About Robin
As a doula, educator and healer I am passionate about the nervous system, neuroscience and shamanic healing arts. I love illuminating how we can create optimum conditions for our birth experience and welcome newborn babies into the world in peace and joy!
I believe in the innate intelligence of the body and I am passionate about helping women get deeply in touch with their inner-wisdom.
Born at home in Melbourne in 1981, I have lived and worked in Sydney, Los Angeles and Calgary. I now live in Tasmania with my husband and 7 year old son. I love to work with clients all over the world who desire to strengthen their spiritual connection and step into their birthing power.
My Training
In 2018, I trained in San Fransisco, CA to become a Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator with Dr Vivian Keeler, VP of HypnoBirthing International.
I have 15 plus years experience in breath-work, yoga and therapeutic/somatic body-work, and I am a certified Hawaiian Temple Massage therapist specializing in energy medicine. I have studied Spinning Babies techniques and womb healing therapies including Arvigo therapy. I offer this integrated knowledge to help you get deeply connected to your body, your baby and your birth partner, so you can experience birth in a way that feels good to you.
Birth Temple
Birth Temple is your sacred online space to feel safe, be inspired and to connect with your innate power as a woman.
I founded Birth Temple with a deep passion for the well-being and rights of birthing women and a love for the HypnoBirthing® method. If you’ve found me and you’re reading this, you probably already have a sense of how powerful you are. Yes! When you close your eyes you can sense your baby, you can sense what your body needs, you can sense the innate intelligence
of your body.
I believe that women are highly intuitive and sensitive when they are pregnant and I am here to support and guide you to trust yourself more deeply than ever before. Too often women are made to feel like pregnancy and birth is a complicated medical event, but in reality birth is a natural physiological process and a rite of passage that is as unique and special as you.
Birth belongs to you. Being in touch with your own wisdom can mean the difference between a traumatic birth and a peaceful one. Finding the right birth team who respects and supports your wisdom is key.
About My Birth Journey
My birth changed the course of my life. I was born at home, and after studying Hypnobirthing I realized I also wanted to give birth at home. I hired the most gentle and respectful midwives, and enjoyed a home birth that was calm, gentle and empowering. I gave birth exactly as I had visualized — standing up and in happiness and joy!
My son was born peacefully and I came out of my birth feeling so powerful.
And… I discovered a huge secret — women are more capable and powerful than conventional birthing systems would have us believe. I enjoyed an ecstatic birth experience, and yet most of my friends were coming out of their birth experiences feeling traumatized, disappointed or even abused by their care providers.
This prompted me on a path of becoming a Birth Educator and Guide, as I felt strongly about giving every woman the chance to realize her own agency and strength during pregnancy and birth. I believe every woman deserves to have access to knowledge and to birth in power, peace and respect.
My Approach
My aim with HypnoBirthing is not to “teach” you how to birth, but to give you the tools and education to make informed decisions and to find your own birthing wisdom and confidence. I’m here to help you face your fears around birth, move through them and guide you to create a calm, empowering birth experience for yourself.
The Transformational Birth Support and HypnoBirthing Classes I offer are designed to assist you to transform fear into confidence; doubt into positive expecation; and self-rejection into self-love.
My wish is that your journey brings you into deep and intimate relationship with yourself, your partner and your baby. This is where empowered birth begins.
Are you ready to leap into your wisdom with a wide-open heart? Yes?! Ready to trust yourself? Yes?!
I am so excited to support you on your birthing journey!
Robin XO

Testimonials
“Thank you so much, Robin!! We have spent the last 48 hours looking back on our birth in awe…we felt so prepared for our journey with the help, love and care you provided. We are so thankful for you, the positive impact you had on our birthing day, and our overall well-being. We both feel like we are better people and better parents for attending your class. Thank you for choosing this work, and for being a guide for us through each step. You are an amazing human, and we are so grateful for you!”
“Your meditation must have done the trick…we went into early labor around 9:45pm last night, and baby was born at 10:27am this morning. Thank you so much for your love and support these past 6 weeks. The homebirth was intense but amazing, and we are so grateful to have a beautiful boy, and to be able to sleep in our own bed tonight!”
“Robin gave me the space that I needed to be heard and to talk through not only my first two births but also my mother's birth of me, making connections and giving me strength where I hadn't seen any. She helped me shift my perspective that with each of my births, I have gained strength, experience wisdom and evolved which was something that I needed to hear as I head into my 3rd birth full of anxiety and fear stemming from being a sexual assault survivor who experienced birth trauma. Robin has beautiful intuitive insight and incredibly intuitive, connected and compassionate. I trust her completely to lead me into a deep relaxed state where I could stay forever, but she also has the tools to bring me back to the present when we are needed. Thank you so much Robin for giving my vulnerability space and refuge.”
“Robin is more than a birthing coach. She's a birthing shaman: a spiritual mentor who guides her students through the sacred ceremonies that are pregnancy and birth. Hypno-birthing is not something she teaches. It's something she lives, as Hypnobirthing's underlying principles are not only about bringing new life into the world, but also about being alive. Anyone familiar with meditation and manifestation will find that they already possess the vocabulary, techniques, and mindset for hypnobirthing. From there, all you need is the birthing shaman, and there's none better than Robin. She cares deeply about the families under her wing, she has a huge heart, and she's a lot of fun. Here and now, she is such an integral and inextricable part of our birthing journey that we simply cannot imagine it without her.
“Learning Hypnobirthing with Robin has been one of the most calming, supportive, and fulfilling parts of pregnancy for both my partner and myself. Robin has a deeply intuitive and nurturing spirit that beautifully supports the birthing process. She is quite literally an angel living on earth! Early on in my pregnancy I carried a lot of fears based on what certain medical professionals were telling me and Robin was the positive voice I needed to lift me up and through that time. I am so grateful for the relaxation techniques, affirmations, visualizations, meditations and the continued support I feel from Robin.”
The HypnoBirthing course with Robin got my partner and I on the same page and he will be an integral part of our birth. I would recommend the course and Robin to everyone! We chose to do this course with Robin and her open mind and intuitive nature meant we got to cover more than just the course material. No question was too silly or out there - she rolled with everything and came up with thoughtful and enlightening insights. Her gentle and embracing energy and passion for women's empowerment and birth got us excited and left us also feeling empowered! We had an amazing homebirth and I’m so grateful we studied with Robin.
Robin did an amazing job of guiding us through the Hypnobirthing theory and practice. Our sessions together were informative and always relaxing; they not only prepared myself and my partner for birth but were beneficial during pregnancy as well. I felt supported physically, emotionally and spiritually”.
