Did you know that a mother does not see her doctor until four to six weeks postpartum? Many health issues can arise during that period; it's comforting to know that your questions can be answered and problems addressed with a medical trained postpartum doula. I want to bring home health care back to its roots with at-home follow up care for families following birth. To have a trained medical profession in your home teaching you how to care for your newborn baby, while also caring for your entire family is a rare gift. ​ Acupuncturists undergo four years of Eastern medical training which includes three years of Western medical training. ​​ ​I also happen to be a baby expert, caring for over 105 babies and being a single parent foster parent to a set of 3 month old twin baby girls. If there's one thing I know, it's the language of babies. A few examples of what I offer my families include: -Videos with helpful techniques such as putting on a nipple shield, pace bottle feeding, or multiple options for newborn carriers - Newborn care - Bottle washing, sterilizing, CDC guidelines for bottle care - Infant laundry and nursery set-up - Nighttime care - Errand running - Organizing anything Marie Kondo style - Dietary suggestions to help heal the post birth body, to address joint pain and for lactation support - Cooking healthy meals and snacks for family - Keeping mom hydrated, rested and cared for - Create a daily feeding schedule for Mom/baby that optimizes Mom's ability to rest and restore her body - Researched information on environmental and safe baby-care products and topics - In-home acupuncture treatments which aren’t extra cost, they come as a perk to me being your doula :)

Vanessa provided overnight care for my newborn for several nights while I got much needed sleep. She was patient, caring, and attentive with my son. It was invaluable to know that my son was in excellent care during such a difficult transition for our family. I couldn’t recommend Vanessa enough!

For me the presence of Aneliz was priceless, her experience with labor and her experience inside and outside the health system were very important and reassuring. Aneliz also brings her Christian Faith into the process, which for my wife and I was extremely helpful. Also, her Spanish speaking was hugely helpful for my wife. We can´t recommend her enough."

Hello! I am Cassi- the doula behind Wise Womb Doula Care. My journey into birth work started with my own path into motherhood, and it has become my greatest passion to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe every birth is unique and every family deserves personalized, gentle care. My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and truly supported as you step into this new chapter.

My experience with Cassi was incredible! My first contact with her was when I was already around 30 weeks pregnant (if I’m not mistaken, haha), and she was extremely attentive from the very beginning. I had interviewed a few other professionals beforehand, and I believe that an important part of hiring a doula is connecting with the person. I felt that connection with Cassi from the very first moment, even though we had only met virtually during our initial interview. She demonstrated complete knowledge of the support that my husband and I were looking for, and that made me feel confident in hiring her. At around 36 weeks, we had our prenatal visit, and once again Cassi showed extensive knowledge of exercises that would be essential for labor preparation. She explained various positions and massage techniques that my husband and I could use during early labor and also left us with materials to follow. In addition, she remained on call from that moment on in case our little girl decided to arrive. During the birth, Cassi was essential in helping everything happen in a calm and safe way. Of course, as often happens, my birth "plan" did not go exactly as expected, but rather as it needed to happen. Having Cassi by our side during that time was undoubtedly very important and one of the best decisions we could have made. I wholeheartedly recommend her and hope that many women have the privilege of meeting her and having her support during such a special moment. Thank you so much, Cassi, for your support in welcoming our baby girl! I hope to see you again at future births. We wish you every success!

Greetings to you all! My name is Ana and I am a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Breastfeeding Counselor & Student Midwife located in the Kansas City Metro Area. I believe education in this field is continuous, not just from all the various certifications alone but from experience in how to lovingly handle the range of possible outcomes of birth. The perinatal time is precious as it cannot be recreated. It is the foundation on which the family's future healing is built, and careful empathetic care during that time can positively influence the way the family heals and integrates. Thus, I help my clients discover what they want and facilitate learning & a plan to accomplish it. My services are designed and tailored on an individual basis, specific to each unique pregnancy and desired birth experience. Embracing the whole and not just the parts to offer you the support you need to birth as you choose and to help you facilitate the right atmosphere for a calm & peaceful birth.

The service that I looked over and read about is exactly what I recieved! She took her time explaining things to me wether it was options in health care or what things I could eat to better my health and also things high in nutrients that are needed for me and baby. She was super helpful with assisting me ensure all my questions and some I didnt think to ask were asked while at the doctor appointments. She helped me figure out a successful birth plan and sent me information (videos, articles, slideshows) as well to help me better understand why a birth plan is so important. Overall will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and helpful doula.

