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.

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.

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.

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!

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 Terri—a full-spectrum doula, photographer, wife, and mom of three. For over 25 years, I’ve walked alongside families as a social worker, and for the past 20 years, I’ve had the honor of documenting life’s most meaningful moments through photography. Supporting families has always been at the heart of who I am, and becoming a doula felt like a natural extension of that calling. I believe birth and the journey into parenthood are sacred, transformative experiences. My role is to offer calm, steady support—emotionally, physically, and informationally—so families feel seen, heard, and confident in their choices. Whether I’m holding space during labor or preserving those first fleeting moments, I’m here to walk beside you with compassion, strength, and care.

Hello there and congratulations! I am a homeschooling mama to four girls and a lover of all things birth. I believe that birth is a natural process and I love helping empower couples as they welcome their babies into the world. I’ve been teaching natural childbirth classes for 12 years, attending births as a doula for 7 years, and am now studying to become a homebirth midwife. If you want someone who is going to be a positive, uplifting voice throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I’d love to be that for you.

Preparing for birth can feel overwhelming — especially when so much feels unknown. Many women carry quiet fears about labor, the hospital, pain, and whether they will feel safe, supported, and truly heard during the experience. My name is Mira, and I provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My role is not to replace medical care, but to walk beside you through this important transition — helping you feel calmer, more informed, and more connected to yourself along the way. Birth is not only about what happens medically. It is also about how you feel while it is happening. You deserve to feel supported, respected, and not alone in the process. I stay with you through the intensity, the uncertainty, the emotions, and the powerful moments in between — offering guidance, reassurance, comfort, and steady support step by step. As a mother of five, I understand how deeply important it is to feel safe, cared for, and emotionally held during this time. If you’re pregnant and searching for more support, guidance, or reassurance, I offer free consultations to help you explore whether we would be a good fit to work together.

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.

Hi, I'm Susi! I am a Hispanic mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister and now a doula obsessed with all things birth! I believe every woman should feel empowered to have the birth experience she desires and always have access to a doula.

Birth has always held a special place in my heart. I became a doula because I saw how deeply families are impacted by the support, or lack of support ,they receive during pregnancy and birth. I believe every parent deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered during one of the most vulnerable and transformative experiences of their life. As a birth doula, I offer continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy and labor. My care is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and grounded in faith. I am especially passionate about walking with families who have experienced loss, infertility, previous birth trauma, or fear surrounding birth, helping them rebuild confidence and peace as they prepare to welcome their baby. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where families feel safe to ask questions, explore their options, and trust their bodies and instincts. It is truly an honor to serve families as they step into parenthood with strength, confidence, and love.

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.
