Reviews & Testimonials

“My son Conor is almost 4 months old and I have sat down many times to write this testimonial and found I couldn’t find the words to do so. I then realized that there aren’t words to describe what Roxy did for me, my family and my baby. What I can do is tell you how she showed up for me…When doctors told me that I just had to deal with my sciatic nerve problems until after the baby was born, Roxy stepped in and provided solutions to ease my discomfort. When I was worried about COVID and the hospital, she gave me the strength to believe in myself that I could have a home birth. During my birth, she held my hand and always was able to find the right words to help me thrive through the next surge. When my baby came out and wasn’t breathing, she held me in her eyes and told me that it was going to be ok and I believed her. When my placenta wouldn’t come out and I started internally bleeding and was fading in and out of consciousness…it was Roxy’s voice I heard calling me back and helping me hold on. When I was being carried out by the firemen, it was Roxy that made sure my husband had everything he needed to care for our baby while I was away. When I was in the emergency room, it was Roxy that I saw through the frantic sea of nurses and doctors that were trying to save my life. When I woke up in the recovery room, it was Roxy that was by my side to cry with me. When I was taken up to my hospital room to begin the long road to recovery, it was Roxy that slept on the chair next to me so I wasn’t alone. It was Roxy who helped me process the trauma and constantly checked in with me postpartum to make sure I was ok. And guess what? I AM ok and I attribute most of that to Roxy. What would I have done without her? I simply can’t allow myself to even imagine what that would have been like. Again, love…grateful…thank you…all those seem like tiny words compared to what she did for me. Love you to the moon and back, Roxy. Thank you.”

“The support and encouragement that Roxy offered me and my husband, too, was absolutely invaluable. When people initially think of Doulas, they think “support during birth.” Roxy was SO MUCH more than that. She was a shoulder to cry on, and an ear that listened to me and supported me physically and emotionally for 41 weeks and 5 days. She kept me sane with daily check-ins in those last two weeks when I felt like my pregnancy would never end. I so often am the one to say “I’m fine, everything is fine, it’s no big deal.” Roxy saw through that, always reminding me to listen to my body and prioritize my physical and mental health. Roxy was truly my pregnancy and birth therapist!! Roxy, not only provided this support during pregnancy, she has also been an amazing companion and resource in helping me adjust to postpartum life. Roxy’s care is SO worth any amount we could have ever paid for it. Roxy knows what she’s doing and she loves what she does. She is a calming presence in the chaos that is pregnancy and birth. Her expertise in the body, yoga, and massage are all so evident when you speak with her. Having that person on your team who has been with you from the beginning and who you trust so much is the most valuable type of support. The experiences that you go through during pregnancy are life-changing. You don’t want to have any regrets or “what ifs.” I am so proud to have been informed of my choices and in charge of my birth. My husband and I have said over and over - everyone should have a Roxy! Prioritize yourself, your baby, and your family, and spend the money for her care. The return will be more than worth it. I know that my pregnancy and birth story would have been very different without her!”

-Sarah Sasser

“Having Roxy with us again at our second birth, was even better than the first! We felt like she was part of the family, the comfort level was incredible. I have such wonderful fond memories of both my births because of the care she gave! She reads minds, anticipates tasks, advocates for your preferences, and makes you feel heard! The experience was so positive, that I have memories of us all laughing together and enjoying the birth experience (up until time to push.. ;) . Having Roxy at both our births was so special, with my husband and Roxy there I felt so cared for and so loved. Which is my hope for any pregnant person! I also did several of her Birth Ready Body Work massages during my 3rd trimester in preparation for birth and I felt like it deepened my understanding of my pregnant body and my bond with Roxy, and helped me feel even more comfortable with her at our birth. That way she knew the issues I was dealing with ahead of time, and so during birth she knew what areas to help me with. Game changer! I believe that doula power like Roxy's is imperative for unmedicated birth experiences! She helped me remember my priorities and my goals during birth while my mind was focused elsewhere. She helped support my husband and make sure he had all that he needed to be there for me and to be cared for, so that he had a positive experience too. Because of living out of town, I wasn't able to go to her prenatal yoga in person classes, but I was able to get her guidance by buying her yoga videos and practicing that way. The support in the last few weeks of pregnancy, when everything hurts and our minds are so over it - was so important! She listened, she always had helpful suggestions and she helped me survive those hard last weeks. We had a wonderful birth and a healthy happy baby boy and she helped us navigate support through postpartum chaos as well.Honestly, the combination of hiring Roxy and going to the birth center made my birth experience comforting, loving, gentle, supported and one of the most special days of my life. It is literally the best money I've ever spent! I cannot recommend her enough! Love you Roxy!!”

