Purple Lotus Doulas

We believe every birth deserves a doula.

This is your birth journey. We are a full spectrum doula collective who provide physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after your birth experience.  

We are birth professionals who strive to provide knowledgeable and compassionate doula services to women of diverse socio-economic backgrounds, races, ethnicities, ages, belief systems, sexual orientations, ability and health statuses, family structures, and birth choices/outcomes in the greater St. Louis and South Central Illinois region.
