Hi, I'm Taylor Grimes-Bell
I'm a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and mother of two based right here in Charlotte, North Carolina. For over 15 years, I've had the privilege of supporting over 25 families during one of life's most transformative periods, the arrival of a new baby.
What started as a passion for working with children grew into a calling to support not just babies, but entire families as they navigate the joys and challenges of the postpartum period. I understand firsthand how overwhelming those early weeks can be, and I'm here to help make them a little easier, a little calmer, and a lot more enjoyable.
My Journey to Doula Work
Born and raised in Charlotte, I've always felt a deep connection to this community and a natural affinity for caring for children. My professional journey began over 15 years ago working in various childcare settings, but it was the newborn stage that truly captured my heart.
There's something profound about those early days; the vulnerability, the adjustment, the overwhelming love mixed with exhaustion. I watched new parents struggle with questions they felt they should know the answers to, saw mothers putting everyone's needs before their own, and witnessed the difference that proper support could make.
When I became a mother myself, everything I thought I knew was both confirmed and completely upended. The experience of caring for my own newborns; the sleepless nights, the feeding challenges, the emotional roller coaster, deepened my understanding and strengthened my commitment to this work. I knew what it felt like to need help and to be afraid to ask for it.
Now, with two children of my own and years of professional experience, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to every family I support. I've been there: in the trenches of new parenthood and I'm here to help you through it with compassion, knowledge, and genuine care.
