Hello Families, I’m Misty Morgan, a dedicated Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, Sleep Consultant, and New Parent Coach based in the Kansas City area with over 20 years of experience. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families, beginning in Orange County, CA, and traveling nationwide to offer care. I specialize in respectful, responsive, and nurturing practices to help families navigate the transition into parenthood. My expertise includes working with multiples, medically fragile infants, hospice care, gentle sleep training, 24/7 support, private travel, and nursery set-up. Whatever your needs, I’m here to make your fourth trimester as smooth and stress-free as possible. I believe in empowering parents by fostering bonding, healing, and confidence in their natural instincts—guiding them every step of the way without pushing any specific methods. Your experience matters most, and I tailor my care to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for overnight assistance or ongoing support, I pride myself on being calm in emergencies, organized, communicative, and adaptable. With a background as a household manager and long-term nanny, I’m skilled in multitasking and have the experience to adjust as your family’s needs evolve. I also bring personal experience as a mom to a large family (seven children!) and have hands-on training with NICU nurses, as well as certifications in CPR and First Aid. Additionally, I’ve trained with experts like CAPPA and Summer Hartman, and gained invaluable experience caring for twins alongside a NICU nurse for two months. If you’d like more information or need support for your family, I’d love to hear from you! Warmly, Misty Morgan

Hi, I'm Alysha! I am a Certified Birth Doula serving the St. Louis area. ​ I believe that every woman should feel empowered to have the birth experience she desires while staying safe and healthy. ​ Having attended both medicated and unmedicated births, I know there is beauty in every kind of birth, and I consider it an honor to be present for each and every one! ​ I am certified through DONA International. I have also received training from Spinning Babies, Evidence-Based Birth, the VBAC Link, and Gena Kirby's Rebozo Course. ​ If you choose me as your doula, you can be assured you will have a knowledgeable support person with you, not only at your birth, but throughout your entire pregnancy!

I’m Kelley, St. Louis birth doula, mom to 3 boys, married to the guy I fell in love with in high school. I became obsessed with birth after our first was born via cesarean after an induction for “dates” for “failure to progress.” Air quotes intended. The disappointment I felt surprised me; I dove into research about birth in America. I learned all about my fertility, chose a provider who would be supportive of a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), and hired a doula. Best laid plans and all that… I had a cesarean for high blood pressure at 42 weeks. I definitely still felt disappointed over his birth, but because I was educated and well supported, I knew we had made the best decisions with the options we had. I still planned for VBA2C for baby #3, and was able to push him out of my body right into his daddy’s hands – with a lot of help from my medical team for high blood pressure again, and so much support from my doula. When my former industry got flip-turned upside down and my structural engineering days were forced to end, I decided to follow my passion and dreams and become a birth doula, and now life has moved us from our native Houston to St. Louis. I see my role as a birth doula like being a good coach. I’m on the sidelines with all the information for you, but you’re the one who has to execute the plays. I’m here to educate you and support you whether you’re having a baby at home in the water with twinkle lights, epidural or not at the hospital, or a planned cesarean. I’m going to meet you where you are and dig down into that hole with you. And after the baby is here and you’re overwhelmed, I’m available to help you out, listen to you, and get you through those first few weeks. When I’m not doula-ing, I’m training Jiu Jitsu, at the baseball fields, a wrestling meet, a choir or band event, playing banjo, or I’ve got my nose stuck in a book. And I’m always down for some Tex-Mex.

I have been a nurse for 20+ years. As a nurse I have seen the impact that doulas have on maternal and infant health. For that reason I also became a doula. I am certified in reiki, TENS unit application, and water birth. I am also studying herbalism, aromatherapy, and acupressure. I believe that all mothers should have access to all holistic services related to birth. I am certified through DONA International. I would love to be your doula!

Hi everyone! I'm Brittany Fatoma, a certified perinatal doula (prenatal, antepartum, and postpartum) and perinatal doula trainer.

Before becoming a doula, I taught early childhood and elementary education for eight years. I was also passionate about leading a nonprofit advocating equitable educational opportunities for Black and Brown children. Birth work allows me to beautifully combine my love for children with my desire to empower and support birthing individuals. As a doula, I'm particularly interested in supporting families through challenging and exceptional circumstances, such as first-time parenthood. I also prioritize helping clients stay healthy and active throughout pregnancy. I offer comprehensive childbirth education to equip parents with the necessary knowledge and confidence.

