BIRTH DOULA SERVICES +
MOVEMENT SESSIONS
WITH THE DANCING DOULA
I'm Robin Neveu Brown, trained birth doula and
Certified Movement Analyst & Pilates Instructor.
I am passionate about the ways in which we prepare and support people in the processes of labor and birth.
As a dance artist, teacher, anatomy expert, and mother of two, I am an avid nerd of movement and how it can serve a mother's body during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I have years of experience as a movement educator in both Pilates and somatic movement modalities that I applied in my own motherhood journeys. Movement helped me to feel healthy, whole, and prepared for what was to come.
Most importantly, moving through these processes helped me to find
joy and connection with myself, my partner, and my babies.
I believe in the natural wisdom of the moving body and its power to bring harmony and health to the whole family all along the process: before baby, during labor and birth, in the delicate postpartum period, and beyond!
I am honored to nurture and hold space for women as they find their strength, patience,
and the ability to listen inward, soften, and trust.
Whether you choose a hospital birth, birthing center, or home birth, you deserve knowledgable, calm, and compassionate care from someone who is in your and your partner's corner. I will work with you and your partner during pregnancy to learn more about you and how best to support you so that you feel empowered and prepared for the transition into parenthood.
Movement is key to health-- physical, mental, and emotional. I offer both private sessions and group classes for prenatal and postpartum mothers. Through a combination of Pilates, somatic movement, and playful dance explorations, we will develop the mind/body/baby connection, discover your strength, and work on a healthy balance of mobility and stability, all of which support birth and early parenthood.
SLIDING SCALE PACKAGES
Everyone deserves birth support.
I offer my services on a sliding scale in order to mitigate economic or financial barriers that would otherwise prevent people from getting the care and support that they need and desire. The prices and service packages listed below serve as jumping-off points for our conversation. Everything is adaptable. If you are curious about the benefits of movement and doula support for your journey but need more flexibility, please reach out to me. Let's connect!

What Supported Mothers Are Saying
"I felt so encouraged and empowered by Robin's presence. I am so grateful for her beautiful support of my journey."
Teresa S.
"Robin was compassionate and empathetic to my needs during my birthing experience. She helped to keep me centered and focused within my plan but also empowered to make a different decision when I needed to. Having her by my side provided such peace of mind and strengthened me."
Amee J.
"Get the doula. It is not a luxury. It is not a frivolous expense. The care and support of a doula is an absolute necessity. I worked with Robin for my second birth and I WISH I had gone with a doula for my first. It made all the difference-- between feeling scared and alone and feeling grounded, cared for, and informed."
Anne N.
