I am a virtual sleep consultant and get you started on getting better sleep for you and your baby. I also offer postpartum doula services, breastfeeding consulting, birth doula services, holistic nutritional services and classes for parents. Let's connect! Best way to reach me is through my website please or avemaria at gmail dot com. Thank you.

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