-Ariel Zijp

“Roxy is a gift to our community and was crucial during my pregnancy and birth. She supported me and my family as our doula and my yoga teacher. Having Roxy as my doula, I felt taken care of, loved and seen and it felt so good to have a guide along the crazy journey of birth and postpartum. You know how people have sherpas to climb mount everest? That feels similar to birth. To have a trusted guide who has been down this path hundreds of times before and knows how to light the way is priceless. I am so grateful to have had Roxy in moments of fear and doubt. She is truly a grounding, calming force and a wonderful human too.”

-Kerry Tobin

“Well, for starters, if you'd like to shed some tears, I suggest you read my wife Cindi Cervone Carlson's testimonial because it shows how tremendously supportive Roxy was through our second pregnancy and home birth - where Roxy was a true hero. I endorse everything my wife said there as fact. Beyond that though, Roxy has been there for me as well. During both pregnancies, she was always a soothing voice of reason, calm, strength, and support. There are so many pieces to the puzzle. She provided the advocacy we needed in the hospital, to guide us through medical options and procedures that were difficult to understand. She provided massage, coaching to new parents overwhelmed with anxiety. She connected us to a network of new parents to aid our journey as we settled in. The list goes on and on. Roxy is a rock that you can lean on. Honestly, I don't know how she does it all with such tremendous grace. Thank you Roxy for all that you do and have done!”

-Mike Cervone

“I am so very glad that my husband and I found Roxy early on in my pregnancy and hired her as our doula. I truly can’t say enough good things about her. From the moment we met, she was the knowledgeable, calm, constant force we needed to walk alongside us during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Roxy was there for us every step of the way. She felt like an old friend and a new confidant all in one. During my very long labor and delivery, Roxy was the steady force we needed. She held space for us, built me up when I needed it, danced alongside me, held me when I couldn’t hold myself any longer, and guided me to a place of compassion when it was needed. She provided so much more than just her amazing hip squeezes. She is knowledgeable, strong, and confident. She is soft, kind, and intuitive. I could go on and on. If you’re looking for a doula, I highly recommend Roxy. She will have your back (and your baby’s back!), every step of the way! Roxy, thank you for being there for us. You will forever be a part of our little family and we will hold you near and dear to our hearts for ever and ever.”

-Nancy Culpepper

“It’s impossible to put into words how grateful I am to have found Roxy during my pregnancy and birth journey. She is warm, kind, compassionate, wise and extremely knowledgeable in her field and I immediately felt that I could confide in her without judgment. Roxy’s presence during my labor was nothing short of heroic. She made me feel safe, heard and held when my birth plan veered off course. She was truly my birth angel - standing by my side offering exactly what I needed when I needed it, whether it was her amazing pain relief techniques, a sip of water, a word of praise or a shoulder to cry on. She made sure I felt empowered even when things turned out differently than I’d imagined and brought me through to the other side with grace. Thank you Roxy for all that you do and for a birth experience that I look back on with a sense of peace and fulfillment. My husband and I could not have done it without you!”

-Rachel Turchin

“Roxy helped me bring both of my girls into the world and I can't imagine these experiences without her! She brings her whole self to births. She helps to create the birthing bubble you want and need. She's incredibly knowledgeable. Her energy is grounding. She predicts the needs of mama and her partner without them even needing to ask. I'm forever thankful for her strong hands, her kind heart, her fierce advocacy for her clients, and everything else she brings to the table. She's forever a cherished part of my family's story. I also highly recommend working with her for prenatal massage, for birth prep/education courses, and for postpartum community yoga!”

