Find a Doula Near Me in Lawrence, KS

As a Postpartum Doula I get to love on the super hero's of the world, mamas. I love supporting them with nurturing care, information, and a helpful presence. As a mama bear to three littles with a partner that travels more than half the year I have the experience of solo parenting and the unique challenges that brings to both the home and the relationships. I value empowering a families own innate maternal/paternal instincts within an evidence based framework. As a Nesting Doula I help families optimize the health of the home environment you're bringing your baby home to. and prepare for the transitions ahead. I help you prepare for the transitions ahead with intention and without overwhelm. Multiple services offered to customize to your own needs.

My passion as a doula is empowering pregnant women to take control of their prenatal preparation. I learned with my first pregnancy that birth is a huge physical feat, so I give you tools and simple movement exercises (that I wish I had back then!) which will train and balance your body specifically for the task at hand: pregnancy, birth, and recovery. I hired a doula for my first two births and I was SO grateful for that decision!! I gave birth at a free-standing birth center, with the support of her and my spouse. If it wasn't for my doula, I know I would not have made it through the marathon of labor! I came away feeling supported and strong. I was certified as a doula in 2016 and then in 2022 trained as a Body Ready Method Pro & Childbirth Educator. My wish is for everyone to be able to bring their baby into the world feeling supported, cared for, and prepared. I believe in the empowerment that comes from taking charge of your own labor which reveals a deeper strength you didn't know was there. You deserve a strong support system so that you can have a beautiful birth experience.

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.

Whether it's through a listening ear, a warm meal, or simply reminding you that you’re not alone, my heart is to serve with gentleness and joy—always pointing back to Christ as our ultimate source of strength and peace. When I’m not working or it's nap time, you can usually find me curled up with a devotional and a latte, catching up with friends, working out, or spending quiet time with my husband.

Hi, I’m Gabriela. I’m a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula with a heart for caring and a passion that began when I was just a child.

My experience includes working with preemies, twins, NICU babies, and newborns with G-tubes. Whether it’s helping you and your baby get better sleep, offering guidance with feedings, or educating you on newborn and postpartum care, my goal is to support you with compassion and knowledge. Most of all, I want to be someone you can rely on during this precious—and sometimes overwhelming—time.
