Magnolia Birth Doula Services

Magnolia Birth Doula Services I am an experienced, certified doula in the St. Louis area. As a birth doula, I work with expecting families to help them prepare for their ideal birth.

This morning I was blessed to support a repeat client in welcoming her second baby!
It was very different than her first. He came at 41 weeks after a quick, spontaneous labor. This little girl was born after her mama was induced at 37 weeks. Mom still had a beautiful experience though.
Happy Birthday little one!

This morning I was blessed to witness a first time mom welcome her baby completely unmedicated at the hospital.
Baby arrived just 4 hours after I joined them & just 3 hours after arriving to the hospital. No cervical checks, no heplock, & minimal monitoring. Her entire baby came out in one contraction before her doc could even make it!
She was so controlled it was hard to tell she was even contracting. The room was filled with worship music. The TENs unit came in handy. But mostly she made it through using her own strength & her husband’s incredible coaching skills. And she had an angel of a nurse who not just supported her wishes but ENCOURAGED them!
It was such an amazing birth! This baby was born in the same room as last Friday’s baby. There were so many similarities between the two births & mamas, including their due dates. That it just felt like a Godsend!

And just like that, available spots for 2025 are closed. But I’m excited about all that 2026 has to bring!
If you’re expecting in January or beyond, now is the perfect time to inquire about doula services.
The perks to securing your doula sooner rather than later:
🤰You get support starting right now! Months & months of having someone right at your fingertips who can answer your questions & provide referrals.
🤰Ample time to study my resources & read the books I suggest/listen to podcasts/take advantage of the services/etc. I recommend vs. scrambling at the last minute to fit it all in.
🤰You have time to shop around for your doula & interview multiple ones to ensure you’ve found the perfect match.
🤰You have more time to make payments.
🤰If you’re with a provider/at a place that doesn’t quite feel right for you, working with a doula earlier on can help you start the journey of finding one that’s a better fit.
My doula care has been proven to:
🤰Significantly reduce the need for an epidural.
🤰Increase your chances of a spontaneous vaginal birth.
🤰Significantly reduce the need for a cesarean.
🤰Increase the likelihood that you have a positive birth experience.

I am so grateful for all of the families, past & present, who have entrusted me with their care. It truly means a lot to have supported so many already & to have a full schedule into the future. God has & continues to bless me on this journey. Doula work is truly a calling & I am so glad to share it with you all. Here’s to a 2026 filled with healthy births, thriving babies, & happy families💕

I left the homebirth this morning & went straight to the hospital to support this first time mama.
This client reached out when I was already booked for August. She was willing to do a co-doula setup with & me. This is just becoming my favorite thing! Two doulas to provide clients with loving care.
And it worked in this mama’s favor. Because Alysha supported her for a few hours while I was at the other birth.
This mama rocked her unmedicated hospital birth with such strength. And I was so glad she felt well cared for even when I couldn’t be there for a bit of it💕

Very blessed to witness such a special homebirth this morning💕 Rainbow babies are always extra special🌈

VBAC success story! Early this morning I got to witness a repeat client achieve her VBAC! Despite many hurdles, including an induction & with her baby coming out straight OP & with a nuchal hand!
Also, this is the second VBAC mama in 2 months I’ve had that had a baby who was LOT, in which we did position work, & then the baby rotated & came out OP! Proves babies are smart & know the best way out for them.

Today I was witness to a powerful unmedicated birth. This was this mamas second baby. She had a medicated birth with her first baby. And wanted a different experience this time. She decided to go to Mercy Birth Center this time & hire me. I’m so proud of all the work she put into preparing for this birth. It paid off! She had her baby 13 hours after contractions started & just a few hours after arriving at the birth center.
This birth was such a demonstration of worship. Beautiful music played. There was communion in the tub (same tub a client took communion in a few months ago🥰). Prayer. Read scripture. Such a holy experience!

This afternoon I was blessed to witness a family welcome their second baby at home.

Mama started feeling some inconsistent stuff last night. We discussed doing Spinning Babies & Miles Circuit to see if things changed. I was awoken by a text at 5 am saying my advice worked & things were progressing. It was still early so I waited another few hours until I was needed. I arrived to contractions 6 minutes apart & a beautifully coping mama. She leaned forward & I did counter pressure while her husband setup the tub.
I turned lights off & music on. Eventually contractions were closer & feeling more intense, although I had a hard time noticing because this mama coped so well! We text the midwife that my client felt she should come.
And then things changed fast. An innocent trip to the bathroom started sounding like pushing. And just a few minutes & contractions later, water broke & baby started emerging, 3 minutes before the midwife was due to arrive. But this family handled everything calmly & the midwife walked in to assist in the rest of baby being born.
I counsel clients, with subsequent babies, that they will turn a corner & all of a sudden things will change fast. And this birth was the epitome of that! Baby was born two hours after I arrived!
Happy Birthday little one!

Our Story

Babies and mothers intrinsically know what to do during the birthing process. As a doula, I am there to provide them the reassurance and tools they need to birth as they were meant. I am also there to help families embark on a journey of a healthy and mindful pregnancy. I teach the benefits of being prepared for your optimal birth long before setting foot into the birthing space. And I help partners connect deeply during the pregnancy. The most important person in the room with the birthing mother is their partner, as only they can bring the magic of love and deep connection into the birthing space. I teach partners how to support the mother during pregnancy and labor, so that they can take the place that they need to when the time comes. I am blessed to have such an amazing calling and look forward to helping your family start a new chapter in your lives!
