Hi, I'm Tayler Robins! I'm a proud wife and mom of three amazing boys. My journey into the birth community began after experiencing birth trauma with my first birth. It was a challenging time, but I was fortunate enough to have a doula by my side during my second birth who empowered me to advocate for myself. That experience not only helped me heal but also ignited a passion to support others in their birth journeys. I’ve now chosen to be a part of the birth community, helping others feel empowered and confident as they navigate their own experiences. I'm excited to bring my personal experience and compassion to this field, and I look forward to making a positive impact on families' birth stories.

Hi, my name is Kasey Tolliver. I’m a mom of two, a doula, and a community health worker. My journey into birth work began after my first child was born by C-section. I struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety, and during that challenging season I found comfort and connection in local moms’ groups. Being surrounded by mothers with similar experiences lit a fire in me, I knew I wanted to support women through these vulnerable, powerful moments. I became a doula to deepen my knowledge of childbirth and to better serve families. After completing my certification, I went on to achieve a successful, non-medicated VBAC with my second child—an experience that strengthened my confidence and reinforced my belief in the power and resilience of birthing women. Today, my mission is to remind women of their strength, ensure families receive the care and respect they deserve wherever they choose to give birth, and help create the safest, healthiest experience possible for both mom and baby.

I have experience with preemies twins/multiples, and infants/children that have special needs. I have provided care as a mother's helper, sitter, nanny(day & night), respite provider, and personal aide. I have assisted with therapies, medication administration, equipment maintenance, and more. I am a mother of two school age girls, an aunt, previous foster mom, and oldest sibling so my experience goes beyond my 18 years of professional caregiving. Currently, I am studying to become a newborn/infant care specialist as well as a Postpartum Doula. I have finished my courses and I am in the process of finishing my contact hours to become certified. I work with infants ages preemie to under 13 months old and their families (including siblings).

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 am Lydia. I am married to my husband, Michael, and have two daughters, Lilyana and Shirley. I currently live and grew up near Ava, MO. I chose to work as a birth doula because I believe every woman should be in control of her labor and birth experience. While I know birth can be unpredictable, it's important to have a plan in mind and someone to be on your side to help you with your plan. I believe in having open communication about your wants and needs for labor and birth. In the event labor does not go according to the primary plan, I still want the mothers I serve to be in control of decision making and have the most satisfying birth possible for any situation.