-Chanel Gardella

“I've said this a thousand times since the birth of our baby - I can't believe anyone makes it through birth without a doula and specifically Roxy. I want to give myself some credit for pooping out a big baby just as I had wanted, with minimal interventions, but I honestly feel like it was Roxy that did the hard work to bring our baby to us. She got to our house just as I was at my breaking point, sure that I couldn't do this insane thing anymore. Roxy came in and bathed me in warmth and reassured me that she was right there with me. She gave me something I could confidently lean on and into. I no longer wondered if I could do it because we were just doing it, together. She was there with her whole body and mind, physically bracing me throughout the night and emotionally supporting me when I struggled. I know in theory I could have done it without her but I wouldn't want to. Roxy gave us genuine love during one of the hardest times and will always feel like family because of that. We love her so much.”

-Laura Evans

“The best kind of support is the kind you don't even have to ask for. Because sometimes the act of asking takes a lot of effort, like when you're in in the deep altered state of active labor. Roxy was that kind of support for me during my 12 hours of overnight labor with my second son. She breathed with me through every contraction, guiding me through the pressure with grace. She helped me find positions to work or rest in and to rotate the baby into his optimal alignment for delivery. She seemed to read my mind over and over again, suggesting things I was just thinking I needed. In the deepest most intense times, her words of affirmation kept me present and strong. . Months before the big night she was there for me with extremely helpful information and insight on the physical transformations through pregnancy and delivery, helping me to have a clear picture of how the baby makes his journey with me and through me. In the weeks after he was born she was there for unpacking anything that needed to be processed. Her non-judgmental presence is so comforting and safe. .If you are having a baby, seriously consider having a doula. If you're in the Asheville area seriously consider Roxy Robbins. Also check out her prenatal yoga for mothers and couples, it's amazing.”

-Hallee Hirsh

“Roxy was my doula for my second child in 2022. She was incredibly helpful in helping me navigate the nuances of a second pregnancy when everything is familiar but still strange. The birth was incredibly fast which created it's own challenge. Roxy was my steady breath as I moved through it. She was brilliant in the post partum haze when I was dealing with a new baby and a kid and all the speed of the birth. I cannot recommend her enough. So much love for this smart, kind, and thoughtful human.”

-Dylan Babb

"Roxy is a rockstar! She made me feel supported and calm during my labor and delivery and I am so grateful to have had her by my side through it all. Her techniques for relieving my pain were so valuable! My husband and I felt secure and elated to have such a knowledgeable and warm presence with us to welcome our beautiful daughter into this world. WE LOVE ROXY! Having her there meant EVERYTHING to us."

Love, Lilly & Nathan

“It's hard to express in words how much I appreciate Roxy. We were introduced to her by a mutual friend before becoming pregnant, and when it came time to prepare for our first child's birth, we knew we wanted/needed her on our birth team. Her experience and knowledge alone make her a fantastic doula, but it's her calm, loving manner, amazing ability to listen without judgement, and skill at guiding you to what is best for you with facts and research, that makes her exceptional. One of the big reasons I wanted to have a doula was for my husband. I wanted him to have the freedom to feel what he needed to feel and take care of his needs during this big transition, without worrying about being "on" for me. He was amazing during the labor and part of that was thanks to Roxy. She guided both of us before, during, and after the birth and made us feel confident and comfortable. When the birth plan took a left turn, she talked us through it and restored our sense of control. I can not recommend Roxy enough.”

-Mary Martin

“Having Roxy as our doula was key leading up to the birth & at every turn during/after. Our birth didn’t turn out to be anything like we hoped/planned & having Roxy with us through it all made everything ok. She is so giving emotionally & empathic. I can’t imagine how it would have went down without her. Her knowledge about labor, birth, babies, massage, & everything in between put us at ease. She always had answers & knew how to comfort & guide us through decisions we weren’t sure of. With her & my partner by my side I felt empowered & supported throughout the whole process. Recommend 10 out of 10. She’s perfect.”

-Jess West

“Roxy is an exceptional doula. I met her 6 six years ago when I was pregnant with my first child and sought her out for the birth of our youngest, now 2. She is undoubtedly the reason I was able to have two natural births and speedy recoveries. Roxy advocated for me at every turn and she is extremely skilled in pain management. If faced with the choice to have my spouse in the room or Roxy, I would choose Roxy to be by my side, no question. Roxy was an incredible support to my husband as well and we whole heartedly recommend her.”

