About Taylor

Hi, I'm Taylor Clarke-Cameron, a birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator based in New Jersey. Since launching my doula practice in December 2024, I've had the privilege of supporting 15 families and attending 13 births, and every single one has deepened my commitment to this work. Before stepping into birth work, I spent over a decade as a school administrator — advocating for individuals, navigating complex systems, and building trust with families during some of the most pivotal moments of their lives. That foundation shapes everything I do as a doula: I show up informed, steady, and fully in your corner. My mission is simple: every birthing person deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported — no exceptions. I am proudly affirming of all families, including single parents, multicultural and multi-religious families, LGBTQIA+ families, parents with disabilities, parents who are neurodivergent, and those growing their families through adoption. My Approach Universal Support, Personal Touch Birth is universal—it's happened across cultures, centuries, and countless galaxies of human experience. Yet YOUR birth is uniquely yours, a wonder that deserves celebration and support tailored specifically to your needs. Whether you're a single parent writing your own heroic story, part of a multicultural or multi-religious family blending beautiful traditions, navigating parenthood in the LGBTQIA+ community, a differently-abled parent, a neurodivergent parent, or creating your family through adoption—I am here for YOU. Your journey matters, your choices are valid, and your experience deserves nothing less than stellar support.

Taylor was my birth doula, and I truly feel it was divine intervention that she came into my life—especially since my son was born on her birthday. From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive, informative, and intentional in supporting both me and my husband. She created a detailed binder for us with guides on what to expect, postpartum care, exercises, and nutritious foods that were safe for both me and my baby. The information was so thorough that I never felt the need to search elsewhere. One moment that deeply stood out to me was when I shared that I wanted to play Surahs during my labor and delivery. At our next visit, Taylor had printed out different Surahs along with explanations of their purposes, making it easier for me to choose what I wanted to hear. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to me. I also appreciated her honesty and professionalism. If she didn’t know something, she would say so—then either refer me to my midwives or research and follow up with me. During labor and delivery, she was calm, knowledgeable, and attentive. She impressed the medical staff, made me feel safe and advocated for, and ensured my husband felt supported and confident asking questions. Taylor made a huge impact on my first delivery, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. Even now, she continues to send monthly emails with updates on my son’s development and what to expect as I heal. Taylor is amazing, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about what she does.

Frequently asked questions

I'm a first-time parent and feeling overwhelmed. How do you support someone who has no idea what they're doing?

First-time parents are actually my favorite to work with because your openness to learning is incredible! There's no such thing as a "stupid" question in my universe. I meet you exactly where you are—whether you've read every book or haven't opened one yet. We'll explore your preferences together, practice comfort measures, discuss what to expect, and I'll be right there with you when things get real. Remember: nobody is born knowing how to be a parent. We figure it out together!

Will having a doula interfere with my partner's role during birth?

Absolutely not! I'm here to enhance your partner's support, not replace it. Many partners worry they won't be needed, but actually, having a doula often makes partners feel MORE confident and involved. I can suggest ways for them to help, give them breaks when needed, and ensure they're taking care of themselves too. Think of me as the expert backup that allows your partner to focus on being your loved one, not your medical support person.

How do you support families who aren't traditional? We're [single parent/LGBTQ+/multicultural/etc.]

This is exactly why I do this work! 🌈 Every family constellation is beautiful and deserves stellar support. I've specifically chosen to serve ALL families because I believe love makes a family, period. Whether you're single, partnered, married, polyamorous, adoptive, multicultural, LGBTQ+, or any other beautiful combination—I'm here for YOU. I take time to understand your unique needs, respect your relationships, and ensure you feel completely supported and celebrated.

I'm interested in both birth and postpartum support. Do I need to choose, or can I have both?

You can absolutely have both! Many families find that having the same doula for birth and postpartum creates beautiful continuity of care. I already know your birth story, your preferences, and your family dynamic, which makes postpartum support even more personalized. We can discuss combination packages during your consultation to create the perfect support plan for your entire journey.

What's this sliding scale payment option about? How does that work?

I believe every family deserves quality support, regardless of their financial situation. 💝 During our consultation, we'll have a confidential conversation about what works for your budget. The sliding scale allows me to adjust pricing based on your individual circumstances—whether you're a student, between jobs, have high medical expenses, or other factors affecting your budget. No family should go without support due to finances alone.

When should I hire a doula? Is it too early/too late in my pregnancy?

It's never too early or too late! Some families hire doulas as soon as they see that positive pregnancy test, while others call me when they're already in labor. Ideally, I love to start working with families in the second trimester so we have time to build a relationship and thoroughly prepare together. But honestly? I've supported families who hired me at 38 weeks, and we made it work beautifully. Your timeline is YOUR timeline! 🕐

What happens if you're not available when I go into labor?

This is every family's biggest fear, and I totally get it! While I maintain a very limited client load to ensure availability, I always have a qualified backup doula ready. If I'm unavailable, your backup doula will have all your information and birth preferences. Plus, remember that labor is often longer than people expect—there's usually plenty of time for me to get to you. 🌙
