Libby Taylor

Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

When a woman feels safe and undisturbed, her body knows how to open.” Inspired by the teachings of Ina May Gaskin Libby Louise Taylor — Birth Doula Hello, I’m Libby Louise Taylor, a birth doula supporting families across North Wales, Liverpool, Manchester and the wider North West. I am a mother to two beautiful young boys, both born at home. I welcomed them gently into the world with breath, movement and song. These experiences deepened something I had always felt within me — a profound connection to birth and the quiet power it holds as a rite of passage in a woman’s life.

To me, birth is a sacred unfolding. It is a moment where strength and softness meet, where a woman crosses an ancient threshold and meets a new version of herself. My work is deeply mother-centred, offering calm, grounded and compassionate support to women and families as they welcome their babies.

I trained with Conscious Birthing in Avalon and my approach is also inspired by the work of Sara Wickham and Ina May Gaskin. I honour both ancient birthing wisdom and evidence-based knowledge, holding space for birth in a way that respects the depth of tradition while recognising the value of modern understanding.

Creating a sense of stillness, reverence and gentle ceremony within the birth space is at the heart of my work. My intention is to help cultivate a calm and protective birth bubble, where mothers feel safe, respected and supported as they soften into the natural rhythm of labour and welcome their babies into the world.

I support births at home and in hospital, walking alongside families with humility and deep respect for their choices. I also value nurturing harmonious relationships with midwives and birth professionals, helping to foster trust and cooperation so that mothers feel held within a peaceful and supportive environment.

Alongside birth support, I offer prenatal care, postnatal care and breastfeeding support, nurturing families through pregnancy, birth and the early days of motherhood. I am currently training with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers as I work towards becoming a lactation consultant.

My work is also informed by a love of herbal wisdom and therapeutic sound. During pregnancy, optional sound sessions can offer a deeply restorative space for mothers to slow down, rest and reconnect with themselves and their growing babies.

I believe birth is inherently not a medical event, but a natural and deeply human process. At the same time, birth unfolds in many different ways. Whether a mother chooses to birth at home, in hospital, with or without medical support, she deserves to feel safe, respected and gently supported throughout her journey.

It is a privilege to walk beside mothers and families during this profound time — holding space with care and reverence as new life arrives and a new chapter of motherhood begins. 

As a nurturing, earth-centred doula, I offer gentle, one-to-one support both online and in person for mothers seeking guidance through pregnancy, the postnatal period, and their breastfeeding journey. Rooted in a mother-focused approach, I hold space for you with warmth, respect, and understanding—honouring your instincts and unique path into motherhood. Please feel free to reach out with any enquiries; I would be honoured to support you.



With love always, Libby xx
