Becoming a doula stemmed from a deeply personal journey for me. As a mother of 5, I have personally experienced the highs and lows of childbirth, including heartbreaking miscarriages, and scary pregnancy complications that left me feeling vulnerable and alone. These experiences ignited a spiritual calling within me to support and comfort other mothers during their birthing journeys. I saw the need for a compassionate advocate to stand by their side, providing guidance, emotional support, and a comforting presence throughout the transformative process of bringing new life into the world. It is through my own trials and triumphs that I found my purpose as a doula, driven by empathy and a heartfelt desire to be a source of strength for other women during one of the most significant moments of their lives. The cost of doula services can be a concern for many expecting mothers, but I understand the importance and value of having a supportive doula by your side during this special time. Every woman deserves access to doula support, which is why we can work together to create a personalized package that fits not only your needs but also your financial situation. I believe in making doula services accessible and affordable to all women, ensuring that you have the care and guidance you deserve throughout your pregnancy and childbirth journey.

Emily was outstanding as our doula. She eased our worries and remained with us throughout the whole process. She was very informative and helpful throughout the whole process. She made us feel at ease. She ensured our needs were met and guided us through our pregnancy and birth. She went beyond our expectations, and even assisted us after birth as well with our breastfeeding struggles. We were so lucky to have her, and she was able to capture pictures for us so that our focus could be on the birth, each other, and our beautiful baby. It was an amazing experience with Emily and one that we will definitely love to have her for again for any future births we have.

Hi, my name is Kasey Tolliver. I’m a mom of two, a doula, and a community health worker. My journey into birth work began after my first child was born by C-section. I struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety, and during that challenging season I found comfort and connection in local moms’ groups. Being surrounded by mothers with similar experiences lit a fire in me, I knew I wanted to support women through these vulnerable, powerful moments. I became a doula to deepen my knowledge of childbirth and to better serve families. After completing my certification, I went on to achieve a successful, non-medicated VBAC with my second child—an experience that strengthened my confidence and reinforced my belief in the power and resilience of birthing women. Today, my mission is to remind women of their strength, ensure families receive the care and respect they deserve wherever they choose to give birth, and help create the safest, healthiest experience possible for both mom and baby.

My own journey through infertility revealed the beauty and strength of the birthing process, inspiring me to dedicate my work to empowering mothers to experience birth with confidence, peace, and informed choice.

Recent review

Rachel was an exceptional doula who provided invaluable support throughout my birthing journey. She effectively addressed my concerns regarding potential deviations from my birthing plan, ensuring that my preferences were respected even in seemingly optimal circumstances. Rachel emphasized the importance of trusting my body’s cues and the readiness of my baby during the birthing process. Her unwavering support and accountability partner role were instrumental in helping me refocus and maintain a positive mindset during the birthing process. While my birthing experience may not have been flawless, it was undoubtedly aligned with my goals and values. I am deeply grateful for Rachel’s guidance and would highly recommend her services to anyone planning or currently experiencing pregnancy.

Hi! I am a certified nurse midwife! I love providing women with un-rushed, gentle care. I focus on shared decision making and informed consent. We have 60 mins for new patient visits and 30 min for return patients- this is for both GYN and pregnancy visits. This extra time allows you to have all your questions and concerns addressed without feeling the pressure of an overly booked provider. I attend births at Missouri Baptist Medical Center and have a fabulous collaborating OBGYN for any patients with complications out of my scope of practice or those needing surgical intervention. I have a background in home birth and birth center birth where I practiced for 4 years- I give that same warm, friendly, present care in the hospital owned practice setting!

I have also received training from Spinning Babies, Evidence-Based Birth, the VBAC Link, and Gena Kirby's Rebozo Course. ​ If you choose me as your doula, you can be assured you will have a knowledgeable support person with you, not only at your birth, but throughout your entire pregnancy!

Recent review

We hired Alysha after our previous doula was not available, and we couldn’t have been more happy! I loved her constant support, helpful suggestions to help with pain relief during labor, and helpful kind demeanor during labor. I really didn’t want to get induced and Alysha was very supportive and helpful with different options and more information to help us make all the decisions during labor. She also worked super well with the hospital staff and was very encouraging to help while supporting me in my birth preferences. Finally, even after my baby was born she stuck around to make sure I felt comfortable latching. She even prepared me a snack before she left to make sure my body was being nourished after the hard work of labor. I would suggest Alysha to anyone who wants a well versed and supportive doula. Also, I really appreciated all the helpful tips on ways to prepare for labor in our prenatal meetings. She even talked about nutrition in our initial interview before I even hired her.

I believe anyone can have a positive birth experience when you feel empowered. When you make your own decisions over your body, the more positive the outlook will feel. You deserve support and care that aligns with your goals and considers your needs and desires to yours and your baby’s greatest wellbeing. Ultimately, the decisions concerning your pregnancy and birth, are yours to make. As a doula, I am here to support you concerning your own well being and trusting that you know what is best for your family. I work closely with you using informed choices, culturally appropriate and collaborative model of care. I support your right to make conscious choices, providing ongoing education, and work with you to plan your individual preferences in a nonjudgmental and loving way.

Recent review

Marisol was the most knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful doula one could ask for. She was there for me most my pregnancy and in labor. Whenever I had questions, especially being a first pregnancy she always had answers and gave me peice of mind. I had horrible back pain and she suggested several stretches and exercises that I could do on my own and some that my husband could help with and they were really helpful in relieving pregnancy pains. My labor started right when she finished with another labor and she was there for me full of energy. She would ask the nurse to bring me items like a peanut ball, a mirror, or dimming the lights to help me get though labor pains and to feel as comfortable as possible. She always had a very calm voice and touch. I would highly recommend using Marisol as your doula. There is so much information and helpful tips she as a doula will provide for pregnancy, labor, post partum and breastfeeding that is not provided by your OBGYN

Recent review

After watching all of the beautiful and peaceful homebirths I was very disappointed that I was advised to go to the hospital due to my son being measured too small during my third trimester. After spending a night there I got very nervous and anxious and didn't quite know how it was all going to work out, as I was hell-bent on wanting a natural birth without being pushed by the Gynaecologist to induce my contractions. And in walks the lovely Chelsea...a clinical doula, something I knew existed (a doula) just not provided as a service in the hospital! Chelsea and I instantly connected and with her soft and sweet voice she helped me with breathing exercises, taking my mind away from the intense extractions. She even brought her own natural coconut oil with which she massaged all the areas that hurt or simply needed the pressure. She also spoke with the Gynaecologist and reassured my contractions we're coming every 10/5 minutes or so, which gave us the opportunity to initiate my labour naturally. I heard lots of horrible birth stories, especially those in hospitals, but I can honestly say I had an absolute wonderful birth thanks to Chelsea. Truly a gift from above to may have had you there with me. Both my partner and mother still ask about her and would love to see her again. We are eternally grateful for her and wish her all the best!
