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.

I provide information as well as physical and emotional support to help ensure that the birth space is conducive to the new family's ideal birth. I view birth as one of the most holy & blessed events that people partake in and I want to help make your birth truly your own!

My 11th year as a doula started strong, I was present for a client’s successful & very joyful ECV. Then I popped right across the street to support a repeat client with an induction. Which ended this morning in the most amazing, powerful vaginal birth of an almost 11 lb baby💕

I’m seeing rates of higher BP & diagnoses of hypertension & pre-e (during pregnancy, birth, & postpartum) more so than I’ve ever seen in my 11 years of doing this work. And I’m not seeing a lot from the medical community as far as prevention beyond daily baby aspirin or management beyond eventual induction (& if bad enough during birth, magnesium drip & BP meds).
It’s become such a concern I feel I had to put this information together for clients. Help does exist out there but it tends to live outside Western medical facilities. Prevention is possible for some but it tends to happen when clients receive tailored support. And some have been able to manage it well enough to continue being pregnant longer than expected, giving their babies time to get stronger in utero. And also keep themselves safer.

Wow! This baby was in a hurry! So much so he arrived in triage just 10 minutes after my clients walked into the hospital. And 6 minutes before I parked. And just one hour after I was told things were maybe consistent! But what a redemptive birth! This was a repeat client. Her initial VBAC with me was a bit hairy so this birth was quite different. I’m so proud of this client for handling this precipitous birth so well💕

It’s a lovely time to hire a doula for your 2027 birth!
Doula support has been proven to improve birth outcomes, lower rates of unnecessary/unwanted intervention, as well as increase maternal satisfaction & breastfeeding rates.
Hiring a doula long before your birth helps ensure:
🤰you have time to shop around & secure the doula that is right for you.
🤰have time to utilize all of her resources so you can set yourself up for those improved outcomes!
🤰get to know her long before she steps into your intimate birth space.
🤰have time to establish a solid birth plan, talk with your team about it, & switch to a new provider if the current one isn’t so supportive of said birth plan.

If you’d like to talk with me about how my services could enhance your experience, please reach out! Consultations are always free!

Hiring a doula goes well beyond support for the day of. Being present on your baby’s birthday is definetely a big chunk of what we do but just imagine:

🧘‍♀️If your baby is malpositioned at birth doulas know all the labor positions to help baby turn BUT doulas also know how to help your baby get into optimal position during pregnancy, like Spinning Babies exercises & recommendations on the best Webster chiropractor recommendations.
🤔Doulas can help you mentally deal with the tough parts of birth BUT doulas can also recommend ways to mentally prepare long before then, like fear release exercises & recommendations on counseling to help you process past birth trauma.
📝Doulas can be great advocates in the birth space BUT we also know how to help you formulate the best birth plan for you, how to communicate your needs to your provider & help you understand if you are with the right birth team so advocacy & “fighting” can be kept to a minimum.
🥥🫐🥑 A doula can help you navigate the complexity of interventions if they become medically necessary BUT we can also provide referrals to practitioners & information that can help prevent some common pregnancy ailments.

Doulas do improve birth outcomes. Doula support has been proven to increase the likelihood of a low to no intervention birth, improve maternal satisfaction, lead to healthier babies, & better rates of breastfeeding. But it’s not just the act of saying you have a doula on your team that brings about better outcomes. It’s about doing the work your doula recommends long before you feel your first contraction.

I’m honored to help families prepare for better births. And I’m blessed to have the knowledge, experience, wisdom, & ability to start helping families long before their births. That’s what makes doula care unique!

This event is coming up! It’s a great way for my clients to get to know my backup doulas. It’s rare they are needed but when they are I want my clients to feel at peace with who is supporting them. I trust all of the women in this group but you getting to know them personally is just another way to feel well supported. I take backup support very seriously as birth is unpredictable & even with the best laid plans I can’t guarantee I can be there 100% of the time for 100% of my clients. This event will be in person or through Zoom, so if you prefer Zoom look in your email for a link! I’m excited to see you soon!

Very early this morning I was blessed to witness a family welcome their first baby! This mama did an amazing job navigating the complexities of induction & using the interventions that made sense for her. And it paid off because she got a vaginal birth!
