NEW PARENTS WORKSHOP
From Partners to Parents
A daylong workshop for couples preparing for life after baby.
Hosted by Robyn Alagona Cutler &
Elyse Schroeder of East Bay Birth Collective
The transition to parenthood is one of the biggest shifts a couple will ever face.
And yet… so many people are left to figure it out alone.
This workshop was designed to change that.
Together with Elyse Schroeder (The Top Knot Doula), I created From Partners to Parents as a supportive, educational space where couples can prepare for life after the birth, not just the birth itself.

* Kind Words from Clients *
“Robyn helped us decrease resentment and increase intimacy after our baby came.”
We went to see Robyn 10 months after our first child was born. We had been really struggling with communication and intimacy, since before our baby came, but it got worse with lack of sleep. Robyn helped us tremendously. We learned how to really listen to each other and when we do have conflict we now have skills to get through it. Robyn also helped us decrease resentment and increase intimacy, helping us prioritize time together, for our marriage.