-Michaela Schmidlin

“When my wife decided that she was going to go toe-to-toe with a VBAC, we both knew that having a competent, confident, calm, and experienced doula was a necessity. We knew that Roxy was that professional when we met her, and she exhibited those traits steadfastly; believe me, we challenged her. My wife had a long and difficult labor, and though we had unexpected challenges that required some undesired interventions, it initially trended in a very hopeful direction; then the epidural fell out. Within a couple of hours our trajectory had changed tremendously, and it became clear that we were going to have to revert to a c-section. My wife was in extreme pain, and I was terrified; I had never seen her in such anguish. Roxy was there for us both during this time… she provided comfort and direction for me and was a voice for my wife and I in this extremely complicated and scary moment. It was a traumatic experience, and we truly thought we had broken Roxy. We were wrong. She was there to follow up with us to bring us smiles and comfort once we slept off the chaos. Anyone who can bring that courage and composure into an experience like ours is a remarkable and valuable human being; Roxy is that anyone.”

-Blaise Schulten

“As a labor and delivery nurse, I had been part of hundreds of births by the time I became pregnant with our first son.  My husband and I chose to hire a doula to help him feel more comfortable in the world of labor and birth and ease some of the stress that comes with being a solo birth partner. Roxy was a tremendous asset during my first pregnancy. The prenatal information she provided, her connections to the various birth communities in Western North Carolina, from doulas to nurses to midwives and OBGYNs, was an incredible help. She was available by phone or text throughout my pregnancy and met with us at various points to give information and check on our progress. Because we lived so close to the hospital, we chose to labor at home as long as we could.  I will never forget Roxy arriving first thing in the morning after I had labored through the night. She held my head in her hands and my entire body relaxed, a sense of ‘I can do this,’ washed over me.  Roxy advocated for me during the birth of our first son and I believe it was her grounded presence and clear mind that calmed the room and gave me the breath of strength I needed for the final hours preceding his birth. Our second labor together was smoother, calmer, and I left the experience feeling empowered and renewed. Roxy is passionate, intuitive, and smart. She is the person we are lucky to meet on our journey who has stepped solidly into her gifts and alchemized those gifts into a life of work that buoys up women and their families as they move through the rigors birth into motherhood. When I was in the final moments of labor with my second son, it was Roxy who held me up. Her support was like leaning on the strongest oak tree. She never waivered and I never questioned that we were in the very best of hands. 

-Miriam

"I had a long and difficult labor which ultimately led to an unexpected c-section. Roxy helped me find my strength when I didn’t think I had any left. She helped me stay calm in the OR when they were prepping me for surgery before my husband was even allowed in. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. I am in deep awe of her compassion and commitment to this work. We also had Roxy as our postpartum doula. She answered my million questions as a clueless new mama! She also helped me find resources to aid my healing process. I am forever grateful for Roxy’s kind spirit and gentle energy during our major life transition."

-Michelle Fletcher

“Roxy was my doula and assisted me for the birth of my beautiful daughter, Mabel. She is my first baby, and as you can imagine. I was terrified—of birth, the hormones, my body, and most of all—hospitals. Our birth plans are never guaranteed, but I still made one. I wanted a non medicated vaginal birth in the hospital. And I was very lucky and blessed, and SUPPORTED to be able to have say that I was able to have that. And it was with the help and encouragement from Roxy. She was my rock. Enveloped me in strength and comfort and advocated for me when I needed it. I had expressed that I am close to medically illiterate and fear being taken advantage of in medical settings for something that suits the doctor/nurse, and not necessarily the patient. Thank you thank you thank you. I recommend her to everyone in the AVL area. Even my friends who don’t live in AVL, I recommend that they hire a doula. Everyone needs that type of care and support in such a vulnerable time. I would do it all again because of Roxy. Thank you, deeply.”

