We are deeply grateful for the doula support Taylor provided to our family when we welcomed our second child.  Taylor’s warm and down-to-earth spirit made it easy for us to invite her into our home.   So much so, we renewed our contract several times over many months!

Taylor’s whole-family approach was a deciding factor for us, as we anticipated it to be a big transition for all, but especially for our older child. Not only did she provide skilled newborn and postpartum care, but she was eager to connect with our 4 year old.  He gravitated to her kindness and playfulness, making them fast friends.  

Taylor is perceptive and proactive, quickly picking up on our routines and stepping up to help with little to no delegation.  She sees something that needs to be done, does it, and does it well.

As a postpartum mother, I found her to be caring, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental.  She was a listening ear, a sounding boarding, and insightful conversationalist. 

We cannot imagine our postpartum journey without Taylor.  She was a grounding presence in an otherwise chaotic season of family life.  We highly recommend Taylor and her doula services, knowing she will bring the same high quality support to many lucky families.

Taylor came into our lives while we were navigating a very unexpected long stay in NICU with our daughter who was born 8 weeks premature.  We were struggling to manage household tasks, care for our 5 year old while also travelling back and forth from the hospital ensuring someone was bedside with our baby at all times.  Taylor was a warm, comforting presence in our home during a very vulnerable time.  She quickly picked up cooking recipes that met our 5 year olds unique dietary needs and blended into our family life with ease.  She works quickly and efficiently each shift and is lovely to talk to about all things baby, pregnancy and family.  She is non judgemental and happy to jump into any task that needs doing no matter how daunting (ex: organizing two large freezers full of frozen milk).  When we were eventually home from hospital with our daughter, Taylor continued to support our family with accessing breastfeeding supports in the community.  She is great with children and babies alike and our 5 year old boy absolutely adored playing with her.  We highly recommend Taylor to any family seeking post pardum support, especially those with older children who need a little extra attention during this big transition.  Thank you Taylor for all you did to support us during what was a very challenging chapter for our family xoxo

Taylor was an incredible addition to our care team when we needed it most. Our daughter had terrible colic and we were in a rotation of bouncing her on a ball constantly for the first four months of her life. It was extremely stressful and draining for our family. Taylor came in to relieve us and give us some much needed rest. We trusted her completely and she always had a calm, steady energy and positivity that made us (and our daughter!) feel much at ease. It is not easy to hand someone your screaming baby and walk away, but Taylor remained steadfast and supported our family through the hardest parts.  We are so grateful she was there when we needed her most and would not hesitate to recomend her to other families.
