Bearing Meaning Doula Collective

Our names are Juliana Marton and Candace Taylor. We are founders of the new community organization, Bearing Meaning Doula Collective. As doulas, we offer compassionate emotional, physical, and informational support through pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postpartum. The support we offer is rooted in the midwifery model of care and individualized to the particularities of each woman, baby, and family. We comfortably support individuals in a variety of settings, from the home to the hospital.

Presently, Juliana is practicing and studying to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) through apprenticeship with Salisbury Natural Family Health Midwifery. She is a trained and certified doula and lactation counselor. Candace is practicing and studying to become a certified doula and has a strong educational and professional foundation in working with and supporting women as a graduate of Smith College and a staff member at the Women’s Center at the University of Vermont. Additionally, we are both graduate students in the College of Education & Social Services at the University of Vermont.