-Mackenzie Elliot

“Today as a new mother, when I see photos of Roxy and Evan in other births, I am immediately flooded with an immense sense of gratitude and love. Having them as part of our birth team was an absolute game-changer. From our first in-person meeting to our last postpartum visit, my husband and I felt supported, understood and empowered. The extensive conversations we had prior to the birth experience prepared us as completely as possible for what expectations to have going into labor. The calm reassurance, knowledge and experience they shared with us during the birth itself gave us the confidence we needed to make decisions that fit our personal wants and needs. With their help, we always understood the options the doctors presented to us and we were able to make clear informed decisions as the birth changed course. I am especially grateful for the postpartum home visits, from teaching us how to use the very confusing baby wraps, to helping us navigate life as new parents with intentional conversations and questions. They were the perfect support system during the most precious and intense moment in my life and I will forever be grateful for their guidance and love.”

-Molly Milroy

"Roxy was an indispensable presence during my labor with my daughter, Olive. Not once during my two day labor, which began at the birth center and ended at the hospital, did I feel anything less than protected, empowered, safe, and cherished. Roxy transformed what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience into the most positive and awesome event of my life. She blends her comprehensive understanding of the birth process with an almost otherworldly capacity for compassion and comfort. Roxy is part angel, part cheerleader, part best friend. Olive's birth wasn't easy, but never once did I feel fear or panic, only loved and supported. My husband and I included our doula service on our baby registry, and it was the best parenting choice we've made so far."

-Melina Coogan

“I feel so grateful that I was able to have such supportive, loving, beautiful people welcome my children into the world. Evan and Roxy were my doulas for both of my births and even though both experiences were incredibly different I felt safe and held by these two women. They are incredibly intelligent and informed people who have the rare ability to share and inform without making their audience feel lesser than. I never felt judged for the choices I wanted to make before, during, and after birth. To have two women normalize and empathize with me during the times in my life when I have been at my most vulnerable was priceless. I will tell and retell my children about these women so that they know the love and strength that surrounded them when they entered the world.”

-Juliette McNamara

"My husband and I are so grateful to Roxy for serving as our birth doula, and we feel so fortunate that she worked with us.  Roxy's compassion, calming presence, and expertise were invaluable during labor and in the weeks leading up to it.  I cannot imagine getting through the labor experience without Roxy's help; at every step, she had just the right words and ideas to calm me and help me garner the strength to do what needed to be done. In the postpartum days, her energy, support, and practical advice were so welcome and helpful.  She truly brightens my day every time I see her.  I cannot recommend her highly enough."

-Caroline Mclean

"No birth is predictable, and having an advocate and trusted advisor and friend was essential for us. I can honestly say that without Roxy, we would have felt so lost and alone. Roxy brought us compassion, wisdom, levity and joy, deepfelt empathy, and constant physical and emotional support when we needed it most. Roxy also provided us postpartum support with breastfeeding, co-sleeping and general care. She seems to intuitively know what is needed. When I experienced postpartum depression, she was again there with sympathy, knowledge, empathy, solutions and resources, and love. The process of pregnancy, labor, birth, and post-partum is an incredible adventure, but one we are not always armed with the knowledge and emotional capacity to handle on our own. Roxy is a stalwart. She is joyful and encouraging in harder times, calm and fearless under pressure, and provides well-researched, unbiased information about all aspects of birth and postpartum.Roxy made an enormous difference for us on this journey. I am forever grateful for the positive and compassionate impact Roxy has had on my path to Mamahood."

-Kaycee Eckhardt

“Evan and Roxy are truly a dynamic duo. They are the perfect team combining their extensive knowledge to offer everything you need (and more!) in your pregnancy and birth journey. I felt seen, heard and gently accompanied every step of the way. Every time I encountered a difficulty and I had to either make a tough decision or just process my feelings they were right there with me accompanying me in the process. My husband was so grateful for the support and guidance he received from them as well. I really can't imagine going through such an epic journey without them! I'm forever grateful.”

-Aleli Lauria

“What do you say about Roxy that hasn’t already been said about Beyoncé? She is pure magic-When I met her I knew I was home, safe, understood, seen. Much like the sun you can’t even look directly at her-she shines too damn bright!

