For Mom
You deserve support, rest, and confidence as you navigate this beautiful, challenging transition into motherhood.
Because You Matter Too
In those first weeks and months after bringing your baby home, it's easy to pour everything into caring for your little one while putting your own needs last. But here's the truth: a supported mother is better able to care for her baby, bond with confidence, and truly enjoy this precious time.
As your postpartum doula, I'm here to care for you as much as I care for your baby. With over 15 years of childcare experience and having walked this path myself with two children, I understand both the joy and the overwhelm that comes with new motherhood
"The most important thing I learned was that it's okay to ask for help. Having Taylor there didn't just help with the baby—she helped me feel like myself again."
— Sarah M., Charlotte
Emotional Support & Encouragement
The postpartum period can be a rollercoaster of emotions. From the overwhelm of new responsibilities to the isolation that can come with long days at home, I'm here to provide a listening ear, genuine understanding, and non-judgmental support.
Whether you need reassurance that you're doing a great job, someone to talk through your concerns with, or simply a compassionate presence during a difficult moment, I create a safe space for you to express whatever you're feeling.

Rest & Recovery Support
Your body has done something incredible, and it needs time and care to heal. But rest can feel impossible with a newborn. That's where I come in—giving you permission and opportunity to actually rest while I care for your baby and your home.
Whether it's a few hours of uninterrupted sleep, time for a nap while I watch the baby, or just the chance to take a long shower without rushing, I make sure you get the rest you need to recover and recharge.
