Empowering Birth Journeys
Informative, comprehensive, and evidence-based support for parents.
About Me
My name is Taylor Kelly.
Hello! I'm Taylor Kelly, a mother of two living on beautiful Amelia Island, Florida.
​
My journey into the world of childbirth transformed 15 years ago when I watched the documentary The Business of Being Born while pursuing my degree in Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State University.
This one eye-opening experience made me realize how much essential information was missing from my education as a woman.
​
When I became pregnant, I committed myself to learning about evidence-based practices in childbirth. That’s when I discovered HypnoBirthing—a method that aligns with the physiological science of birth and advocates for the natural, empowered experiences that many women seek but often struggle to achieve in today’s medical environment.​
​
Through my courses, I aim to share the knowledge and tools that helped me navigate my own pregnancies. I believe every woman deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported during one of the most significant journeys of her life. I’m here to guide you in crafting your own unique birth story, ensuring you have the resources you need for a positive and fulfilling experience that you leave with peace and, of course, your precious little one(s).
​
I am so excited to with with you!
Benefits of HypnoBirthing
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has found that the relaxation techniques taught in HypnoBirthing lead to significantly improved outcomes and should be widely utilized and supported by hospital personnel. Research consistently indicates that mothers who practice HypnoBirthing experience any benefits including:
Restore Your Beliefs
Dispell the belief that birth is dangerous with proven relaxation and visualization techniques to eliminate the fear that society has conditioned us to expect with birth.
Vaginal Births
Higher rates of vaginal births and lower emergency C-section rates by 50+%.
Reduced Intervention
Decrease in medical intervention by up to 75%, including lower use of Pitocin and lower rates of induction.
Labor "Birthing Time" Outcomes
Significantly shorter length of labors by 3-5 hours and "pushing" time reduced by 26%. Fewer complications overall, and reduced incidence of preterm labor by 67%.
Outcomes for Baby
Improved outcomes for baby including higher APGAR scores, increased ease of breastfeeding and fewer breech presentations by 45%
Outcomes for Mom
Lower rates of postpartum depression and increased comfort in labor. ​

Partnering with Your Provider
All healthcare providers should strive to create a positive birth experience - but it is up to you to know your rights and how to effectively communicate with your team.
Your Decisions Matter
As a pregnant mother, you have the right to make informed choices about your care. This includes the ability to decline any tests, procedures, or interventions that do not align with your preferences. If you feel uncomfortable with a specific staff member, you can request a different provider—your comfort and trust are paramount. I will help you learn about to ensure that your voice and the voice of your partner, doula, or advocate is heard throughout pregnancy and the birthing process.
Effective Communication
To foster clear communication, consider how you phrase your questions. Aim for open-ended inquiries that encourage detailed responses. For example, instead of asking, "Is this safe?" you might say, "Can you explain the benefits and risks of this procedure?" This is just one example of many that I will teach to help you gain the clarity you need to make informed decisions.
Respecting Your Birth Plan
Share your birth plan with your provider and ensure they understand your preferences. Discussing your goals and desires early on can help create a shared vision for your birth experience. Remember, it’s your journey, and your wishes should be respected.
By partnering with your provider and asserting your rights, you can create a supportive and empowering environment for your growing family.