Roxy I can never give back to you what you gave to me as my doula. You carried me into motherhood, you were by my side each step of the way, you helped save Fin’s life. I am forever grateful to have shared this birth journey with you. So here’s to you Roxy, happy birth day, you friggen Diva. May you always treat yo’self and just do you. My doula, my friend. Love you.”

-Avery Latronica

“Roxy is kind, gentle, intuitive, fierce and strong. Throughout my pregnancy having Roxy there for me was incredible! Any question I had or support I needed, she was always there. Having Roxy on your side felt like having a very knowledgable friend who is always there for you anytime you need her. When we originally decided to work with Roxy as a Birth Doula, I had not realized how much support I would actually get during my pregnancy, I had thought it was more about that birth. I felt such intense support as we got closer to the birth, because my son was 1.5 weeks late, she was very helpful in reminding me to remain patient, take care of my body and to help me remember to enjoy our last few days as a couple before we became a family. Looking back on that time, I realize that we took full advantage of that and will always remember those days. The support we felt from Roxy during the birth was remarkable. It was absolutely wonderful to have my husband and Roxy there by my side throughout the whole experience. I always felt support, there was never a time when I wasn't being taken care of, massaged, comforted, and loved. For my husband, it was really helpful to have a birth professional help guide him in the best way that he could support me. Because he had never experienced birth before, this was really helpful and made him feel confident in the ways he was helping me. It took some of the pressure off, knowing that if he needed to do something, I would have someone there with me. Roxy's gentle support and encouragement, as well as kind suggestions of moving from one position to another was incredibly helpful. Her ability to help and calm through massage, aromatherapy, pain coping techniques, and helping access the situation and guide it towards the next best location/position was perfect. Overall, her light sense of humor, and calm and open personality made her really comfortable to be around--which is what you want at your birth. I feel very positive about my birth experience, I felt strong, supported and loved during the entire experience--which I believe is definitely the result of having such a strong support team. We love Roxy! Roxy is the best! She is who you want by your side during such a transformative, intense and remarkable experience. She is a positive, strong and empowering energy that everyone should feel during their birth. If we have another baby, we will definitely use her again and have already recommended her to a handful of our friends!”

-Ariel Zijp

"Working with Roxy was the best decision we made during our pregnancy, and she's still the first recommendation we make to newly pregnant friends. My husband and I used Roxy from prenatal through birth and postpartum, and most recently even for some babysitting and date nights. Her help and support have been invaluable for us. During our son's birth Roxy was an incredible support for both me and for my husband. Her steady presence and her depth of knowledge helped us feel safe even when things didn't go according to plan- she made the experience much less stressful than it would otherwise have been. We also really appreciated her postpartum support with breast feeding and just giving us some breaks for things like baths and naps! We have said many times since our son was born that we couldn't imagine doing it without her!"  

-Molly

"We had a birth experience that wasn't the smoothest: 38+ hours from beginning to end with all sorts of medical interventions resulting in an unplanned C-section.  Of course we planned for a natural vaginal delivery, but that just wasn't in the cards!  Roxy was a completely supportive advocate throughout the whole experience.  Not only did she choose to stay with us the entire time providing her regular (and exceptional) doula services, she also proved to be an invaluable resource when our birth became more "medical" in nature.  Roxy wielded the torch, guiding us through induction options, drug interactions, an epidural and ultimately the C-Section.  She helped us slow things down and create space when important decisions had to be made, reduced complicated medical terms into simpler language we could understand, nudged us to ask about alternative options the medical staff did not offer, and did all of this while maintaining excellent rapport with the Mission Hospital staff.  Our birth threw a lot of twists and turns at Roxy and she handled it all brilliantly.  More importantly, she empowered us to feel confident about each decision we made, turning a potentially traumatic birth into a beautiful one.  We were so lucky to have Roxy with us for the birth of our daughter.  We recommend her wholeheartedly."

-Andrea

"Roxy was such an essential and priceless part of my positive birth experience. She was gently assertive, perfectly balancing all she had to offer with respecting my own changing needs and wants. At the beginning I sort of thought that my supportive husband and excellent birthing class would be enough to get us through. But as soon as we were past early labor, I NEEDED Roxy’s calm, reassuring voice guiding me through every contraction. She helped my husband know exactly how to be involved in every moment. During transition, I was so relaxed I actually slept between contractions. Roxy read me so well that somehow she’d give me what I needed without me saying anything. I would think “thirsty” and she’d have Gatorade at my mouth.  It was really amazing. I think that giving birth without a doula would have been  such a hard thing to do. Roxy really was my lifeline."

