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

Emily was outstanding as our doula. She eased our worries and remained with us throughout the whole process. She was very informative and helpful throughout the whole process. She made us feel at ease. She ensured our needs were met and guided us through our pregnancy and birth. She went beyond our expectations, and even assisted us after birth as well with our breastfeeding struggles. We were so lucky to have her, and she was able to capture pictures for us so that our focus could be on the birth, each other, and our beautiful baby. It was an amazing experience with Emily and one that we will definitely love to have her for again for any future births we have.

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.

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.

Theresa was very kind and always willingly to answer any and all questions regarding childbirth I had, especially as a first time mom. I’d highly recommend her as your doula as she is informed, attentive, and very flexible!!!

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.

Recent review

Asia was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable throughout my entire birthing and postpartum experience so far. She made sure that she knew all of my preferences for my birth plan far ahead of time and prepped me for as many natural pain remedies possible. I love how she included my mother and my partner, providing knowledge necessary to all of us during our meetings. Asia continuously checks in with me to ensure mine and the baby's health on a regular basis. She truly made my birth a comfortable and non-judgmental space for creating life. I would not have wanted to bring my baby into the world any other way. As a first time mom, I can definitely say that Asia made me feel prepared and supported the entire time. She is amazing!

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!

Recent review

Hiring the right Doula was an incredibly important and necessary part of my birth story. I was terrified to give birth due to past trauma and fear of the unknown. I needed someone by my side to teach me what to expect and to be my advocate. Sarah fully prepared me for the expected and unexpected. She was my advocate, cheerleader, and friend through the entire process. I felt prepared and was able to be fully present for the birth of my son. I felt, and feel, she really cares for me. Sarah continues to check on me (4 months PP). I don't think this is a job for her, but a calling for those who need her. Hiring Sarah was the best decision I could have made. If an informed and beautiful experience is what you desire, consider Sarah.

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.

I truly don’t know how we would’ve made it through those first few weeks without her. From the moment she stepped into our home, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence. She cared for our baby with such gentleness, but she also cared for me—making sure I was resting, eating, and emotionally supported. She answered all my questions (big and small) with so much compassion and knowledge. It felt like having a best friend, a baby whisperer, and a lifeline all in one. If you’re on the fence about hiring a postpartum doula—do it, and do it with her. You won’t regret it!

My experience with Carolyn was amazing. From our first virtual meeting up to and through my labor and delivery she made me and my husband feel comfortable, supported, and confident. Carolyn helped me with crafting my birth plan so that I could effectively communicate with hospital staff. She supported my wants/needs during labor both mentally and physically . It was so special to have her by my side as I gave birth to my first child.

Recent review

After watching all of the beautiful and peaceful homebirths I was very disappointed that I was advised to go to the hospital due to my son being measured too small during my third trimester. After spending a night there I got very nervous and anxious and didn't quite know how it was all going to work out, as I was hell-bent on wanting a natural birth without being pushed by the Gynaecologist to induce my contractions. And in walks the lovely Chelsea...a clinical doula, something I knew existed (a doula) just not provided as a service in the hospital! Chelsea and I instantly connected and with her soft and sweet voice she helped me with breathing exercises, taking my mind away from the intense extractions. She even brought her own natural coconut oil with which she massaged all the areas that hurt or simply needed the pressure. She also spoke with the Gynaecologist and reassured my contractions we're coming every 10/5 minutes or so, which gave us the opportunity to initiate my labour naturally. I heard lots of horrible birth stories, especially those in hospitals, but I can honestly say I had an absolute wonderful birth thanks to Chelsea. Truly a gift from above to may have had you there with me. Both my partner and mother still ask about her and would love to see her again. We are eternally grateful for her and wish her all the best!
