We at Birth Partners Kansas City believe in empowering women through education and support to experience birth as it was meant to be.

As society has gotten more complex, we have lost our intuitive knowledge of childbirth. Birth Partners instructor Angie Scharnhorst works with mothers through early pregnancy and childbirth classes to help them understand and trust their bodies, allowing for more positive, healthier births.

In 12-week childbirth classes, the mother's husband, partner, friend or other family member learns skills to coach the mother through labor and birth. The Birth Partners' doulas work with mothers and coaches to make them more comfortable during labor, ease worries and concerns and utilize time-proven traditions for making childbirth easier.

Welcome to our website, which is designed to give you the information and resources you need to make an informed decision about your birth experience. Learn more about our doulas and the services and support they provide. We also encourage you to read our resources section in order to learn more about healthy childbirth and beyond.

The birth of a child is one of the most significant events of your life. Childbirth is something no woman wants to take lightly. With the help of Birth Partners, you gain the knowledge and support that you need to work toward a happy, healthy birthing experience.
