I own and operate a birthing practice in Missouri and Kansas.

I am an ante, intra and postpartum doula AND midwife, a fertility and birth practitioner through DONA and I specialize in small surgical circumcision(s), lactation coaching and maternal fitness. I have a plethora of accomplishments through my work in My Ancient Birthing, but among the greatest achievement was being interviewed by the Voyage Magazine on March 5, 2026. I was able to introduce my birthing practice to people who are not privy to it and be a reminder for those who were already aware. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Hi there! I’m Kayla Morrison, and my work as a birth doula is driven by a deep mission to provide the advocacy and protection that every family deserves. I was inspired to enter this field after witnessing the neglect my own family members faced within the healthcare system. These personal experiences, combined with the critical need to address the Black maternal mortality rate, fuel my passion for being a shield for my clients—ensuring you are heard, respected, and safely cared for throughout your journey. My philosophy centers on holistic emotional and physical support. As a certified herbalist, I don't just focus on the birth itself; I use my knowledge of plants to support your emotional well-being and hormonal balance during the intense postpartum transition. Whether it's through calming nervines to ease anxiety or nutritive herbs to replenish your energy, I aim to nurture your spirit as much as your body. My background in breastfeeding and child education further ensures you have a confident, evidence-based foundation for early parenthood. I also believe that a peaceful home is essential for a smooth transition. I offer unique guidance on bringing babies home to pets, helping you set up your nursery and home rhythm in a way that makes your animals feel secure and included. My goal is to provide a "supportive safety net" for your entire household, bridging gaps in care with compassion, education, and unwavering advocacy.
