for childbirth than we ever thought possible, and for that we are truly grateful!”

— Julia W. and Tom G.

We met Robin through a birth prep class. It was our first baby and we were both super nervous! Robin helped instill the confidence we needed to walk (or in our case run) into the delivery room empowered and excited. In addition to this class, Robin also helped at a moments notice through my postpartum experience when I was having issues weaning off of night pumps. She is a wealth of knowledge and voice of reason/positivity for parents attempting to navigate the first year and I'd recommend her to anyone!"

— Jackie L. and Corey M.

“Prim and I would like to thank you again for doing such wonderful classes - we will miss your Tuesday evening rendezvous :) For sure I will be visualizing you when I’m swaying, squatting, dancing and breathing during labor. Who knows, we might not even need an epidural. Thank you again for all your help - you have been so generous with your time and resources and already made this a much better experience as I could ever imagine.”

— Sinje L. and Prim C.

“Just wanted to say thank you for last night! It’s refreshing to hear someone talk about birth and the beautiful/natural experience it should be!”

— Jessica E. and Jeremy M.

“Thank you very much again for taking extra time to teach us everything we needed!! We loved your classes. We feel more confident and ready with the info and your encouraging messages.”

— Kanako E. and Eduardo A.

“Lauren and I have been radiating positivity since taking your class. We wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge, insights, support and guidance. You are a GREAT teacher!!! I'm so grateful we took your class!”

— Sara K. and Lauren W.

“Ed and I wanted to thank you for an amazing weekend. Your approach to teaching is informative, real and without judgement. It is obvious that you love contributing to first time parents and there is no doubt that this is your calling. We both feel much more comfortable and can accept the way our son will enter this world (singing Iron Maiden! Haha).”

— Kate D. and Ed B.

“We welcomed our son on March 6th! Mark was an incredible support person through the 21 hours of labor and the NYU Langone nurses were also so wonderful. Made it through with no epidural, and my recollection of transition is already a hazy memory :) !! Thank you so much for your informative and empowering class and presence— you made us feel like we could do it, and we did!!”

— Debbie S. and Mark R.

“Thank you so much for setting us up for success! We really enjoyed your classes! I really appreciated going every week and then having focused questions for my doctors visits. Plus we made the decision to get a doula after visiting your classes, which we probably wouldn't have done otherwise! Thank you for your wisdom and advice!”

— Emma R. and Ger F.

“I can't tell you how many things during delivery I thought of that you had said. I really feel we went in prepared”

— Demetri G. and Karolina P.

“Robin, thank you again for a fantastic class. Our birth experience would have been very different had we been without everything we learned from you!”

— Allison G. and Kevin W.

“Robin is a warm, caring and knowledgeable doula. Both my husband and I were incredibly reassured during our time with her and learnt a lot. Thank you Robin for contributing to this magical moment.”

— Miriam D. and Jonathan A.

“Thanks for your wisdom…  we definitely applied it during labor, delivery and postpartum. We also were helped by one of your colleagues who was wonderful and also sang your praises… thank you for teaching, guiding, and holding space for us during our childbirth education class.”

— LeConte D. and Umberto R.

“Robin, I wanted to say an enormous thank you for your amazing classes and let you know how much they meant to us. I gave birth to a baby girl on August 25th and I found my birthing experience very profound and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. So much of it was thanks to what we had learned through you, which made both David and me feel empowered and confident. David was my doula and did the double hip squeeze for hours! I had contractions for over 24 hours which was exhausting but I made it through thanks to him - and thanks to you and the tools you gave us.”

— Johanna G. and David M.

“Thank you once again for the great birth class Atsushi and me attended with you at the end of last year. On January 12th, our little baby girl came into the world. Thanks to your class, we were well prepared and I am recovering well after the natural birth. Wishing you all the best and expressing our deep gratefulness.”

— Samantha F. and Atsushi M.
