Our mission

Bluebird Birth began because there was a huge gap in the world of holistic and "other" birthwork- that is, birthwork for marginalized and underserved people. A large majority of birthworkers charge a large amount of money (as they should, they deserve a living wage!) But, it's left a massive gap in the care, support, and education available for those in communities who wouldn't be able to afford that level of experience, or wouldn’t feel welcome in the typical environment, which is often who needs the education and support the most.

So, we work with LGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrant, solo parents, disabled parents, those who are struggling with addiction or in recovery, poly families, basically anything you could imagine that doesn’t fit the typical white-cis-hetero clients in the holistic birth world (we still work with them, too!). We offer intersectional care and support to those who wouldn't be able to achieve such in the typical doula/holistic birth environment. Roughly 80% of our clients qualify for public aid, and we operate using a tier-based payment system based on need. We hope to become an integral part of the birth community that meets a need and fills a gap unlike any other organization.

Currently, we cover the entire Kansas City Metro, Springfield, Columbia, and Central Missouri, including but not limited to Lake of the Ozarks, Rolla, Lebanon, Fort Leonard Wood, and beyond.
