About me
Hi, I'm Taylor Clarke-Cameron, and I am beyond thrilled to begin this journey as a birth & post-partum doula! 🌟 While I may be relatively new to the world of birth-work, I bring over a decade of experience as a school administrator, nurturing and advocating for individuals and families. That same passion has inspired me to step into birth-work, where my mission is to ensure every birthing person feels **informed, empowered, and supported** throughout their journey. 🤍 Whether you're a single parent, part of a multicultural or multi-religious family, in the LGBTQIA+ community, or navigating the path of adoption, I am here for YOU. Birth is universal, yet every experience is uniquely yours—a wonder of the galaxy. 🌌 Let’s work together to create a birthing experience that is as strong, vital, and extraordinary as YOU are. 💪✨ 💌 DM me to learn more about how I can support you during this transformative time.

Service introduction
As a DONA International-trained Birth & Post-Partum Doula, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized support throughout your birthing journey. My services include 24/7 availability via phone call or text message to address all your questions and concerns, ensuring you feel informed and empowered every step of the way. As a Birth Doula, I offer two in-home prenatal visits where we will explore pain management techniques, discuss how to prepare your body for birth, and develop a personalized birth plan that reflects your preferences and goals. During labor, I provide continuous care from active labor onward, offering emotional support, physical comfort measures such as massage, aromatherapy, and non-medicated pain management techniques, and guidance in breathing strategies to promote relaxation and confidence. Additionally, I help your support person feel equipped to advocate for and assist you during labor. My care extends beyond delivery, with initial postpartum support at the hospital and a follow-up visit to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood. My goal is to create a nurturing and supportive environment, empowering you to have a positive and fulfilling birth experience. As a Postpartum Doula, I work on supporting families in the postpartum period through compassionate care, education, and practical help, including recovery, infant care, feeding support, sibling adjustment, meal prep, and light household tasks. I offer virtual, weekend, and overnight support for families

Frequently asked questions
I'm a first-time parent and feeling overwhelmed. How do you support someone who has no idea what they're doing?
First-time parents are actually my favorite to work with because your openness to learning is incredible! There's no such thing as a "stupid" question in my universe. I meet you exactly where you are—whether you've read every book or haven't opened one yet. We'll explore your preferences together, practice comfort measures, discuss what to expect, and I'll be right there with you when things get real. Remember: nobody is born knowing how to be a parent. We figure it out together!
Will having a doula interfere with my partner's role during birth?
Absolutely not! I'm here to enhance your partner's support, not replace it. Many partners worry they won't be needed, but actually, having a doula often makes partners feel MORE confident and involved. I can suggest ways for them to help, give them breaks when needed, and ensure they're taking care of themselves too. Think of me as the expert backup that allows your partner to focus on being your loved one, not your medical support person.
How do you support families who aren't traditional? We're [single parent/LGBTQ+/multicultural/etc.]
This is exactly why I do this work! 🌈 Every family constellation is beautiful and deserves stellar support. I've specifically chosen to serve ALL families because I believe love makes a family, period. Whether you're single, partnered, married, polyamorous, adoptive, multicultural, LGBTQ+, or any other beautiful combination—I'm here for YOU. I take time to understand your unique needs, respect your relationships, and ensure you feel completely supported and celebrated.
I'm interested in both birth and postpartum support. Do I need to choose, or can I have both?
You can absolutely have both! Many families find that having the same doula for birth and postpartum creates beautiful continuity of care. I already know your birth story, your preferences, and your family dynamic, which makes postpartum support even more personalized. We can discuss combination packages during your consultation to create the perfect support plan for your entire journey.
What's this sliding scale payment option about? How does that work?
I believe every family deserves quality support, regardless of their financial situation. 💝 During our consultation, we'll have a confidential conversation about what works for your budget. The sliding scale allows me to adjust pricing based on your individual circumstances—whether you're a student, between jobs, have high medical expenses, or other factors affecting your budget. No family should go without support due to finances alone.
When should I hire a doula? Is it too early/too late in my pregnancy?
It's never too early or too late! Some families hire doulas as soon as they see that positive pregnancy test, while others call me when they're already in labor. Ideally, I love to start working with families in the second trimester so we have time to build a relationship and thoroughly prepare together. But honestly? I've supported families who hired me at 38 weeks, and we made it work beautifully. Your timeline is YOUR timeline! 🕐
What happens if you're not available when I go into labor?
This is every family's biggest fear, and I totally get it! While I maintain a very limited client load to ensure availability, I always have a qualified backup doula ready. If I'm unavailable, your backup doula will have all your information and birth preferences. Plus, remember that labor is often longer than people expect—there's usually plenty of time for me to get to you. 🌙
