To tell you a little about myself, I love scrapbooking, music, outdoor activities, I’ve always been involved in sports. Loving being involved in my churches youth program helping young adults my age and younger build a stronger relationship with Christ. I am very responsible, trustworthy, self-motivated and self-determined to excel in any and every aspect in my life. I absolutely adore kids. Growing up in a HUGE family there were nothing but kids all day every day. Being a part of their everyday lives and watching them grow makes me feel accomplished that I had a little to do with helping them grow and mature. I find joy in being a fun dependable person people can call on. I have been a professional nanny for over 10 + years traveling, working for NFL, pro baseball, doctors & lawyers. I have experience with sleep training, multiples , ODD disorder, serve allergies and so much more.

With so much information to read, hear and explore online it can be challenging to know what to do or what to believe! I can help you sort through the information, focus on your needs and provide the support you desire. I want to help you become a lifetime advocate for your family.

Hi! My name is Kylee Carlisle. I have had the privilege of working with families since beginning my career in labor and delivery in 2008. During this time, I found a love for education and breastfeeding support. I have 4 sweet babies of my own and the struggle and awe of breastfeeding them I have discovered the joy in helping others navigate their own breastfeeding goals.

My goal as a doula is for you to have the most positive, peaceful birth experience possible. My first pregnancy brought challenges that forced me to adapt the plans I had made of how things would unfold. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by supportive, knowledgeable women who helped me navigate these changes and still be able to say that bringing our son into the world was an amazingly positive experience! I’m passionate about helping you not only ease pregnancy discomforts, but providing the support you need to feel informed, empowered, and ready to make confident decisions for your birth experience.

Amber was recommended to me by multiple friends who had previously hired her. We connected in my second trimester, and Amber was great from the start. She was always available via text or call, and her doula co-op offered three classes on late pregnancy comfort, labor positions, interventions, etc. She attended my entire labor and delivery and provided terrific informational, physical, and emotional support throughout the day. She helped me achieve my goal of an unmedicated birth, took photos of my first moments with my son, and checked in frequently throughout the first week postpartum. Truly an excellent experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend her!

Hi! I’m Lauren Spencer, labor support doula and childbirth educator. I currently live in Independence, MO and am embracing the joy, chaos, and love that raising two toddler boys brings! I am a follower of Christ, love the outdoors, and am blessed to cross paths with you! After my birth with my youngest, I felt a calling to help serve and support other families as they navigate all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. That's when Beloved Births KC was born!

We chose to have Lauren as our doula with our third pregnancy. This was my first time using a doula and it made a world of difference! Her expertise, calming presence, and intuition was invaluable for my unmedicated induction. She helped with advocacy making sure all our wishes were honored. She was so helpful to my husband as well, teaching him comfort measures, counter pressure, and helping him to be involved throughout labor. I am so glad I decided to have a doula as an extra set of hands for my unmedicated birth. She also has amazing tools such as red light therapy and a birth sling. I cannot recommend Beloved Births KC enough! She is worth every penny!
