Find a Midwife Near Me in Missouri

Sarah and Amy were great to work with throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey! They have a wealth of knowledge and are very kind and caring. Birthing classes with Sarah were a blast and so helpful for me and my husband as first time parents. It was such a blessing and relief having Amy at my birth to be an extra set of eyes and hands when needed. I felt confident she would honor my birth plan and advocate for me when I needed her to—and she did exactly that! I can’t recommend Birth and Beyond KC enough for any and all of their services!

I met Jacquelyne and Sarah when I was 34 weeks pregnant with my son. Even though I was so far along, it felt like I had know them my whole pregnancy. We connected so well and they both made me feel like family. When i tell you they would do anything for their girls, i mean they would do ANYTHING for their girls. Even if it means coming over to massage you several times just because they know your body is aching and they want to help you rest better without you even having to ask them! They are so kind, gentle, honest, and generous with their time. They are so passionate about mommas and babies and it is so evident in every area of their lives. My birth didn’t go as planned, but they both comforted me and made me feel like I could do anything. even in the face of a mountain of fear. I couldn’t have done it without them. I am forever grateful for these beautiful women. I want them to be there for all of my babies!!!<br><br>Also, RUN DO NOT WALK to having Sarah as your photographer!!! She is AMAZING! Every picture captures so much emotion and her editing is phenomenal!

Ten months ago, one of my dreams came true when I successfully delivered my second child through an unmedicated VBAC. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude because this would not have been possible without you, Alysha.❤️ Reflecting on my pregnancy, I realized how essential it is to have additional support, patience, and genuine understanding from someone outside of family and friends. Hiring you as my doula was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From our first meeting, I had a gut feeling that you were the right person to help our journey go smoothly. Throughout our sessions, the long hours of labor, the delivery, and the postpartum visit, you were consistently kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I am especially grateful that you came to my home late at night when my labor intensified, assisted us with the hospital check-in, and stayed by my side throughout the night so my husband could rest. Thank you also for ensuring that the midwives and nurses remained aligned with my birth plan. Your presence and advocacy made a significant difference for us. This experience left me feeling incredibly empowered, and you are someone our family will never forget. Please accept my apologies for the delay in writing this; it took me ten months to finally sit down and put my thoughts and feelings into words. You deserve a glowing review, and I will certainly be recommending you to anyone looking for a doula in the St. Louis area. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.❤️🥰

I used Beth’s postpartum doula service. She is extremely knowledgeable and it was so comforting to have such a good resource helping me at home after baby. She was so helpful with my older children so I could spend some sweet time with my baby and provided encouragement along the way. I would recommend her postpartum service to anyone who is considering a postpartum doula! It is so worth it!

Kelley is the absolute best! From the moment we started working with Kelley during my first pregnancy, I knew she was the perfect fit for our birth team. I wanted to approach birth like an athlete—mentally and physically prepared, with a strong advocate by my side—and Kelley was exactly that. She was both coach and champion for me and my husband, ensuring we felt confident, informed, and supported every step of the way. When labor came, she was instrumental in helping me stay focused and in control. The movements she guided me through were game-changers, especially when my baby’s heart rate fluctuated during contractions. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to avoid additional interventions and stay on track for the vaginal birth I had planned. The nurses were raving about Kelley, praising how seamlessly she worked with them, understanding the plan of care and adjusting strategies in real time. Her presence brought a sense of calm, strength, and reassurance that I truly believe made all the difference in my experience. Without a doubt, Kelley will be a part of our birth team again when we welcome our next child. If you’re looking for a doula who will advocate fiercely, support you completely, and help you approach birth with confidence, Kelley is the one you want by your side. Thank you, Kelley, for being such an incredible part of our journey!

Stacie was my doula for the birth of my 3rd child. She still needed a certification birth so I reached out to her and signed up with her to be my doula. My partner and I were very nervous about allowing someone in our home due to a past tragedy in our town. A doula in our town several years ago killed a woman and stole her baby. Due to this we were very nervous. Stacie eased our concerns right away by presenting in a very professional manor. She was extremely knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding,  and postpartum.  She was also able to provide references, actual certifications, and professional organization details. Because of this, our anxiety disappeared.  She was there for 3 prenatal visits, the birth, and a postpartum visit. She was very supportive through the whole process.  I did end up needing to be induced, and got an epidural, but she was still very helpful. She provided great support from the moment we all arrived at the hospital to about 2 hours after the birth. I would highly recommend Stacie (Holistic Expectations) to be a doula. She is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.  I would use her again.

