Beginning her working career in 2001, Robyn is also the Director of her successful Tasmanian counselling practice Robyn McKinnon Consultancy & Counselling Service, and developed a special interest in Perinatal Loss and Bereavement work after her own personal experience after the death of her firstborn son at 17 weeks in to her pregnancy. Recognising the significant gaps in support services, not only for families but also for front line workers, Robyn has worked to develop a number of local support groups, training programs and mentoring options to guide both families, support people and health professionals in the hope that this might make a difference for other families who experience the loss of a much loved baby.
