Families Deserve to Feel Supported
“Taylour is absolutely amazing to work with. I had a concern about my breasts and she picked up the phone to call me with no hesitation. She provided me with some direction and instructed me to speak with my doctor if it didn’t get any better. She was spot on with her analysis of the situation and I’m so glad I went to her!”
“I had a homebirth in 2022 with Taylour as my doula. She was an angel for my family. During my pregnancy, she stayed in contact with me. Any questions I had she would answer and anything she didn’t know she was excited to get the answer for me. Everything she did for my family made my homebirth experience 1000 times more than I could have expected. She provided the best support for my entire family while also respecting my wishes. She was the reason my family and I were comfortable, no matter what could have happened.”
