Grace Taylor
Pregnancy + Postpartum Doula
Hey there Māmā,
Welcome to Modern Village!
The business on a mission to support more Mothers and families through pregnancy and postpartum.
Hello :) I'm Grace - a Mum of two and doula in Hawkes Bay, NZ.
I am a trained doula also completing a degree in counselling. I weave knowledge of birth and counselling into my work helping you to:
- Prepare for birth and postpartum
- Be supported & held after birth
- Process your birth story when it hasn't been a positive experience
I bring a gentle energy to my work with Mothers. I am calm and kind, I do not judge, and I center you as the expert of your body and your baby/babies.
"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making Mothers... strong, competent, capable Mothers who know themselves and their inner strength"

"I found my session with Grace very helpful. It was a good feeling to share this unfiltered story of my birth and it should be something that is recommended to everyone in pregnancy"

"Grace made me feel safe to share my story and validated my feelings. She was great and I’m super grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her"
Mel, Hastings
Grace held space for me in such a genuine way that it allowed me to feel safe and be vulnerable when talking to her about my birth trauma. Grace has a nurturing and caring nature and is very empathetic. I am so glad that I reached out to Grace, it was the best thing I have done.
