Kind Words from Clients

“My wife and I were very much on the fence about getting a doula, as we weren’t entirely sure what the point was. Now that we’re on the other side of it, we could not recommend Taylor more highly.
She was an incredible advocate for me while I was in labor, helping me to stick to my birth plan and helping to manage my wife’s anxiety as she saw me going through the pain of labor.

She offers a wealth of knowledge with no judgement in terms of what you decide you want to do. The nurses that were taking care of us were also very impressed with her.
Taylor was great at helping with pain management, made sure we were all staying hydrated and nourished, and even allowed for my wife to get a little bit of sleep during the 28 hour event.

When people ask me how my birth experience was, I say it was great - absolutely the best experience possible because my wife and my doula made such a great team.”

“Taylor was our doula for the birth of our first baby in March. I couldn’t have done it without her. She provided such essential support, knowledge and reassurance. Her encouragement through each contraction made a difference in how I handled labor. Taylor helped me work through my fear so I was able to look forward to birth. I wanted to birth without medication and with my own strength and with Taylor’s encouragement, I was able to do so.

Taylor was available 24/7 by call or text. She remained by the phone at the ready when we went to the hospital early thinking something was wrong. She stayed in contact with me during my long pre-labor, providing support and suggestions. She dropped everything and showed up so quickly when true labor began.

I really valued how Taylor supported my husband. As first-time parents, it would’ve been a lot on him to be the only support person. She was able to model confident support for him and help us decide when to go to the hospital.
She visited a few days after the birth to help us debrief and open up about our experience. It was such a joy seeing her with my baby. She helped them enter the world! I highly recommend Taylor Childs as a doula for whatever type of birth you’re planning! She was essential for us and I’m blessed she entered our lives!”

“From our first meeting onward, Taylor was an essential part of the birth of our son. She conducted the planning meetings with so much professionalism and attention to our goals and worries, which really inspired confidence early on. Her calm, confident professionalism and easygoing nature were recurring themes throughout our time with her. 

When my wife went into labor at 10 pm, Taylor quickly responded to my text and reassured us that she’d be available when we felt ready to go to the hospital. She met us there, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 4:30 the next morning. 

Throughout my wife’s labor, Taylor’s support was both practical and emotional. She suggested various labor positions, advocated for my wife’s comfort, and even handled simple but essential tasks like picking up breakfast from the cafeteria. She expertly answered every question we had. The answers were usually “This is perfectly normal,” but it doesn’t always feel that way in the moment, and her reassurance was invaluable. 

Looking back on the birth of our son, I can’t imagine doing it without her, and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly doula.”