-Meg

"Well... hiring Roxy as a birth and postpartum doula was like hiring a older, wiser sister- she knew just what to offer when it was needed and she helped prepare us for things we had no idea were coming. The birth experience was amazing and she was right there even taking pictures despite never actually seeing her with a camera out! Postpartum was intense and she would come over and take the baby, do laundry and make lactation cookies with an air of confidence that made me realize everything was going to be OK. I’m so grateful for her help and assurance that a happy healthy pregnancy, delivery and baby were possible and available to us! There is enough stress, worry and anxiety that come with having a baby but Roxy helped us shrug it off and embrace all the good stuff instead. And the good stuff is oh so good!!"

-Shannon Cornelius

"Roxy was my birth doula and postpartum doula.  She is dependable and very knowledgeable when it comes to pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Having her by my side during labor made my birth experience feel safe and grounded.  She helped me stay calm and supported through the entire process.  I honestly do not know what I would have done without her.  As my postpartum doula I felt really comfortable with her in my home. I was able to share with her all of my concerns and questions without feeling judged.  We could talk about the details of the birth that I had forgotten and she was helpful in processing everything that happened. She makes you feel like she is always there if you need her and has a tremendous amount of knowledge when it comes to babies. I was really impressed with her experience and how passionate she is about her work.  I am beyond grateful and feel so blessed that she was a part of my birth story and has now become a dear friend."   

-Melissa Terrezza

“I am struggling to put into words just how much Roxy's support and guidance meant and continues to mean to me as a new mother. Roxy worked with me, my husband, and my brand new baby girl for 8 weeks after the birth. She taught me how to feel comfortable and most of all CONFIDENT with so many aspects of motherhood. She was professional, kind, friendly, and she has left a lasting impression on my heart and soul. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of birth and postpartum doula services!”

-Genna Harris

Roxy is a strong, intuitive, fierce, gentle, compassionate warrior for women and families. I have watched in awe as she cares for women in labor and continue to learn from her wisdom. She is a gift!

-Laurie Jenkins (Midwife)

“I am so glad we hired Roxy to be part of our pregnancy & birth team! She did an incredible job of reassuring our nerves while pregnant and anticipating our needs during labor. Her presence was so calming. She made me feel like I was laboring at a spa, and stuck around after the birth to feed me lasagna while I held my new babe :) Roxy has definitely found her calling, and I am so glad we got to witness it first-hand! <3”

-Sarah Hada

“During my wife’s pregnancy, Roxy’s knowledge about complicated birth decisions helped ease many of our fears. Questions that felt overwhelming to us for were broken down by Roxy as she explained the pros and cons, latest research, and followed up with emails that included credible resources. She didn’t have an agenda or motive, just the facts. She normalized the birth experience and gave me peace of mind that no matter what happened during birth, my wife would be supported. She valued my role as a partner and that I was experiencing an emotional transition as well. She was available to listen, to share her experience assisting other fathers, and helped me know what to expect. All of this support during pregnancy was wonderful, but where Roxy really shined was during my wife’s labor and birth. She was so intuitive to everybody’s needs and had an uncanny knack to be exactly where she needed to be, say exactly what needed to be said, and do exactly what needed to be done. Roxy was funny and light hearted in between contractions but then could immediately pivot to being a comforting guide through each contraction. Even her help with little logistical things like putting my wifes hair up and working Spotify were a huge help in an otherwise stressful moment. When we ultimately decided to transfer to the hospital, it was so comforting to have Roxy with us. She knew everyone at the hospital and vice versa which made us feel so much more safe and comfortable. Roxy is warm, down to earth, and not intimating despite her obvious expertise in the birthing process. I couldn’t have been the supportive partner I was without her constant help and presence. Overall, Roxy was such an indispensable member of our birth team. I feel a deep respect and admiration for her work and would strongly encourage any family having a baby to include Roxy on their team.”
