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.

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.

Hi! I'm Natasha, a mother of 2 daughters and a birth doula serving the St. Louis, Missouri area and the Metro East area in Southern Illinois since 2021. I like to have a holistic approach to the pregnancy and birth experience. I like to focus on nutrition and positioning techniques during pregnancy to help minimize end-of-pregnancy concerns and labor challenges. I started my doula journey shortly after my first born because I wanted to help other families to know that they do have a voice that matters. Having a cesarean myself, then a HBAC, I have a unique perspective on the difference of each of those experiences. I learned the importance of having the proper support, the right to informed choice and the resources to have a positive pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. That is what I hope I can provide to my community.

Recent review

I highly recommend Natasha. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to teach you a lot about birth beforehand, while also providing excellent resources for both the mental and physical preparation, as well as postpartum support. During labor, she was a calm and reassuring presence, bringing both expertise and comfort. When we discovered our baby was sunny-side up during delivery, she guided us through the Spinning Babies Three Sisters of Balance technique, which helped us reposition the baby optimally. Her support made a real difference in our birth experience.

My own journey through infertility revealed the beauty and strength of the birthing process, inspiring me to dedicate my work to empowering mothers to experience birth with confidence, peace, and informed choice.

Recent review

Rachel was an exceptional doula who provided invaluable support throughout my birthing journey. She effectively addressed my concerns regarding potential deviations from my birthing plan, ensuring that my preferences were respected even in seemingly optimal circumstances. Rachel emphasized the importance of trusting my body’s cues and the readiness of my baby during the birthing process. Her unwavering support and accountability partner role were instrumental in helping me refocus and maintain a positive mindset during the birthing process. While my birthing experience may not have been flawless, it was undoubtedly aligned with my goals and values. I am deeply grateful for Rachel’s guidance and would highly recommend her services to anyone planning or currently experiencing pregnancy.

Growing up as the middle child of six the topic of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding was never something I had to wonder about. I watched my mother grow my younger siblings and got to witness the incredible bond she had with them as she breastfed them. I always knew I wanted to be surrounded by the birth space whether it be my own or someone else’s. Twenty-something years later…here I am! Welcome to my corner of the internet- I’m Kyra. I’m a wife, mother of two beautiful girls and birth obsessed! In Kindergarten, my teacher assigned our class an art project that I would remember forever- to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up. The other kids drew pictures of firefighters, teachers, doctors and police officers. I drew a picture of myself in a wedding dress! I knew that I wanted to get married and have babies and take care of my own home. I wanted to be my mom! Not long before I got married I found the picture I drew and wished I could have told little six-year-old me that I would get to be exactly what I wanted. After being told I would probably never be able to conceive and carry my own babies I fell pregnant. I was able to grow and birth that baby, I felt so blessed! Fast forward another nine months and I’m pregnant again- an even bigger surprise. I was able to grow and carry and birth that baby too. I was fortunate enough to have two very healthy pregnancies and was able to have unmedicated water births in a freestanding birth center. After my first birth, I decided to stop making excuses and pursue something I’m passionate about. That brought me here to you. It’s such a privilege that I get to be a role-model for my daughters in this way. I get to raise them knowing that birth is normal and isn’t something to be feared. I get the privilege of supporting the strongest women as they grow and birth their babies. I am so grateful to do this work. Thanks for being here.

Kyra was our doula for pregnancy and birth. She provided us with so much knowledge and care! She stepped in for birth classes, answered all questions I had, and made me feel confident to birth my baby. She stayed by my side the entire duration of my very very long labor and was so supportive!

I cannot recommend Taylor enough. She supported my husband and I through every step of pregnancy—providing education on the stages of labor and delivery, preparing us for postpartum, and answering every question or concern without hesitation. I truly cannot imagine going through labor and delivery without her. She guided us through each moment, reassured me when I needed it most, and helped my husband feel confident and supported as well. We both say, without a doubt, that we couldn’t have done this without her.
