Elsie’s Essence LLC

Practice overview

I am a holistic Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor serving Houston, TX and surrounding areas. My passion for birth work grew tenfold after my own at home birthing experience with an amazing doula and midwife at my side. I was truly grateful for their guidance and the love they showed me as I brought my baby boy into the world. I love supporting the mother (and family) through the momentous transition that a birth and newborn brings.
I provide postpartum doula support at an hourly rate. I offer lactation support, overnight care, meals, belly bonding, yoni steams and complete household errands. Each mother is different so every postpartum shift looks different for my clients. I also provide in home and virtual lactation support at an hourly rate. These are one on one sessions where we can learn and trouble shoot your breastfeeding issues together!

Having Taylor help me with being a first time mom made all the difference. She is thorough and thoughtful and assisted me every step of the way. When I needed her expertise she was always available and offered prompt responses and or visits. I would recommend Taylor to first time moms like myself or even current moms. I look forward to being a client with her again with future pregnancies.

Taylor is very supportive and knowledgable. She was always available to answer any questions I had and had the best advice. She was attentive and hands-on every step of the way. She was truly a joy to work with.

Taylor is very good at connecting families to resources and transferring confidence in their ability to nurse their baby. Taylor does not operate from her own agenda and is very committed to advocacy and increased breastfeeding rates in the bipoc community.
