If you want someone who is going to be a positive, uplifting voice throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I’d love to be that for you.

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.

Hello, I'm LaCrisha, but most people call me Crisha. I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I’m proud to call it my hometown. I’m blessed with a wonderful, supportive husband, five amazing kids, and a few adorable grandchildren. My happiest moments are spent with my family—whether we’re going out to eat, enjoying a good movie together, or dancing the night away. For many years, I found myself in labor and delivery rooms, supporting family members, friends, and even friends of friends. Sometimes, people assumed I was there to translate, but most of the time, I was simply there to help and offer comfort. It became such a natural role for me that people began asking how long I’d been a nurse. Though I’m not a nurse, I realized how much I love helping others during such a monumental time in their lives. Now, as a Certified Doula, I feel incredibly grateful and honored to be part of these intimate and life-changing moments. Meeting new moms-to-be feels like gaining instant family, and I cherish the opportunity to support them as they step into this exciting new chapter of their lives. To me, every birth represents a new beginning—a fresh start filled with love, hope, and endless possibilities. I am a provider of MO Health Net

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 Birthing Beauties!! I am Aiyote a Birth Doula, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Womb Wellness Healer. My responsibility as your doula is to provide you with emotional support and physical comfort. As a doula, I provide advocacy and assistance in making informative decisions about your birth experience. As a womb wellness healer, I offer spiritual services to assist in connecting with the body and protecting the womb space. I specialize in working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and first time mothers.

My background as an RN in both critical care and medical oncology largely involved walking alongside patients facing the end of life. These experiences sparked a deep passion in me to see that individuals are given a chance at the healthiest possible life - from the very start! This led me to complete Birth and Postpartum Doula Training through DONA International, as well as Lamaze Childbirth Educator training, so I could better support families from pre-conception all the way through the “fourth trimester” of postpartum. I believe these professional experiences, along with my personal journey as a mother of three—with births in both hospital and freestanding birth center settings—have uniquely equipped me to support families during the most vulnerable and powerful moments of becoming a parent. It's my honor to be a part of your unfolding birth journey! A Missouri native, my husband and I lived in several Midwestern cities before putting down roots on the family farm where he was raised. I am enamored by the earthiness of birth, whether it's a human's or a heifer's. I love slow mornings with my people, making nourishing foods and home goods with my hands, and reading about the juncture of bodies and souls under a giant quilt.

Becoming a doula stemmed from a deeply personal journey for me. As a mother of 5, I have personally experienced the highs and lows of childbirth, including heartbreaking miscarriages, and scary pregnancy complications that left me feeling vulnerable and alone. These experiences ignited a spiritual calling within me to support and comfort other mothers during their birthing journeys. I saw the need for a compassionate advocate to stand by their side, providing guidance, emotional support, and a comforting presence throughout the transformative process of bringing new life into the world. It is through my own trials and triumphs that I found my purpose as a doula, driven by empathy and a heartfelt desire to be a source of strength for other women during one of the most significant moments of their lives. The cost of doula services can be a concern for many expecting mothers, but I understand the importance and value of having a supportive doula by your side during this special time. Every woman deserves access to doula support, which is why we can work together to create a personalized package that fits not only your needs but also your financial situation. I believe in making doula services accessible and affordable to all women, ensuring that you have the care and guidance you deserve throughout your pregnancy and childbirth journey.

My name is Kayla Jones & I'm a birth doula in the Denver Metro area where I live with my husband Sam and Atticus, our Great Dane. I'm originally from New Jersey and have lived in Colorado since 2015. I have a degree in Social Work and a minor in Human Development & Family Science which is where I first found my love for momma's and their babies. After a few doors closing, God opened the door for me to be a doula. I sat in my first DONA workshop & cried as I watched birth videos knowing I had finally found what I was supposed to do. I view being a doula as the greatest blessing that I get to be a part of each of your "best day ever". The fact that my job is to witness miracles is something that I will never take for granted.
