Hi, I’m Heidi! Here’s a bit about me…

After working in newborn and maternity support for over five years, I welcomed my first child into this world while going to school full-time. For someone with half a decade of experience in baby care, I was shocked how hard the transition into motherhood hit me and my family.

When approaching business school graduation a year later, I was telling my husband about how I wanted to work for an organization that provided hands on support to all different types of families during the pregnancy to newborn transition, and he pointed out that it sounded like I actually wanted to be a doula. I quickly rejected the idea because I thought doulas only really had a role in holistically centered birth settings, and I felt like those groups were already well supported in our community.

After doing some research, I was encouraged that doulas can meet the needs of so many different types of families and birth preferences! My hope for The Bloc is that all kinds of families with various goals can come together in one place to break down the parent-shaming culture and help each other have access to support. And that is why our “Choose What You Pay” Program exists. 10% of everything we makes goes into this scholarship program, so by working with The Bloc, you are lifting up the other families in Kansas City by helping them afford access to doula support!
