Hello, I am Taylor Huskey, I have been a DONA trained doula since 2014, after I had my own second home birth. I truly believe birth to be an empowering and beautiful experience that helps cement the bond between baby and momma. I use many different techniques that are individualized per client according to particular needs, I am familiar with the most common types of birthing coaching on the market and use pieces from many to accomplish the joyful birth individually desired. I am a safe, judgement free, woman empowering person. I completed 2 years of nursing school as well and work very well in hospital setting with Drs and Nurses as well as bring my medical knowledge to the table. I am highly trained in postpartum care, and postpartum depression. I am also a huge advocate for breastfeeding and have attended many breastfeeding courses and trainings. I have taught childbirth classes and natural family planning, and would be happy to offer those services as part of my package.

I'm Teresa Estilow, an inclusive postpartum doula and Dare to Birth childbirth educator supporting the Phoenix and East Valley areas. As a parent who experienced my own challenges with my postpartum journeys, I was inspired to provide access to compassionate and empathetic support to new and again parent's in their 4th-trimester journeys.
