Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Lenexa, KS

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.

I am a mother to five children here on earth. I have many years of experience as a certified postpartum Doula and am passionate about providing care to mothers during and after birth. At Birth and Beyond KC we provide both daytime and overnight support. We have a team of experienced Doula‘s ready to support and walk with you on your postpartum journey.

Hi, I’m Therna Cherisme, founder of Purify Mommy Care Services and a birth and postpartum doula currently completing my professional certification. As a mother of six, I bring both trained support and lived experience to the families I serve. I provide compassionate, hands-on care throughout pregnancy, birth, and especially the postpartum transition. My heart is helping mothers feel seen, supported, rested, and confident as they adjust to life with their new baby. My support may include birth preparation and advocacy, emotional support, newborn care, postpartum routines, nourishment and light household support, and creating space for Mom to rest and recover. I believe caring for the mother is an essential part of caring for the entire family. I serve families throughout the Kansas City metro area, offer private-pay birth and postpartum services through Purify, and speak both English and Haitian Creole. I would love to connect, learn what support would make this season easier for your family, and see whether we’re a good fit.

I am a Certified Doula, Registered Nurse and Experienced Mama serving the Kansas City area. I am a mom to five kids through a blend of my own births and adoption. When not spending time with new moms, you can find me homeschooling my kids, reading, working out, doing puzzles, and sipping coffee or a good glass of wine with friends. I am a Catholic Christian and am Pro-life. These beliefs guide my practice as I strive to serve you and your family in the most dignified way, no matter the outcome or location of your birth. I am also a bereaved mama to two babies miscarried in the first trimester and our first little one who was born premature and passed away shortly after birth. All of my own births, along with my 13 years of experience as an RN in the Emergency Room have led me to pursue my true passion of supporting pregnant and postpartum mamas as they enter into one of the most sacred times of their lives. I am a Certified Birth, Bereavement and Adoption Doula through Stillbirthday, I am a certified Vaginal Birth After C-Section (VBAC) Doula through The VBAC Link and have additional hands on training with veteran local doulas. As a Registered Nurse and former Certified Emergency Nurse I maintain my Adult, Child & Infant CPR training and am committed to maintaining and expanding my own experience and education as both a nurse and a doula.

Supporting the *whole* you so that you feel confident and informed through all of your reproductive experiences is my real passion. I'm constantly learning and adding to my practice. I've been in the realm of birth and reproductive work for over a decade now. I'm honored to be serving families in my community.

Hi! I’m Sara McAdoo and I am a certified birth doula and a prenatal yoga instructor in the Kansas City area and am passionate about families honoring God in their births. I am a wife, mother to 4 amazing young kids, homeschooler, avid baker, budding herbalist, gardener, bzzzy beekeeper, and backyard chicken keeper. I create herbal teas specifically for the pregnant and postpartum mama (Gen 1:29-30). I am active in our church, especially in the children’s department. I enjoy making sourdough, baking goody treats, spending time in my garden, visiting local farmers markets, and volunteering in children’s church and children’s quizzing at our local church. I am passionate about helping moms and partners feel empowered and confident about their birth decisions all throughout the pregnancy and postpartum journey! My journey to become a doula came from my own experiences of birth, growth, faith, and support. My first birth experience ended up being a cesarean birth. At age 35, I knew I wanted to try for a VBAC with my second. My provider said they supported it but they also wanted me to schedule a c-section just in case. At 39 weeks, I was not being supported by my birth provider and with the help of my doula, I switched providers and had a successful and fully supported natural VBAC in the hospital. My last 2 births were at home surrounded with love and support and calm. Through my personal experiences, I want to educate, support, and empower moms and families to believe in themselves and surrender to this amazing birth they desire.

Hi there! I’m Kayla Morrison, and my work as a birth doula is driven by a deep mission to provide the advocacy and protection that every family deserves. I was inspired to enter this field after witnessing the neglect my own family members faced within the healthcare system. These personal experiences, combined with the critical need to address the Black maternal mortality rate, fuel my passion for being a shield for my clients—ensuring you are heard, respected, and safely cared for throughout your journey. My philosophy centers on holistic emotional and physical support. As a certified herbalist, I don't just focus on the birth itself; I use my knowledge of plants to support your emotional well-being and hormonal balance during the intense postpartum transition. Whether it's through calming nervines to ease anxiety or nutritive herbs to replenish your energy, I aim to nurture your spirit as much as your body. My background in breastfeeding and child education further ensures you have a confident, evidence-based foundation for early parenthood. I also believe that a peaceful home is essential for a smooth transition. I offer unique guidance on bringing babies home to pets, helping you set up your nursery and home rhythm in a way that makes your animals feel secure and included. My goal is to provide a "supportive safety net" for your entire household, bridging gaps in care with compassion, education, and unwavering advocacy. I look forward to providing you with virtual care

Hello! I am a follower of Jesus, a happily married mother of four, and a newly certified birth doula. I would love to support you in your birth and labor journey to have an amazing experience bringing your little one into the world.

Hello! I'm a birth doula, childbirth educator, lactation educator, & a student midwife in MO! My background is massage therapy/holistic alternatives! I look forward to connecting with you!

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. I had a long and hard induction and was disappointed with how it went. I didn’t want anyone else to feel the way I did so I decided to embark on doula training. I am a registered nurse and bring a unique perspective to birth work. As your doula, I can help you make informed decisions about your birth while providing you physical and emotional support. I am a military spouse and Army veteran so I have lots of experience with military families! I would love to connect with you to discuss how I can help you have the birth experience you desire!

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, 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.

Hi! A little about me. When I was 3yrs old I told my parents that I wanted to be a baby doctor. Fast forward to college, and I was pre-med for two years before changing my major to Psychology. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology but knew I still wanted to be in the birth world, somehow. I had two babies of my own and learned the term Doula. I had an amazing doula for both of my births, and both experiences were amazing for different reasons. I am one of the most driven, inspired, passionate, hardworking, family oriented person you will ever meet. Let me help empower you so you feel confident in having the best birth experience possible.

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.

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!