I hired amy in 2025 for my first pregnancy PRICING: Amy had great pricing that was a little bit lower than most doulas you would find in KC proper. She was incredibly helpful in submitting paperwork so my work would reimburse me(trust me it was a lot of hoops to jump through and she did them with a smile) CLASSES: I’ll start by saying I was definitely someone who listened to a birth story or hypno birth video nearly every day on my drive into work. I think her classes offered great advice but much of the material if you were like me and constantly listen and read things could be learned online. I will say while I did feel like most of it was refreshers and was good to talk through different coping strategies, birth preferences, positions (this I felt was something I didn’t know much about and she had many print outs for), and ways to advocate for yourself. The longer version of will be at the end but I had to have a very quick delivery due to complications and my husband was able to really speak up and buy me some time using the strategies that Amy had made sure to really emphasize. I do think Amy had a lot to do with him telling the Drs. I need a few private minutes and asking for a different nurse to help me make my decision. ON CALL SUPPORT: Amy was so sweet and there was one time I had a rough appointment and was feeling beat down. She invited me to her house to chat and walk through my emotions. She was always there for a phone call or to help me find resources when I had questions L&D: I had an induction. We had built a plan with Amy for when I was further along and in need of support then she would come to the hospital. Unfortunately I had to have an urgent c section about 1 hour into my day. With that said I don’t have a lot of input on L&D with her as she was not the one we were frantically calling/ texting as I was going to the OR. She did show up after and offered to bring us food or any kind of comfort measures. She also offered to swing by to allow my husband some time out of the hospital (my folks were there so we didn’t take her up on this). I know Amy would’ve been there had we texted her because she was checking in frequently throughout the night when I was getting my cervix softened and rough when they started the pitocin POST PART: Amy was great about checking in and making sure I was supported. I was not super mobile and also had sooooo many people stopping by, she allowed me time that I much needed before my post partum visit. From the outside looking in - I could see this visit as even more helpful if you did not have a lot of people around the area. Overall Amy was great, you can tell she loves what she does and care deeply about her clients. I really leaned on some of the earlier teaching and strategies she gave me when I was told that my day was going to end differently than I expected.

I wasn’t sure about hiring a doula because I’m frugal but Amanda was well worth it! She was very helpful and knowledgeable about pregnancy and labor. Plus, she was good company. She stayed in the hospital with my husband and me for 2 full days. She was also there before and after our son’s birth for moral support and resources. Before labor, my husband didn’t fully understand the role of a doula but he is also very thankful that we had Amanda on our team. If you’re considering a doula, hire Amanda!

Brittany is a blessing! When my OB had me stressed or confused during my pregnancy, Brittany was there to calm me and guide me through my emotions. She’s friendly, loving and has a great spirit overall, which is very much needed during and after a pregnancy. I have learned a lot from her and I am beyond grateful to have met her. I highly recommend her and their whole collective! They’ve got a great team going on!

Emily was my doula for two of my babies, first as a post partum doula and then as my birth doula. She is compassionate, thoughtful, dedicated, and so joyful. Her impact was felt in her encouragement from the first contractions to learning how to breastfeed. She was a supportive and calming presence in otherwise chaotic times, and very attentive to the needs of the moment. When it got tough, I was so glad to have Emily to keep me grounded. She would be an amazing support for any mom.

For me the presence of Aneliz was priceless, her experience with labor and her experience inside and outside the health system were very important and reassuring. Aneliz also brings her Christian Faith into the process, which for my wife and I was extremely helpful. Also, her Spanish speaking was hugely helpful for my wife. We can´t recommend her enough."

Working with Cush&Comfort Doula Services was truly one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy and birth journey. From our very first meeting, she made me feel seen, heard, and completely supported. Her calm, knowledgeable presence gave me so much confidence going into labor. During my delivery, she was an absolute blessing. She advocated for me, helped me stay grounded, and guided me through every contraction with reassurance and care. I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through it without her encouragement and expertise. Postpartum, she continued to show up in such a meaningful way—checking in, offering guidance, and making sure both baby and I were doing well. Her compassion, professionalism, and genuine love for what she does shines through in every interaction. If you are looking for a doula who will support you physically, emotionally, and spiritually, I highly recommend Cush&Comfort. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. I am forever grateful for her support during one of the most important times in my life. — A grateful client from Eureka ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
