About me

As a Trauma-Informed Responsive Doula and Childbirth Educator, I provide holistic, compassionate care to individuals and families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My work centers on creating safe, empowering, and healing experiences for those who have been impacted by trauma, helping them navigate the perinatal journey with dignity, confidence, and support of their mental health and well-being for a successful pregnancy journey. I approach each client relationship with deep respect for their lived experience and autonomy, integrating trauma-informed and responsive principles of safety, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and cultural responsiveness. From the first prenatal session through postpartum recovery, I focus on identifying emotional triggers, fostering body awareness, and supporting informed decision-making. I help clients develop personalized antepartum, birth and postpartum care plans that emphasize consent, comfort, and self-advocacy that honors their voice and their birth story. My professional practice is grounded in continuous learning and reflection. I regularly pursue advanced training in maternal care, trauma-informed and responsive care, reproductive justice and perinatal mental health to remain current with best practices and to strengthen the quality of support I offer. By integrating both advocacy and education, I aim to break cycles of intergenerational trauma and promote emotional resilience for every family I serve.

I met Kristan by chance at a prenatal appointment to see my ob and she was the most caring, knowledgeable person that I had ever met. She attended my birth, although the office visit was our only in-person encounter. She understood what I needed, prayed for me and my baby and stayed with us because we had no one else. My baby turned one and she still shows up as sweet and loving as the day we met. She is the best thing that my baby and I needed.

Kristan Perry-Robinson is not only professional but aware of fathers wanting to be more involved with this process. She educated me on topics I was not aware of and showed me opportunities where my involvement mattered in my significant others journey through pregnancy. I feel more prepared than I ever was previously and will recommend her services to anyone deciding to bring new life into this world!

Mrs. Perry-Robinson is not only very knowledgeable and informative, but ensures that the individuals she is working with understand all of their options when it comes to their care. She takes the time to really get to know each individual, and leads with compassion. Working with her would ensure you are heard and advocated for.

Kristan has been in my life for a very long time. She gave me sound advice when I was pregnant with my oldest and prenatal support was amazing. During delivery she helped coach me to make the delivery as seamless as possible and after delivery for the first six months she was always around if I had questions.
