Danica
Hello! I'm Danica, a certified birth and postpartum/infant care doula. I am a traveling doula based in Frederick, Maryland and want to assist others in their birthing and parenthood journey.
In 2021 I welcomed my baby boy during the pandemic. The restrictions implemented caused a serious lack of support during the labor process and I wished I had someone to guide and support me as a first-time mom. It would have been valuable to have someone experienced and knowledgeable in my corner- a calming presence to be present, both physically and emotionally, every step of the way. In my time preparing for my own birth, my knowledge grew and I have since been a source of support and guidance for those close to me. I have always had careers in the healthcare field tending to and advocating for others, but nothing ever felt like I found my home. As a support person, I've enjoyed that role more than any other- I finally found my passion.
After being a support person for many years, I decided to become a doula. As a doula I have made it my goal to be a part of the village that everyone deserves by providing quality care and attention from the time you contact me, through the transition home with a new little one. I am an inclusive person and welcome diversity within my clients. I am open-minded and respect my clients ideals and beliefs- all are safe from judgement with me.
Gabby
Hi, I’m Gabrielle Taylor. I’ve been supporting mothers and newborns since February 2022, but my passion for women’s health began in my teenage years. I’m a proud mother of two—my children were born in 2017 and 2021.
​
My first birth, a cesarean, was emotionally traumatic and left me feeling unsupported and unheard. In contrast, the birth of my second child was an empowering VBAC, made possible by the compassionate presence of an incredible doula. That experience was truly life-changing—it showed me the profound difference that informed, empathetic support can make.
​
Now, my mission is to offer that same kind of transformative support to other families. Whether you're navigating your first birth or welcoming another child into your home, I’m here to help you feel confident, cared for, and connected. In today’s fast-paced world, motherhood can feel isolating—but I'm here to bridge that gap so you feel supported.
​
I’m also currently pursuing my nursing degree to deepen my knowledge and enhance the care I provide as a doula. I’m honored to walk alongside you during this pivotal journey.
