supporting you through all birthing outcomes

what is a full spectrum doula?

A non-medically trained care professional offering educational, physical, and emotional support for birthing people throughout the full reproductive journey.

This is including but not limited to preconception, prenatal, birth, postpartum, miscarriage, and abortion support.

Synergy Support Space care offerings are infused with the anti-oppressive, inclusive, trauma-informed, and accessible care foundation set by Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings, where I received my full spectrum doula training and certification. As a full spectrum doula, I approach my care work with self & social awareness, curiosity, and cultural humility.

"Reproductive justice doesn't just look at one small piece of racism-it looks at the whole puzzle. It is such a core aspect of collective liberation that it is in fact collective liberation: it is through reproductive justice that we can achieve true equality, inclusion, and autonomy" —Sabia Wade ꩜

We cannot control pregnancy, birthing, or postpartum outcomes, but we can equip ourselves with an abundance of support to be held through it all. All sessions are client-centered using curiosity to explore your needs and desires. Here are some options for how we can spend our time together.

Synergy Support Space engages with a deeply client-centered approach uniquely curating sessions using your desires and needs as the compass to create a container for a pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum experience where you feel held and supported.

No client, no pregnancy, no birthing experience, no postpartum journey is the same.

FAQs

  • I have been working with families officially as a full spectrum doula since 2022. Supporting others throughout their reproductive journeys has been with me for as long as a I can remember. This calling goes as far back as attending the birth of my brother at 6 years old.

    In addition to my work as a Full Spectrum Doula, I have been a caregiver for families with infants for over 10 years.

  • I have supported 10+ birthing families throughout their prenatal/birthing journeys and 30+ families throughout their postpartum journeys. I have supported a wide range of birthing people through varying postpartum experiences some of which include navigating having a baby in the NICU, raising twins, having an undesired pregnancy, and holding space for those who have experienced loss.

  • Seeking out postpartum doula support during your pregnancy is suggested so you can have time to adequately prepare for the support you will need postpartum.

    That being said, it’s never too late to book this service!

  • Yes! Postpartum is forever! Whether you are 2 days or 20 years postpartum, you deserve postpartum support!

    I offer doula services at any stage in your postpartum journey that you feel you need or desire support. I will meet you where you’re at in creating sessions that feel relevant to you and the postpartum stage you are in.

  • Currently, I primarily offer my services in Brooklyn and Manhattan & occasionally in Queens and The Bronx.

    If you live outside of NYC and would still like to work together, please feel free to connect with me! I am open to travel & offering my services outside of NYC under aligned circumstances.

  • As a full spectrum doula, I believe that all reproductive journeys are deserving of support. That being said, my focus areas at the moment include the full range of postpartum care, providing support for all birthing outcomes. Individual prenatal sessions are currently available with labor and delivery support coming in the future.

    I am continuing to build out resources for services that are outside of my scope of care. Check out our Community Resources page!

  • Soon! I am working on a womb support group offering in addition to offering 1:1 womb support services sometime in Summer 2025.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING…

  • Taylor is an incredible force. She is a deeply connected and spiritual person—she has the ability to put all beings to ease. We used to joke that no one made our child sleep as deeply as Taylor, and that gift comes from the connection our child felt to her inner spirit that resonates calm, love and peace. We are so pleased to work with her and know she will be a tremendous help in the childbirth and childcare journey of many in our community. As a Black mom, physician, and community advocate, Taylor is the real deal. We feel blessed to have her in our circle.

    ~Dr. Stella Safo, MD MPH

  • Taylor has a gift for caring for others in a thoughtful, compassionate way. Not only is she someone I trust implicitly with the wellbeing of my daughter, but I enjoy the grounding energy she brings with her when she enters my home. The birthing process and postpartum period can be a vulnerable time. Taylor offers support without judgement or pressure. Whether it was comforting my fussy infant, helping me navigate lactation and feeding struggles, or guiding me through the unpredictability of early parenthood, Taylor brought a sense of peace and reassurance that I know will be invaluable to other expectant and new parents. She has the heart for this work.

    ~Anna H.

  • Taylor is incredibly special to our family. We trust her completely. Taylor is an amazing communicator, a thoughtful and attuned caretaker and an absolute joy to be around. This work is so intimate and there is literally no one who I think does it better than Taylor. Having her in our lives during early parenthood has been an absolute blessing.

    ~Zhanna Gerlovina

  • Taylor has been watching our (now) 3 year old daughter for most of my daughter’s life. We are so grateful to work with her.Taylor has a warm, calming demeanor and a steadiness and confidence in everything she does. From the time my daughter was little, she has soothed her and made her feel safe and loved. Taylor is wonderful to communicate with, knowledgeable, consistently reliable, and mature beyond her years. Taylor exudes confidence, focus, and decisiveness in a way such that if I ever have another child, I would be honored to have Taylor provide doula services. 

    ~Mackenzie Schoonmaker

  • Taylor is warm and caring to our baby. Never flustered by difficult moments. She’s thoughtful and clear in her communication with us. She’s become part of the family.
