I’m Taylor Louise, mother to “a bit of TLC” and two divine daughters, doula, energy healer, and psychic.
Welcome to your sacred space, you have found it for a reason! I am a mother to two beautiful daughters, a birth and post-natal doula, PPROM/ Special Care Nursery mama, reiki practitioner, and naturally gifted psychic medium. I have spent the last 4 years fine tuning my gift through many many courses to strengthen my abilities to best be in service of spirit and now also to women starting their journey into motherhood.
I have lived within the Wollondilly and Macarthur regions of Sydney for the majority of my life, growing up in Oakdale surrounded with horses and paddocks to run through, nature, I’ve simply always just been a country girl with a gift and a touch of a witchy soul!
I am a lover of a good dirty chai, country music, a kitkat chocolate and a warm fluffy blanket on a rainy day; can you tell I’m a Taurus?! I love comfort and to comfort others. I am so beyond passionate about spirituality, energy management and ensuring every female gets the birthing experience and support they naturally and rightfully deserve!
After a kind nudge from my absolute biggest inspiration - my chiropractor - my dear friend Amber who held me so strongly through my pregnancies and postpartum said “GO for it, FEMALES NEED THIS SERVICE !!!!”. That night I went for it and I made the steps to create “abitof TLC” with a headstrong attitude that I need to support women as they honour their body and instincts, and assist them in bringing their envisioned, unique birthing support experience to life.
My “why” for creating and servicing AbitofTLC is my birth trauma. 1 in 3 mothers experience the birth of their baby as traumatic, and I am that 1 in 3. Preterm Prelabour Rupture of The Membranes (PPROM) affects 3% of pregnancies and is the cause of 30-40% of preterm births, and I am that 3%. My birth trauma and what I endured is my biggest drive to create this business, to become a birth and postnatal doula, to create a service where I can support what every birthing female is entitled to. AbitofTLC is a safe space where I can share my gift, my service, having easily accessible and affordable equipment hire and purchase to support your drug free labour vision. Abit Of TLC is a service where I strive to validate ALL mothers of all Birthing experiences. Birth Trauma doesn’t just occur because of NICU and hearing “others have it worse than you , your experience is nothing compared to others”, THAT statement I heard many times and it confused me and made my own postpartum so much harder to heal through… You can have birth trauma and have a healthy baby, You can have birth trauma and not “nearly die” , Birth Trauma isn’t a competition & I will ensure you get the support you deserve no matter.
I WILL Validate you, I see you and I will hold you .
I have based my service from my own personal experience with:
Pregnancy
PPROM
Trauma of being neglected / alone through my labour
Birth trauma
MY Special care nursery experience
Navigating PPA/PPD/PTSD
How I used spirituality and reiki to fuel my healing
Navigating the self-guilt from my preterm labour and birth
And pregnancy after PPROM, special care nursery, and a preterm birth.
I am here to sharing my healing and services to best hold other women through their own birthing and postpartum journey, to ensure no one is ever left alone, to empower women, to remind them of what we are so very capable of doing so instinctually and naturally! I want a woman to never have to choose between their baby or partner, I want to care for Mama so Dad is able to be in this powerful moment with you. Together. United. Never separated.
I will forever remember Nurse Lucy, the SCN nurse who looked at me one morning and said “I will help you Mama”. That one sentence made me feel seen and held, and has stuck with me nearly two years later. I want to be a Lucy for you, and to make all pregnant mama’s feel that support and comfort.
“A Bit Of TLC” drives me to be an advocate in such delicate times, to be a part of the movement that lowers birth trauma statics, to bring change in birthing environments and experiences, whilst offering a tailored spiritual twist to the already magikcal experience childbirth is.
I remember in the thick of birth trauma and PTSD, I kept asking my guides and past loved ones “WHY? WHY was this my experience? Why did my baby’s life get put at risk? Why, why, why?!”. All I was told was… “It will all make sense soon”.
After two years, and having my second baby, it clicked.
THIS IS MY WHY.
I had to go through it, feel the trauma, see the trauma, smell the trauma, heal it, then learn the art of transmuting the pain into love and support. I learnt that through this experience, I am here to be of service.
I simply want to add a bit of TLC to your already beautiful and magical journey.
