Experienced, Compassionate Support with Robyn

Certified Postpartum Doula - Trained NICU Doula - Certified Parent Educator

As a Happiest Baby on the Block certified educator with over 20 years of experience in childcare and parent education, she brings both expert knowledge and genuine understanding to every family she serves.

Robyn - The Phoenix Poppins - NICU and Postpartum Doula

"After more than 20 years of working with families, I've learned that those early days and weeks with your baby—whether you're home or in the NICU—can feel overwhelming, even when they're filled with love. As a certified postpartum doula and trained NICU doula, I'm here to walk alongside you with the kind of support that helps you feel more confident and less alone.

In addition to raising my own adult children, I have worked with infants and families in a supportive role, as a professional nanny, and I volunteer at the bedside in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at Phoenix Children's Hospital, supporting babies recovering from heart surgery and their families.

I know what it's like to navigate the unexpected, and I'm here to help you find your footing—whatever your journey looks like..."

TESTIMONIALS

Postpartum Care - Darean D.

"Robyn was incredibly helpful and I wouldn't change a thing!"

Sibling Support- Heather R.

Robyn was absolutely wonderful with my kids! She arrived right on time, came prepared with engaging Montessori toys, and instantly connected with my toddlers. My little ones are energetic and love to be wild, but Robyn handled them with such kindness, patience, and a calm, positive attitude. She kept them entertained, engaged, and happy the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family!

Reconnecting to the Lost Art of Postpartum Care

I work to create the space to rest, recover, and bond with your baby during those first precious weeks and months.

With a postpartum doula, you'll have someone who answers your questions without judgment, helps you feel confident in your new role, and ensures you're supported—not just surviving, but actually enjoying this time.

You'll get the sleep you need, the reassurance that you're doing a great job, and the freedom to focus on what matters most: getting to know your baby and healing from birth. This is your time to be cared for, so you can care for your little one.

How Can a Postpartum Doula Help You?

A postpartum doula is there to care for you while you care for your baby. I help with newborn care—feeding support, diapering, swaddling, soothing—and light household tasks so you can actually rest and heal. I answer your questions with evidence-based information (not judgment), help you trust your instincts, and create a calm space where you can process everything you're feeling.

Care is customized to your family's specific needs. Connect with me and we can create a custom care plan for you.
