Hi, I’m Robin., a birth doula offering a deep respect for your choices, your instincts, and the kind of birth experience that matters to you. I am a Certified Birth Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Perinatal Patient Advocate, a HypnoDoula, and GentleBirth Childbirth Educator. I bring more than 12 years of experience supporting women and families. I accept Medicaid and private insurance. I believe birth is an experience you can prepare for—not just something that happens to you. My goal is for you to enter labor feeling informed, supported, and lovingly cared for, whatever choices you make. I’m also a CASA, a volunteer at my local hospital, and deeply invested in the families and communities of NWA. I accept Medicaid and private insurance, and an inability to pay would never prohibit me from helping a family. I support women and families throughout the beautiful Ozarks.

Hello everyone! My name is Sondra and I own Arkansas Doulas and Arkansas Breastfeeding Clinic. I'm a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doulas as well as an IBCLC. I'm passionate about supporting families on this journey so they feel heard, validated and supported. I've had the privilege of working with families in Arkansas for 14 years. My own experience as giving birth in Arkansas is what lead me to this work. I often tell my sons that they will one day understand how many lives they have impacted by simply just existing. They have helped mold and shape me into the professional I am today. This journey is yours, I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Becoming a lactation consultant has been a deeply personal journey for me. I remember the challenges I faced seeking accessible breastfeeding support and the frustration of finding that care wasn’t always within reach. I feel that no family should have to navigate these hurdles alone. I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders (speech-language pathology). After my husband and I welcomed our first child, I discovered my true passion in breastfeeding and lactation. I then completed my Certified Breastfeeding Specialist certification in 2020. I began a clinical internship in 2022 at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem, Utah, where I worked until 2024 in the mother-baby unit, NICU, and pediatric settings. I became an IBCLC in 2024 and started my private practice. My greatest joy is being a mom to my four children. I've experienced nearly every positive aspect of lactation, as well as its many challenges. My passion lies in offering support that is free of judgment and tailored to fit your family's unique lifestyle.
