Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Manhattan, 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.

Hi! My name is Shadae and I am the founder and owner of New Light Family Birth Services llc. I serve as a certified Birth and postpartum doula as well as a young parent support specialist in the Kansas City metro area.

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.

Grace and Peace*my name is Taysha Turman and I 'am a certified birth worker. I received my training in Minnesota but I 'am now based in KCMO. To sum up, why I chose birth work? I know how it feels to have gained and lost. That lost reshaped my life, my spirit and the way I understand love, resilience and care. In the depths of grief, I learned how vital it is to be truly seen, supported, and protected during life’s most vulnerable moments. Birth and loss exist side by side, and walking through both taught me that a compassionate presence can be as powerful as any intervention. Becoming a birth doula is an extension of that love—love that did not disappear but transformed into service. My work is rooted in advocacy, protection, and trauma‑informed care, ensuring families feel safe, heard, and empowered in their choices.

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.

I am a newly initiated Postpartum Doula with Uzazi Village here in KCMO and soon to be peer lactation counselor through The B. L. A. C. K. Course. Also, I have worked in early April education for over 20 years.

Hi, I'm Tamara, a birth doula in training through the International Doula Institute.

I bring that same steady, supportive presence into birth spaces, helping families feel informed, confident, and cared for. I believe birth is a deeply personal experience, and my goal is to provide emotional, physical, and educational support so you feel empowered every step of the way.

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 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!

I’m a work from home mom and I had my first baby in June of 2023! My husband and I have been married since 2022 and we’ve grown up in Kansas City our whole life. I’ve been passionate about birth since I saw my mother birth her last two children about 10 years ago and noticed how much women need advocates and support during pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum! Since then, I’ve been trained as a doula through GEM (Global Education of the Midwife) and have been pursuing a postpartum doula course as well. I hope to provide my clients with all the information necessary to empower them to make informed decisions about their birth plan/goals. If a client is open to it, I also love my Christian faith and try to implement that in areas of my work as well.
