I am a Birth & Postpartum Doula in Southwest Florida. I understand that welcoming a newborn comes with joy, exhaustion, and a flood of emotions. Bringing a new baby into the world is one of life’s most profound transitions, and no family should navigate it alone. My role is to provide nurturing, hands-on support so you can focus on what matters most—resting, healing, and bonding with your baby. Whether it’s meal preparation, newborn care, emotional support, or tending to the household, I step in with the gentle, intuitive care of a village housewife—so you can feel truly held during this sacred time.

Hey there! My name is Sarah Becker. I am a Certified Holistic Birthkeeper, Certified Placenta Preparation Specialist and (soon to be) Lactation Consultant. I have completed both the Breast-Milk Scientific and Breastmilk & the Infant Microbiome courses from Microbiome Courses. I believe that birth is (usually)best left undisturbed. I also believe that nature is medicine. I have a love of learning and will continue to absorb all that I can, especially if it's anything about breastfeeding. I have a 6 year old daughter and love spending time outside preferably near water.

Recent review

I cannot recommend Taylor enough! She met with me prenatally and helped me feel truly prepared and confident going into my breastfeeding journey. She took the time to educate me on everything I needed to know, helped me collect colostrum before delivery, and made sure I was set up to pump both in the hospital and once I returned home. What meant the most to me was her support throughout every stage of my journey, even when things didn’t go according to my original plan. After an unexpected C-section and a very difficult recovery, I combo fed for the first week before ultimately deciding to transition to formula feeding. Through it all, she never made me feel judged or pressured, only supported. She was there for me not just with feeding guidance, but also through all of the emotional ups and downs that come with feeding your baby as a first-time mom. Her compassion, knowledge, and encouragement made such a difference during one of the most vulnerable times in my life.
