MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I’ve been a part of the Cleveland birth scene since 2019 and during my tenure, I’ve worked with many families in varying capacities. Most of my time was spent as a labor doula, childbirth/baby-feeding educator, and co-owner of Forest City Doulas. I’ve taken a step back from attending births and postpartum work, but I have desperately missed connecting with and empowering modern families in northeast Ohio to take control of their perinatal experience.
I am thrilled to be offering private childbirth, baby-feeding, and newborn care education aimed to give you evidence-based information with respect to your goals and family’s needs.
Taylor is a certified labor doula, postpartum and newborn doula, childbirth educator, and infant feeding. She continues to learn and stay relevant to best practices and new research to give her clients the most up-to-date and evidence-based information. Taylor also has a degree in early childhood education.
