Treya Taylor - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Treya

I’m a Perinatal Educator based in Minneapolis, MN, with a deep passion for supporting Black and Brown families. After my own challenging and disheartening labor experience with my first son in 2019, I felt called to make a difference in the lives of others who may face similar challenges. For almost six years, I’ve been advocating for our community, working to ensure that families receive the care, knowledge, and support they deserve. In May 2023, I became a certified Perinatal Educator through Commonsense Childbirth, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving many families. I take a holistic approach to perinatal education, focusing not just on the physical aspects of pregnancy and birth, but also on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My work is rooted in empowerment, education, and advocacy for equitable, culturally relevant care, and I’m committed to making a positive impact on the lives of the families I serve.

Frequently asked questions

If I have state-sponsored insurance, do I pay out of pocket?

No. If you have state-sponsored insurance your insurance will cover the cost of your birth and postpartum care. They cover up to 7 prenatal visits, birth and 7 postpartum visits. If additional support is needed, please feel free to reach out and we can work something out for you and your family.

What is a doula, and how can you help me during my pregnancy and birth?

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. I offer guidance on everything from birth planning and pain management techniques to breastfeeding support and newborn care. My role is to empower you and your partner, helping you feel confident and supported every step of the way. I provide continuous care, listening to your needs and advocating for your birth preferences.

What’s the difference between a doula and a midwife?

A midwife is a healthcare professional who provides medical care during pregnancy and birth, including monitoring your health, delivering the baby, and offering postpartum care. A doula, on the other hand, focuses on non-medical support, providing emotional, physical, and informational assistance. While midwives manage medical aspects of your birth, I am there to ensure you feel informed, calm, and supported throughout the process.

How much do your services cost, and do you offer payment plans?

My doula packages range from $60 to $2,500, depending on the type of support you’re seeking. I offer a variety of options to suit different needs and budgets, including birth support, postpartum assistance, and childbirth education. I understand that every family’s situation is unique, so I offer flexible payment plans and sliding scale options for those who need them. Please feel free to reach out to discuss a plan that works for you.

What happens if you’re unavailable when I go into labor?

In the rare event that I’m unavailable when you go into labor (due to unforeseen circumstances), I will have an experienced backup doula who is fully briefed on your birth plan and preferences. You will have the opportunity to meet with my backup ahead of time so you can feel comfortable and confident in their support.
