Sarah and Amy were great to work with throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey! They have a wealth of knowledge and are very kind and caring. Birthing classes with Sarah were a blast and so helpful for me and my husband as first time parents. It was such a blessing and relief having Amy at my birth to be an extra set of eyes and hands when needed. I felt confident she would honor my birth plan and advocate for me when I needed her to—and she did exactly that! I can’t recommend Birth and Beyond KC enough for any and all of their services!

My husband and I took all the in-person classes Sarah offers and it was amazing how prepared we both felt going into our birth as first time parents. Amy was our doula at the birth of our daughter and she created the most calming, supportive atmosphere you could possibly have in a hospital. I tell all my friends it felt like a home birth with the occasional doctor or nurse around. I cannot sing Sarah and Amy’s praises enough. They are truly incredible birth workers and my wish for the world is that every woman received the level of care they provided. Last but not least, Amy took some beautiful candid photos on the day of our birth that I will genuinely cherish forever.

Amy was an absolute God send to us! Being pregnant with my twins was very overwhelming, emotional and tolling to say the least but Amy and Sarah made me feel seen, heard and well taken care of. Without a doubt one of the best decisions I made was hiring Amy! I had my twins at home after 38 hours of laboring and Amy's knowledge and expertise got me through some extremely difficult moments.. and my entire birthing experience would have had a much different outcome without her. I would recommend her and Sarah to any pregnant mama, whether its your first or fourth, they will make a difference in your story! ❤️ Forever grateful for you two ladies!!!

We hired Sarah and Amy as our doulas for our first pregnancy, and I am so grateful we chose them — they were truly a gift during such a new and overwhelming journey. Being a first-time mom can feel scary, and having two knowledgeable, compassionate resources just a text away was invaluable. They were always prompt, supportive, and offered thoughtful, practical advice for every concern or question that came up. When it came time for delivery, Sarah was incredible. She advocated for my birth preferences, helped keep me calm and grounded, and captured over 100 beautiful photos for us to remember our daughter’s birth — something we will cherish forever. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. We’ll absolutely be using them again for our next baby.

Amy & Sarah are amazing and we were so lucky to have them by our side throughout pregnancy and labor! We took the childbirth classes with Sarah and found these to be very informative and helped us prepare for what to expect. Sarah was by our side throughout our crazy labor experience helping with positions to help things progress and was an amazing advocate for us! We are so grateful for all of the support we received!!

I hired Sarah for doula services for my daughter and her partner and they also took her birth classes. (Fall 2025 due date) My daughter was a young, first time mom, and it was important that the person who would be in this sacred birthing space with my daughter, would be a follower of Christ, a strong advocate for informed consent and bodily autonomy, and someone who my daughter felt comfortable with. I cannot overstate how pleased I was with the services and also what a pleasure it was just to meet and know Sarah! She was so knowledgeable, open, kind, responsive, gentle, reasonable, encouraging, and sensitive to the family dynamics. My daughter's birth experience was beautiful and memorable. I was so grateful to have Sarah there to advocate for my daughter alongside me. (Hard to think about those things when I was in 'mom mode'). She worked really well with the other healthcare professionals at the hospital (OP Regional). If youre reading this and considering a doula, I strongly encourage you to consult with her to see if it's a good fit. Sarah is a capable professional and a passionate advocate for women!

All the five star reviews you read here are legit and frankly, I'm surprised that there aren't more. If you’re even thinking about hiring doula support, Amy and Sarah are truly the best. They are professional, incredibly caring, and so deeply empathetic that they make the entire process far less overwhelming. From the very beginning, they listened to every concern I had and never once made me feel silly or unprepared. Thank you Amy and Sarah for everything you do, our family appreciates you both tremendously.

Sarah & Amy have been amazing helping out with our transition home from the NICU with our son that has some extra needs. We are so thankful for the support they’ve been able to provide helping with him as well as chores around the house!

I had an amazing wonderful experience with birth and beyond KC! They answered all my questions quickly no matter the time. And when it came to labor they were so attentive and knew exactly what to do to help labor progress and give comfort. I can’t recommend them enough!!
