Lizzy was born and raised in the Kansas City, Missouri area. Before becoming a doula, she got a degree in Psychology at the University of Kansas in hopes of becoming a Clinical Psychologist, but all these ambitions changed when she was expecting her first child in 2022. She fell in love with pregnancy and birth and knew she was called to become a doula. Just as Lizzy felt educated, supported, and empowered in her own birth, she hopes to help mothers and their families feel the same. She received her birth doula training through the Global Education of the Midwife (GEM) and is currently pursuing education to become a postpartum doula through Lifespan Doula.

Lizzy Goulden is not only professional, but she is compassionate towards mothers and babies. Lizzy is knowledgeable in perinatal care and extensively researches information regarding the health and safety of mothers and their babies. Lizzy is skilled in providing quality, informative care, guiding mothers to make the best decisions regarding their pregnancy and birth. Lizzy is comforting and reassures mothers at the most vulnerable stages of their lives. I seek her advice not only in my personal life, but professionally at the my position of employment, a maternity home for young mothers.

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.

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."

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! 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!

Recent review

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!

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!