Did you know that a mother does not see her doctor until four to six weeks postpartum? Many health issues can arise during that period; it's comforting to know that your questions can be answered and problems addressed with a medical trained postpartum doula. I want to bring home health care back to its roots with at-home follow up care for families following birth. To have a trained medical profession in your home teaching you how to care for your newborn baby, while also caring for your entire family is a rare gift. ​ Acupuncturists undergo four years of Eastern medical training which includes three years of Western medical training. ​​ ​I also happen to be a baby expert, caring for over 105 babies and being a single parent foster parent to a set of 3 month old twin baby girls. If there's one thing I know, it's the language of babies. A few examples of what I offer my families include: -Videos with helpful techniques such as putting on a nipple shield, pace bottle feeding, or multiple options for newborn carriers - Newborn care - Bottle washing, sterilizing, CDC guidelines for bottle care - Infant laundry and nursery set-up - Nighttime care - Errand running - Organizing anything Marie Kondo style - Dietary suggestions to help heal the post birth body, to address joint pain and for lactation support - Cooking healthy meals and snacks for family - Keeping mom hydrated, rested and cared for - Create a daily feeding schedule for Mom/baby that optimizes Mom's ability to rest and restore her body - Researched information on environmental and safe baby-care products and topics - In-home acupuncture treatments which aren’t extra cost, they come as a perk to me being your doula :)

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.

I am a birth doula and photographer, and I serve the areas in and around Fulton, Columbia, and Jefferson City. I became a doula because a woman's experience in labor and childbirth can often affect how confident she feels as a mother, especially in the early weeks postpartum. The role of a mother is an important one and it is vital that she feels empowered to make decisions for herself and her children that line up with her beliefs and values. Mothers have certain beliefs and values because they believe that these will be the most beneficial for their children and I want to support that.

Hi! I’m Kylie, a wife and mama of three kids. I work with a team of 3 doulas in and surrounding Springfield, Missouri I’ve had a passion for pregnancy and birth since I was a little kid, which has just grown over the years. At 17, I was present for the home birth of my youngest sibling. In that moment, I turned to the midwife and told her I was going to do this (birth work) with my life. After having my first baby, I realized how vital support is for a new mom. Whether it’s her first, third, or fifth baby. My goal as your Doula is to support and nurture you every step along the way of your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

My name is Tressie Casey, I’m a proud wife and homeschooling mother of three beautiful children, and of course a birth nerd. As a dedicated doula I’m committed to supporting families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My mission is to create a safe, empowering, and nurturing space where parents feel informed, respected, and confident in their choices. As a doula, I offer personalized care tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences. I bring not only professional training but also deep compassion and a listening ear, ensuring you feel truly seen and heard every step of the way. Whether through birth preparation, hands-on labor support, or gentle postpartum care, I strive to empower you and your family through this life-changing experience. My passion for this work stems from my own experiences. My first two babies entered the world in quite traumatic experiences, following severe postpartum depression and lactation issues. I remember thinking to myself “I don’t want anyone else going through this alone”. I quickly became the lady that friends and family called when they needed help or had questions. I had no idea what a doula was until someone sent me a thank you card one time that said “Thank you for being my doula”. This word really got me. I had no clue what that was. I decided to look it up and to my surprise I found it originated from Greece and means “to serve or mother the mother”. I instantly fell in love with that and realized that it was my calling. I hardly ever hold babies because they are in the safest place in the world, their mother’s arms. I always hold the mother though because just like her baby, she was just born too.

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

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!

Hello my name is Doula Asia . I like to consider myself as a DOULAPRENEUR I am the owner of Doula Love, Light, & Life LLC. I am a Mom, Community Health Worker and Maternal Health Advocate. I became a full spectrum doula in 2020 because I want all birthing people to know they have options and a voice that can and will be heard when it comes to their body and baby. I want to help you know what questions to ask your provider, to know how to advocate for yourself, and to know there is someone in your corner to support you through pregnancy/birth/and postpartum journey. Motherhood is a beautiful thing but there is no manual on how we should be a mother but if you have the right support team it will be one of our greatest moments.
