“Hi, I'm Melissa Brown! I am 38 years old and I was initiated into motherhood 16 years ago when I gave birth to my son, Zane. We have two female cats; Poppi radiant in gold fur and sleek baby Ami in black! I am a trained Doula, certified professional Cosmetologist and Registered Yoga Instructor (RYT 200). I primarily value well & wise authenticity, integrity, vulnerability, boundaries and connection between human beings and I love to foster these experiences. “What is a Doula? My main roles as a multidisciplinary doula is to offer emotional support and empowerment during the event of your child’s birth. Why should I choose you? As somebody who is both a mother as well as a woman who died for 12 hours and miraculously revivified without intervention, I am first and foremost experientially well qualified to understand this work in body, mind and spirit. I have received official certification for this work through Birth & Beyond KC. I can say with conviction that I am nourished by being chosen to offer my compassionate, non-judgmental presence during life’s most tender thresholds. My intention is to hold space for you with reverence, presence, and deep respect, so that you do not have to navigate these moments alone.

I feel so lucky to have had Melissa during labor. It was our first birth, and was a long + difficult labor as our son was not in an optimal position. Had it not been for the amazing support I had, I truly believe my labor would have felt very traumatic. Instead, I vividly remember how comforting and dedicated Melissa was through the night and into the morning. Her support made such a difference when I look back on the labor. I would highly recommend her to all parents!

Hi there! My name is Marisa and I would love to talk to you about how we could work to achieve your ideal birth! I became interested in birth work after my first daughter was born. I had a long and hard induction and was disappointed with how it went. I didn’t want anyone else to feel the way I did so I decided to embark on doula training. I am a registered nurse and bring a unique perspective to birth work. As your doula, I can help you make informed decisions about your birth while providing you physical and emotional support. I am a military spouse and Army veteran so I have lots of experience with military families! I would love to connect with you to discuss how I can help you have the birth experience you desire!

I 100% recommend Laura if you're looking for doula and post partum services! I had an amazing laboring experience because of all the ways she has supported me throughout pregnancy until I had my little one and even during post partum as well. We had multiple meetings during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy where Laura explained what her job would be as a doula. She gave me multiple resources during these meetings and over text to make sure I could be as well informed on all of my choices during labor as possible. Laura helped my husband and me with learning different labor positions and breathing techniques to help make my laboring as comfortable as possible. The day I went into labor Laura dropped everything to come and make sure I was okay and comfortable. She was extremely helpful and supportive to both my husband and myself throughout the entire process and there's no way we could have gotten through it as smoothly as we did without her! Laura also has multiple different options with payment if cost is an issue. So don't hesitate and call her if you and your family think you need the extra support!
