Hi there! I am a birth and overnight doula in the St. Louis area. I currently support parents during pregnancy through the first few months postpartum. During pregnancy, my goal is to help educate you so that you feel confident in advocating for yourself. During labor, I am there to help navigate each stage of labor through mental, physical, and emotional support. With my overnight support families, I am happy to handle all of the newborn care so you can catch up on valuable sleep. I love working with families for the first few months to help set positive sleep habits with your newborn. I’d love to do a free consultation to see if we are a good fit!

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.

Hello! My name is Lindsay, and I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced nanny with 3–5 years of childcare experience. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages, from infants to early teens, and I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. I’m passionate about supporting children’s growth through engaging play, structured routines, and positive guidance. Whether it’s feeding and nap time for little ones, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, or organizing creative activities, I always bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for what I do. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and warm-hearted. I understand that every child and family is unique, so I always tailor my care to meet each household’s needs and rhythm. If you’re looking for a nanny who will care for your children as if they were my own—with attentiveness, respect, and a smile—I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs.

My journey to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor began after experiencing the lack of support from medical staff when my first son was born. This personal experience ignited my passion to ensure that other mothers do not feel the same sense of isolation and overwhelm. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive support to new mothers. My goal is to help women heal from their birth experience, feel confident in their new role, and not feel alone during this crucial time. Through my services, I strive to create a nurturing environment where mothers can thrive, bond with their babies, and access the guidance they need for a successful breastfeeding journey.

Hi! I'm Cheyanna Warren, a birth doula who's been loving on moms for 3 years! I'm 25 and Wisconsin-born and raised. I have a wonderful Husband, Kyle, and together we have two boys, Wyatt and Mason. I always knew I belonged somewhere in the birth world, but I wasn't sure where, until I was introduced to the idea of being a doula, and that's when I knew this is where I was meant to be! Helping Moms achieve a positive birth experience is such a passion of mine. I pride myself on the relationships I build with my families. I believe the first step in creating a safe birth space is to have full trust and comfort with those in your birthing journey. To achieve this, I take away that typical doula client "standard" and create a true lasting friendship so you know you can feel supported in a judgment-free zone! When I'm not attending Happy birthday parties, you'll find me playing with my kiddos, cooking, or watching reality TV!
