Not only births! I am so excited to be bringing Toddler workshops to The Village Midwife: Antenatal and Postnatal Courses!
Our toddler workshops are designed for parents of children aged 1 and 2 year olds, offering honest, practical guidance on the realities of toddlerhood. Across three relaxed 2.5 hour sessions, we’ll explore what’s typical for this stage of development and why your toddler behaves the way they do.
If you have any questions, pop me a message, or if you would like to join us, book your place here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thevillagemidwife/2106156

Back by popular demand, I will be leading group hypnobirthing sessions for The Village Midwife: Antenatal and Postnatal Courses at The Village Midwife HQ in Wendover ❤️
For anyone not sure - joining hypnobirthing doesn't mean I will hypnotise you! Hypnobirthing gives you techniques to use for any types of birth and the aim is a positive birth - whatever that looks like for you ☺️
We have courses running in April, June/ July, September and November/ December 2026! 📅

There is a quiet shift that happens in doula work over time. In the beginning, many of us feel the pull to be useful, to prove our value, to make a difference in visible ways. That instinct comes from care, and it is very human.

Yet birth teaches something gentler.

Real support is not about positioning ourselves at the centre of the story. It is about tending the edges. It is about noticing what is needed and, sometimes, what is not. It is about creating an atmosphere where a woman feels steady enough to trust herself, even if she barely looks towards us.

The greatest moments are often the smallest. When you realise she is drawing on her own strength. When your presence is almost invisible, yet the space feels safer because you are there.

That is a lesson in humility. It asks us to let go of being needed and instead to value being steady.

There is something deeply freeing in that. I feel grateful that doula work teaches it, again and again.

Hey, I’m Robyn, a qualified birth and postnatal doula, with three amazing children and a wonderful wife. Becoming a parent, and building our blended family has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and it’s why I’m so passionate about being with you as you transition into parenthood. My background in family support, childcare and self-advocacy help me create a safe, inclusive space where you can feel heard, informed and empowered to make choices that are right for you and your family. Whether supporting your birth preferences, early parenting, emotional wellbeing or practical postnatal needs, I work without judgement, honouring your instincts and autonomy while helping you grow in confidence as a parent.
