Taylor Smith

Maternal–infant health professional with extensive experience supporting families across the prenatal, perinatal, and postpartum continuum of care. I bring a service-oriented, patient-centered approach grounded in evidence-based lactation care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and culturally responsive support. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Interdisciplinary Doula with hands-on experience in inpatient hospital settings, community-based programs, and private practice. My work has included high-acuity inpatient lactation support, home-based maternal–infant care coordination, peer counseling, and program development serving diverse and Medicaid-insured populations. Throughout my career, I have partnered closely with nurses, midwives, physicians, and community organizations to improve breastfeeding outcomes, strengthen continuity of care, and expand access to maternal health resources. I am highly skilled in client education, crisis-sensitive communication, documentation, data tracking, and managing complex caseloads while maintaining compassion and accuracy. In addition to direct care, I have experience in advocacy and systems-level work, including Medicaid reform initiatives, doula workforce development, volunteer training, and curriculum creation. I am comfortable operating in both clinical and non-clinical environments and bring strong organizational, technical, and communication skills to every role. I am currently pursuing my Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN, RN) while continuing to advance my work in maternal–infant health. I am passionate about improving care delivery, strengthening health equity, and supporting families during one of the most critical periods of their lives.

We did the Sacredsong package with Gabe. I wish that everyone could have access to the support that Gabe provided during our prenatal, birth and postpartum experience. She answered all of our many questions through out and offered answers to the questions we didn't even know to ask. We felt as prepared as we could be before the birth. And when baby came a couple weeks early Gabe was great at helping over the phone during contractions then transition to the hospital for the birth. She helped guide me and my spouse throughout the contractions and into the birth of our first child. She made sure we understood and communicated clearly with the midwives through out. My spouse and I are incredibly grateful she was our support person for the birth and then for postpartum. The follow up session a few days after we got home was really helpful to be able to talk through and process the birth. She was great at teaching my partner how to belly bind and guide them to help support my recovery. If we decide to have another child Gabe would be one of the first people we reached out to to get back on her books. And I have already recommended her to a couple friends. My husband wanted me to add that he felt without Gabe there to support him he would have had a more difficult time. But Gabe was able to support both of us and so he was able to be more mentally and physically present especially during the hardest parts of labor.

Beth Polanik

Hi, I’m Beth…a DONA-trained Birth & Postpartum Doula with a heart for empowering women and supporting families as they grow. While I may be “newer” to the formal doula world, my passion and experience run deep. For decades, I’ve walked alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender early days of parenthood—helping mamas feel seen, supported, and confident in their strength. I’m the proud mother of one amazing adult human who has flown the nest to the fresh air and beauty of the NC mountains. My journey into birth work began more than twenty years ago during my own pregnancy, when I discovered the transformative power of being truly supported and held in that sacred season. Since then, I’ve continued to learn and grow—earning my B.A. and M.Ed. in Education and gaining a wealth of hands-on experience nurturing families and little ones. My deep interest in natural health, social–emotional development, and attachment has inspired me to pursue further training in infant mental health, dyadic relationships, children’s yoga, and herbalism. I believe in caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and in meeting each family exactly where they are. When I work with families, my goal is to hold space for birth and postpartum experiences that feel calm, connected, and empowering. I blend evidence-based practices with a gentle, holistic approach that honors each mother’s intuition and journey. One of my favorite quotes beautifully reflects what I believe: “Whenever & however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, & your spirit for the rest of your life.” ~Ina May Gaskin

Beth provided doula services for our first labor that was intended to be a home birth but turned into a hospital transfer. Beth was great and stuck with us for the whole entire 3 day process. She checked in multiple times before labor started as well and was super thorough with making sure she undersetood my husband and I's desires for our birth. During the actual labor Beth was great support to not only me but my husband as well, trying to protect our energy as much as she could, and during our transfer, Beth was super encouraging and made me feel supported even though it wasn't in our original birth plan. Thank you again Beth, we are so grateful for you!

