The cost of a midwife in Lee's Summit, MO can be influenced by several factors:

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

Lee’s Summit has a modest local selection, with three midwives listed within 60 miles. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries varies among Medicaid plans, while private insurance benefits should be confirmed with the insurer.

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

I own and operate a birthing practice in Missouri and Kansas. My birthing practice is named My Ancient Birthing to commemorate my love for my God and also to embody and recognize ancient birthing practices. I am also an activist for the fair treatment of minorities; therefore, my practice serves as a pillar in supporting this paradigm. 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!

I would like to start by saying I am extremely pleased with the work provided by Ahyashah! She was my midwife and doula. She is DONA certified which is a HUGE plus! She is very knowledgeable in this line of work. She was willing to answer any and every question that I had and if there was something she wanted to confirm, she did her research and got back to my husband and I. She is very soft spoken, sweet, kind and knowledgeable. I know I said knowledgeable already but once you hire her, you will understand why I am expressing this more than once. My husband pointed out that he appreciated how she also ensured his understanding, not leaving him out of the loop like the doctors did in our first birth. We had a water birth. Ahyashah was there every step of the way! I was delighted to have her on my team and will definitely book again, if we have another baby! Thank you so very much Ahyashah!

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.

“Hi, I'm Melissa Brown! I am 38 years old and I was initiated into motherhood 16 years ago when I gave birth to my son, Zane. We have two female cats; Poppi radiant in gold fur and sleek baby Ami in black! I am a trained Doula, certified professional Cosmetologist and Registered Yoga Instructor (RYT 200). I primarily value well & wise authenticity, integrity, vulnerability, boundaries and connection between human beings and I love to foster these experiences. “What is a Doula? My main roles as a multidisciplinary doula is to offer emotional support and empowerment during the event of your child’s birth. Why should I choose you? As somebody who is both a mother as well as a woman who died for 12 hours and miraculously revivified without intervention, I am first and foremost experientially well qualified to understand this work in body, mind and spirit. I have received official certification for this work through Birth & Beyond KC. I can say with conviction that I am nourished by being chosen to offer my compassionate, non-judgmental presence during life’s most tender thresholds. My intention is to hold space for you with reverence, presence, and deep respect, so that you do not have to navigate these moments alone.

I feel so lucky to have had Melissa during labor. It was our first birth, and was a long + difficult labor as our son was not in an optimal position. Had it not been for the amazing support I had, I truly believe my labor would have felt very traumatic. Instead, I vividly remember how comforting and dedicated Melissa was through the night and into the morning. Her support made such a difference when I look back on the labor. I would highly recommend her to all parents!
