Meet Chelsea

Postpartum Doula | Certified Sleep Coach

 

Originally from New Hampshire, Chelsea moved to Kansas City in 2016 when her husband began his doctoral studies at UMKC. After a few years away, they’re thrilled to be back—this time for good.

She provides overnight postpartum support and is also a trained sleep coach, bringing a steady, reassuring presence to families in those first weeks and months with a newborn. Her love of babies started early (like, toddler-level early!), and she spent her younger years babysitting, nannying, and eventually teaching music to children from Pre-K through 6th grade for nearly a decade. After having her own baby in 2021, she felt firsthand how vital postpartum support truly is—and knew it was time to follow that calling.

She trained as a postpartum doula through DONA International and brings with her a background in Music Education, a deep well of compassion, and a natural instinct for what families need to feel confident, rested, and seen.

Known for her calm presence, thoughtful planning, and ability to tune in to what’s needed in the moment, Chelsea is a favorite among new parents navigating the newborn haze. Outside of doula work, she loves music (listening, playing, or singing!), getting outside for a good run, and going on adventures—big or small—with her husband, daughter & son.
