About Me

Hello! I am Taylor Maude Love (she/they) a queer, Black, white, Filipino, and Indigenous multiethnic American from Los Angeles, California, currently residing on Kumeyaay land (also known as San Diego, CA). I am a space holder and full-spectrum doula who is passionate about somatic healing and bringing people together to create expansive spaces of trust and care through a trauma-informed lens.

I have supported families with a wide array of backgrounds through the postpartum period for over 10 years and became a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula in 2023. My entry role as a full spectrum doula was in Brooklyn, NY where I worked with clients who were facing housing insecurity and/or involvement with incarceration. Walking alongside families through these tender, transformative seasons is truly one of my callings.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in a deeply client-centered approach. I uniquely curate each session using my clients' desires and needs as the compass. Whether through pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, or any reproductive experience, my goal is to create a container where clients feel held, supported, and deeply cared for every step of the way. I believe that no two clients, pregnancies, births, or postpartum journeys are ever the same, and I honor that uniqueness in everything I do.

My offerings are infused with anti-oppressive, inclusive, trauma-informed, affirming, and accessible care. I meet each client exactly where they are, with respect for their values, their body's wisdom, and the choices that feel right for them.

Overall, my goal is to help every client feel held, supported, and deeply cared for as they move through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
