Hello, I'm McKenna (she/they)!
I have gravitated toward caregiving roles for as long as I can remember, starting out as a babysitter when I was just a kid myself. I was a nanny for over a decade before becoming a doula and truly enjoy getting to support parents and families.

I’m a Full Spectrum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist offering support to the whole family before, during, and after the addition of a new family member. I strive to offer evidence-based, identity-affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed care to everyone and am always learning and evolving to be a better support to those I serve.

McKenna is passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and empowering birth experience to her clients. I am impressed with the amount of time she has dedicated to learn through classes, books, and experiences to support parents. I highly recommend McKenna for any parent needing a birth or postpartum doula.

McKenna was definitely God sent for us. During our first interview with her when we worried about the lack of support and receiving this from someone we do not know, McKenna was reassuring; her steady, thoughtful approach to how she can help us convinced us of her service.
Days leading up to my due date, she followed up everyday on any symptoms and discomfort I may have, often providing encouragement and home remedies.
After days of false labor, on the day I was actually in labor but yet doubtful, McKenna drove home immediately without a moments hesitation to help us fully aware this could turn to be another false labor day.From back rubs to ensuring I stay hydrated, to helping me through nausea and tracking contractions she was with us every step and brought in her understanding of what’s going on and coping mechanisms. Her knowledge and steady yet comforting support helped me through the birth of our darling baby boy. I’ll be ever grateful.
