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 an uncanny ability to "read the room" and blend in to the background if that's what best suits the situation. I connect and attune quickly and effortlessly to my clients. 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!

Heidi was a wonderful doula, and ensured that I had a beautiful birth experience with my youngest son. If I could go back in time, I would have asked her to accompany me with my two older boys. One of the most valuable things she did was to guide my husband in caring for me and supporting me. I felt loved, seen, cared for and safe with her looking out for my family.

Bethany was our doula for the delivery of our first baby. Our birth took place at home, so we knew we wanted the best people to support us through such a new experience. Bethany was wonderful. She has such a warm and calm presence. She was very encouraging throughout labor, and provided the exact support my husband and I needed. Our labor picked up very quickly. Luckily, Bethany was so easy to reach, and she was at our home right away. Not only was she amazing support during labor, but leading up to the big day as well. She is so knowledgeable on all birth options and decisions that we came across during pregnancy. She had evidence based answers to all of our questions. She was supportive of our birth choices and made me feel confident in our decisions. We feel so blessed that we had her with us on such an important day. We can’t wait to see Bethany again for our next baby.

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.

There aren’t words to describe how grateful we are for Sara and her wisdom, encouragement, and steady confidence throughout my pregnancy, the birth of our baby boy, and even now postpartum. We are eternally grateful for her involvement in this crazy wonderful experience and cannot imagine it without her. What meant the most to me was Sara’s care in taking the time to get to know US (both my husband and I) and the birth experience we envisioned. It was very important to me that my husband was able to be my primary support person and that he felt fully equipped to do so - Sara absolutely made that happen, and my husband was able to be 100% present and involved in every moment. Sara really went above and beyond for us at every stage of pregnancy and the birthing process, somehow knowing what both my husband and I needed before we even did. By the time of our son’s birth, we felt so comfortable with Sara and were able to achieve the beautiful, unmedicated birth we prayed for - she instilled so much confidence in me and the body and baby God gave me. We will absolutely be using Sara as our doula for our next baby!! Would recommend her over and over again.

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

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!

“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!
