Additionally, I’ve been immersed in my career in Early Childhood Education since 2008. I've worked in daycare centers, been a live-in nanny for 7 years and ran my own in-home daycare for 8 years before closing and focusing solely on my doula work.

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.

Becoming a doula stemmed from a deeply personal journey for me. As a mother of 5, I have personally experienced the highs and lows of childbirth, including heartbreaking miscarriages, and scary pregnancy complications that left me feeling vulnerable and alone. These experiences ignited a spiritual calling within me to support and comfort other mothers during their birthing journeys. I saw the need for a compassionate advocate to stand by their side, providing guidance, emotional support, and a comforting presence throughout the transformative process of bringing new life into the world. It is through my own trials and triumphs that I found my purpose as a doula, driven by empathy and a heartfelt desire to be a source of strength for other women during one of the most significant moments of their lives. The cost of doula services can be a concern for many expecting mothers, but I understand the importance and value of having a supportive doula by your side during this special time. Every woman deserves access to doula support, which is why we can work together to create a personalized package that fits not only your needs but also your financial situation. I believe in making doula services accessible and affordable to all women, ensuring that you have the care and guidance you deserve throughout your pregnancy and childbirth journey.

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.

With a background as a licensed practical nurse specializing in pediatrics and a passion for all aspects of fertility, pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum care, I bring a wealth of expertise to every client I work with. My commitment to providing comprehensive support and guidance ensures that your journey into parenthood is informed, confident, and empowered. I'm here to answer your questions, offer valuable insights, and assist in making your experience a memorable and positive one. Let's embark on this incredible journey together!

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.

My name is Kristen Gaither and I'm a certified birth doula. I trained in 2021 with Jamaa Birth Village in Ferguson and again in 2024 with Childbirth International. My passion for supporting birth came after the birth of my second daughter, when I experienced an overwhelmingly peaceful and powerful birth. Though my own experience led me to this work, my goal isn't to recreate an experience, but to help you discover the information and desires that bring you empowerment and peace throughout the process. Outside of doula work, my background is in social work, college ministry, and non-profit work. When I'm not supporting families, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids, seeing live music, and deep conversations over good coffee.

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 Hanna, the doula behind Ground & Gather Birth Work! I believe that birth is a deeply transformative experience, during which, everyone deserves to feel grounded, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. My work is about providing evidence-based, compassionate support and education to each individual family, and gathering my current and previous clients into a community of support for one another. I bring a gentle, steady presence to every birth I attend. I am someone to hold space, offer knowledge, and remind you that you already have everything you need within you to make the right decision for yourself and your baby. When I’m not supporting births, you can usually find me tending to my plants, reading a good thriller book, or soaking up moments with my people and my pets.

I am a God-fearing doula and certified Hypnobabies instructor with a deep passion for supporting women in birth.

Hello my name is Doula Asia . I like to consider myself as a DOULAPRENEUR I am the owner of Doula Love, Light, & Life LLC. I am a Mom, Community Health Worker and Maternal Health Advocate. I became a full spectrum doula in 2020 because I want all birthing people to know they have options and a voice that can and will be heard when it comes to their body and baby. I want to help you know what questions to ask your provider, to know how to advocate for yourself, and to know there is someone in your corner to support you through pregnancy/birth/and postpartum journey. Motherhood is a beautiful thing but there is no manual on how we should be a mother but if you have the right support team it will be one of our greatest moments.
