History

Established in 2007.

Kate Taylor, MA, MT-​BC, doula, founded Creative Childbirth Concepts out of the need to inform birthing couples about music as a tool for comfort during labor and delivery and how music therapy is a research based practice that can impact their entire childbirth experience and parenting journey. The foundation of Creative Childbirth Concepts is rooted in evidenced based practices of music and music therapy during prenatal bonding and childbirth as well as basic principles of birth psychology, natural birthing and gentle parenting. Couples nationwide hire Kate for consultation on designing their perfect music playlist for birth and end up learning so much more about the process of birthing and how to elevate their prenatal experience using creativity. Kate has found a unique way to offer childbirth education by paring it with creative arts and music therapy applications to help turn your «informed childbirth» class into a creative, memorable and empowering experience.
