Find a Newborn Care Specialist Near Me in Joplin, MO

Hi! My name is Susan Preston. I am a Jesus lover, wife, mom of five, Gammy to one, and business owner. I live in Prairie Grove and serve families across Northwest Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. Caring for families in general is a joy, Postpartum care and birth planning are my passion. Being a doula is a calling I am extremely proud and blessed to embrace. Whether that be walking with you hand in hand through birth, after birth, educating, goal setting, or referring. My heart is to see families flourish and thrive. No matter if this is your first baby or your fifth I would love to be part of your village! I have served with The CALL (supporting and encouraging foster/adopt families), the Independent Living Program through DCFS (helping teens that have aged out of foster care navigate adult life), Loving Choices crisis pregnancy center (as Site Director), and so much more. When I'm not loving on families I enjoy glamping, hiking, the lake, travel, cooking, and getting lost in a good book.

I support women who are trying to conceive and who are expecting, learn how to nourish their bodies through holistic nutrition and healthy living so they can have a healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

More to come soon!

Hello everyone! My name is Sondra and I own Arkansas Doulas and Arkansas Breastfeeding Clinic. I'm a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doulas as well as an IBCLC. I'm passionate about supporting families on this journey so they feel heard, validated and supported. I've had the privilege of working with families in Arkansas for 14 years. My own experience as giving birth in Arkansas is what lead me to this work. I often tell my sons that they will one day understand how many lives they have impacted by simply just existing. They have helped mold and shape me into the professional I am today. This journey is yours, I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Hello parents, I am a mom of 2 gorgeous boys, now happily living their elementary school years. I work part time in a floristry shop & more & more note that I gained a valuable skill in my babies early years. I miss that special time, & providing comfort to babies in need. It's an exhausting phase for parents & I welcome the opportunity to be of assistance to them. Nighttimes especially can be fraught with very valid feeding & settling demands by a baby, however, it can wholly detract new parents from their rest, sleep, & sanity. I am available for help, days & nights. (My husband is amazing with our own kids). Both my babies were breast & bottle fed, & took a pacifier for soothing times between feeding. I enjoyed learning so much about infant needs & patterns of growth, their development phases & overall sweetness & innocence in learning to be human! Our whole family enjoys being outdoors, while striking a balance of routine and ad hoc fun / adventure. I also undertake charity work in the community & have found this so rewarding during all my adult years to date. Kind regards, Claire
