I used her for after care when I came home with my daughter. I had a very difficult hospital birth. She was amazing and a great help. I don't know what I would have done without her. She's like a baby whisperer. read more

Robin's Tender Touch Doula Services - Nutritionists Near Me

I have had the pleasure of witnessing Robin work with children between the ages of 12 months and 11 years old. She has a unique ability of meeting each child where they are, not where she would prefer them to be. Little ones naturally gravitate toward her gentle spirit and big heart. Robin is highly knowledgeable about child development, infant sleep, sleep training, holistic childbirth, infant/child nutrition, and herbal medicine. She incorporates this skill set into every encounter with families! When providing overnight doula care, she takes meticulous notes, ensuring that the family is fully aware of how their babies are doing at night. With her down time, Robin is happy to pitch in around the home with tasks such as meal prep, laundry, or general organizing. She adapts to each environment gracefully and leaves every home better than she found it. I can go on and on about all of Robin's wonderful qualities. She is an excellent listener; she's deeply intuitive, non judgmental, proactive, curious, eager to learn and help. Robin is clearly in this line of work because it is her life's passion; she serves families for all the right reasons. I would trust Robin to support my family in any capacity - she is truly a gem! Anyone would be lucky to have her! read more

We were so grateful to find Robin for birth and night doula support for our first child. From the start, Robin made us feel empowered by answering our many questions throughout my pregnancy. During my 22 hour complicated labor and delivery, Robin helped me advocate for myself with our doctors as we faced some unexpected and high stakes decisions around medical interventions. She showed me how to try different labor positions and coached my husband on how to best support me during the most difficult parts of labor. We then had Robin's support during nights and she helped us with everything from early breastfeeding challenges, sleep related fits and starts, and baby's tummy issues. No matter the problem, Robin provided encouragement and wisdom; she made us feel calm and capable despite our stress and anxiety during extremely fussy periods. She not only cared for our daughter with love and grace but also always looked out for how we were doing as parents (for example, bringing us yummy snacks or checking in on our mental health). She helped us get more sleep while also teaching our daughter healthy sleep habits - we were all better rested as a result. We were so sad to end our time with Robin, and would highly recommend her to anyone considering working with her - you won't regret it! read more

We were supposed to work with Robin for only 8 weeks, but she was so amazing that it ended up turning into four months. She became part of our family and had our complete trust. Our baby loved her. We will always be grateful for all the help and support she gave us in such a vulnerable and delicate time. read more

Robin is incredible. She was with us for the first 10 weeks of our daughter's life. As first time parents, Robin was an invaluable part of our journey becoming a family. She came for the first time our second night home from the hospital and that was HUGE because she showed us what nights with a newborn could look like. Robin is experienced and incredible caring for newborns, but she also is highly attuned to the needs of the whole family. She offers her depth of knowledge in a way that is encouraging and supportive of new parents still figuring out how to care for their new baby. Robin helped guide us through each milestone, fussy patch, breastfeeding hiccup, etc. Knowing our family, what was important to us, and our infant meant that her guidance and support was specific and helpful to our circumstance. I really appreciated that her offer of "text me anytime!" was genuine - she was a lifeline to my on more than a handful of occasions. I truly cannot imagine those first 10 weeks without Robin. She was exactly what we all needed in such an intense period of our lives. Unquestionably, if you're hiring a post partum doula, you've found the best! read more

My husband and I had Robin as our post partum doula for 10 weeks and I truly do not have the words to express how incredible she is. Not only did she provide warm, calm, compassionate, non-judgmental care for me as a new mom, but her skills as a "baby whisperer" are out of this world! She came in and immediately took a weight off of our shoulders. She listened to us and helped us learn about our new daughter so that she could set up a customized routine that would work for our family. She saved us from dreaded internet searches, that always have conflicting information, and had the most helpful tips and tricks--all of which were so simple and easy to follow, but things we would never have thought to do in a million years. She is so amazing at "reading" babies and understanding their needs as well as ensuring the mother is well taken care of physically and emotionally. She would even bring us delicious and nutritious homemade meals and snacks "just because"!! I cannot recommend Robin highly enough, anyone would be extremely lucky to welcome her into their home. read more
