Welcome to Atlantic Body Care, where I, Taylore Paruch, am proud to offer you waves of wellness and anchoring support for your birthing journey.

I am dedicated to holding judgment-free educational spaces that honor your bodily autonomy and consent. 

My holistic approach combines evidence-based comfort measures with sacred movement, positional guidance, and nutrient-rich culinary nourishment. 

Hiring a doula is a wonderful step toward a birth experience that feels safe, not scary. Please reach out to chat about how I can support your growing family.

Lineage Doula

Hi! I’m Jasmine. I’m a white queer doula offering postpartum care, childbirth education, and lactation/feeding support in the south shore area. My work is to help lay the foundation for a supported pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. I became a doula after years of working with children and families and bring a deep reverence for babies and children. My hope is that experiencing care, respect, and support during your transition to parenthood has a ripple effect through your life, your family, and your community. Whether it’s evidence-based prenatal education, a reviving snack plate, or learning how to babywear, my support is aimed at centering your experience and building your confidence as a parent. ​

Over the past five years, I’ve worked especially with first-time parents, families expecting babies after loss, and queer families. It has been my privilege to support 70+ families postpartum and accompany the births of 30+ new babies. Outside of work, I am usually working on a knitting project, riding my bike to the beach, or trying to become a better gardener. I would love to incorporate the things that bring you joy into our work together. Get in touch to book a free consultation chat–I’d love to hear how I can support you.