Hi, I'm Toni! I am a postpartum doula and experienced infant care provider with years of hands-on experience caring for babies and supporting families. I am also the mother of six children and the proud grandmother of a little girl, so nurturing babies has been a meaningful part of both my personal and professional life. I own and operate a licensed 5-star childcare program, where infant care has always been the area I enjoy most.. My approach is calm, nurturing and dependable. I have experience with feeding and bottle preparation, diapering, soothing, safe sleep practices, infant routines and supporting parents as they adjust to life with their baby. I am now expanding my professional focus into newborn and postpartum care throughout the coast, with the goal of specializing in the first months of a baby's life. I am especially interested in providing daytime (weekends only), evening and overnight support that allows parents to rest while knowing their baby is being cared for with patience and attention. I believe every family deserves support during the postpartum period, and I would love to learn more about your family's needs.

I had a wonderful experience with HumbleWombs. She made me feel so relaxed during the mist of my labor. She advocated for me and made sure it was about what was best for me during my pregnancy and labor. She spent lots of time with me after my labor and supported me through breast feeding. I couldn’t have asked for a better DOULA. Nas❤️

Hi, I’m Anna!

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in early intervention, developmental therapy, childcare leadership, and family support, giving me the opportunity to help families navigate everything from welcoming a new baby to supporting children’s growth and development. I believe every family deserves to feel informed, supported, and confident as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years. My approach is compassionate, practical, and free of judgment. Whether I’m helping parents prepare for life with a newborn, providing hands-on postpartum support, offering developmental guidance, or supporting families through the everyday joys and challenges of early childhood, my goal is to create a calm, encouraging space where families feel empowered and supported. It is a privilege to walk alongside families during such an important season of life.

We had a wonderful experience with Anna, who supported our family overnight for several weeks. From the very beginning, she made an effort to arrive early, learn our routine, understand our baby’s needs, and make sure she knew how we preferred things to be done. Our baby could sometimes be quite fussy at night, and she always handled those nights with patience and calm. She was attentive, dependable, and caring, and we felt completely comfortable having her care for him overnight. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands, and having her support allowed us to get some much-needed rest. We’re very grateful for all of her help during those early months and would absolutely recommend her to other families looking for a kind, reliable, and caring postpartum doula.

Bernadett is truly a gift to this world and my family! I was so nervous about having a stranger come into my home with my precious little one but that anxiety disappeared the moment I met her! She is so caring, knowledgeable, attentive, nurturing, patient,reliable, and kind. She helped my son through challenges with sleep and my own postpartum needs when I had no other supports. It is with no exaggeration that I see this lovely lady as a child care angel! Highly recommend! She will treat you little one like an extension of her own family and you will never find a better doula 💜

— Farren K., review of Bernadett Lamarche

October 2026

We trusted Bernadett with our first, and she's the reason we didn't think twice the second time. When we found out baby #2 was on the way, there was no search, no comparing, no interviews. We just called Bernadett. That says everything. A second baby is a whole different experience. You're not just recovering and caring for a newborn, you're also trying to keep life steady for the little one who's already here. Bernadett understood that without us having to explain it. She stepped in exactly where we needed her, so we could rest, heal, and still give our older child the attention they deserved during such a big change. What stood out most this time was how she supported our whole family, not just mom and baby. She brought calm into a house that could easily have felt chaotic, and somehow made everything feel manageable. Having her there again felt like having someone in our corner who already knew us and genuinely cared. If you're expecting your first, your second, or beyond, Bernadett is the one you want. We're so grateful she's been part of both of our babies' first chapters.

October 2026

Hiring her as both my birth and postpartum doula was one of the BEEESTT decisions I made for my family. From the very first meeting, she made me feel truly heard, respected, and supported. Throughout my pregnancy and labor, she honored every decision I made, kept me informed every step of the way, and brought a calm, steady presence that helped me feel safe and comfortable, even in the most intense moments. After our daughter arrived, she cared for her with so much love and tenderness. I trusted her completely from day one and never hesitated to ask her anything. She's warm, easy to talk to, and never once made me feel judged. She's incredibly knowledgeable, deeply kind, and the definition of professional. I'm endlessly grateful she was part of such a special, life-changing time for us. If you're looking for a birth doula, a postpartum doula, or support with anything in between, look no further. You'll be in the best hands.💛
