Doulas that Accept UnitedHealthcare in Missouri

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!!! 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!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Beth and the support she gave me throughout my pregnancy and birth experience! Having her as my doula brought so much peace, encouragement, and confidence during such a special time in my life. She truly rocked! During labor, Beth was absolutely amazing — calm, caring, encouraging, and so attentive to every need I had. She helped me feel safe, empowered, and supported through every stage of labor, and her presence made such a huge difference in my experience. I am so grateful for the love and care she showed our family, and I genuinely cannot imagine my birth experience without her. If you are considering hiring a doula, I wholeheartedly recommend Beth!

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.

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."

This was my fourth baby. In the past I had heard about doulas, but I was undecisive. Talking to Kira convinced me that I really wanted a doula. She was so sweet and caring. I didn't want to miss out on having someone like her next to me to support me during birth. Kira really helped me to accomplish my goals and feel more relaxed during the birthing process. Kira is so sweet she radiates warmth and compassion. From day one I felt like she really cared about me and wanted to help me.