Heidi Olivera Oh

I am a mother of 5 and Dede (grandmother)to one darling little girl. I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am an animal lover with 2 rescue dogs and 2 rescue pigs! I love to cook vegan meals and enjoy taking traditional meal recipes and making them vegan! I have a huge heart and am very sensitive to my environment and those around me in an intuitive way. I LOVE people and am genuinely curious about everyone I meet. I have been told my whole life that I am a good listener. I also have unique perspective on life and situations in general. During stressful events, I am a pillar of strength, calm and stoic. I help those around me stay grounded. Maybe that makes me sound boring, but I assure you I am anything BUT. My sense of humor will keep you laughing (releasing oxytocin) through labor. Until you get to the part where you need quiet. I have an uncanny ability to "read the room" and blend in to the background if that's what best suits the situation. I connect and attune quickly and effortlessly to my clients. I have been a doula for about 20 years. When I was in the thick of motherhood myself, I knew that I needed a career where I could help people during life's transitions. My business took off and here we are. Over that course of time, I have served hundreds of families and have trained hundreds of doulas too!

Heidi was a wonderful doula, and ensured that I had a beautiful birth experience with my youngest son. If I could go back in time, I would have asked her to accompany me with my two older boys. One of the most valuable things she did was to guide my husband in caring for me and supporting me. I felt loved, seen, cared for and safe with her looking out for my family.

I began my career as a birth professional in 2013 as a registered nurse, specializing in Labor & Delivery. I am also a certified doula and home birth midwife. I have worked as a travel nurse in different states, which has allowed me to learn a variety of useful methods and introduce them where beneficial to my birthing moms. It has been my pleasure to work with families of diverse backgrounds, helping them welcome their new baby into the world and fulfill their best possible pregnancy & birth experience. I enjoy working with women who labor with or without epidurals assisting them with massage, positioning, and breathing techniques to achieve a calming labor experience. I have attended over 2,000 births including water birth and cesarean deliveries. I completed my training and certification as a birth and bereavement doula through both the DONA International and Stillbirthday (bereavement) programs. I have also obtained certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to assist women in their breastfeeding goals. As a Chocolate Milk Cafe facilitator I hold monthly meetings to provide Black women and their families with breastfeeding support and resources. I have received training as an Evidence Based Birth Instructor through Evidence Based Birth. Additionally, I have completed training to become a fertility and pregnancy and infant loss (PAIL) advocate. As a registered nurse I hold certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Basic Life Support (BLS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), AWOHNN Fetal Monitoring (Intermediate & Advanced), and Safe Sleep. My goal is to help educate mothers and families to be as prepared as possible for the childbirth experience and help them to adjust thereafter. I offer hands-on support, as well as help mom understand each step of the labor/birth process so she may better voice her desires to her provider (MD/CNM). I am very open and willing to answer mom/family questions and address any expressed concerns. Sharing the birthing process and miracle of life is my passion. I know that the birthing process can be very overwhelming and my focus is to help diminish any sense of fear and replace it with knowledge and empowerment.

I highly recommend! Lydia is a midwife, experienced, and completely trustworthy midwife. She and her entire team do a fantastic job; they have been like my support system throughout my pregnancy and childbirth journey. I will definitely return to them in the future. My overall pregnancy birth and experience is happy and satisfied. I share my experience with my family and it has changed how they think about natural home birth. I came to Lydia at the beginning of my pregnancy and enjoyed everything about the whole process. All of the preparations we did with Lydia were important beginning to end. Having a midwife at the birth made me feel safe and more comfortable. They are experts, and you trust them and let them guide you. The midwife and doula care makes all the difference during pregnancy and childbirth. The preparation was very important for me and my baby, resulting in a peaceful and unique experience. I would undoubtedly do it again. I did placenta encapsulation and feel they helped me stay relaxed, focused and calm. Everything was excellent!

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!

We were fortunate enough to get one of the best night nurses out there. Nancy was incredible. From the first interaction over the phone, we felt totally comfortable with her. The first night she arrived and immediately sparked conversation around baby, and our dogs! She was so gentle, thoughtful, and without a doubt a life saver to my husband and I. We cannot recommend this service enough to families that are in the trenches. Nancy was there to guide me through uncertainties and was a positive light I didn't realized I'd need. Thank you KC Newborn Care for helping my husband and I establish a routine and get the needed sleep to be our best.
