Lilly Rotert

Postpartum Doula | Infant Care Specialist

Hi there! I’m originally from Ballard, Missouri — a tiny town about two hours south of Kansas City with a population of around 150. I came up to Kansas City for school and work, and I’m so excited to now be supporting families here during such a special time in their lives.

I’m a trained postpartum doula and infant care specialist, and I’ve always been drawn to helping others, especially when they’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. I grew up in a close-knit community where taking care of each other was just what you did — that mindset stuck with me.

What led me specifically to postpartum work was seeing how many families struggle after childbirth — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. There’s so much attention on the baby, but new parents often feel isolated or unsupported. When I learned about the role of a doula, it just clicked. I knew I wanted to be that calm, knowledgeable presence who helps families feel grounded, cared for, and more confident in those early weeks.

Outside of supporting families, I love spending time with my boyfriend, hanging out with my dog Ted (he’s the best walking buddy!), and being outdoors. I grew up hunting and still love it when I get the chance. I also enjoy traveling, playing sports, and watching movies — especially scary ones! Horror is definitely my favorite genre.

I’m currently finishing my associate’s degree in science and business, and I plan to continue growing in this work by pursuing additional training in lactation support and perinatal mental health. One day, I’d love to mentor new doulas and help make postpartum care more accessible and compassionate for every family — especially those in underserved communities.
