Welcome, I’m McKenna.

As your doula, I will meet you wherever you are at in your birth journey preparation. Together, we will explore your fears, worries, excitements, dreams, and goals for your birth experience. My hope is for you to be able to meet your birth feeling prepared, calm, supported, excited, informed, and confident in your own innate abilities and wisdom to bring your baby earthside.

Birth is a sacred rite of passage that I will honor, hold space for, and witness you through.

During our time together, we will go over basic birth education and evidence-based birth practices to create a birth plan that aligns with your unique goals and vision for birth. We’ll learn practical ways for you and your partner to be each other’s best supports including providing you with a plethora of comfort measures, as well as addressing any underlying fears and anxieties around birth.

“Because I know I am made from this Earth, as my mother’s hands were made from this earth. ~ and all that I know, I know from this Earth …

… all that I know speaks to me through this Earth ~ and I long to tell you, you who are the Earth too, and listen as we speak to each other of what we know; the light is in us.

Doula support that nurtures you through the primal, sacred nature of birth. Guided by the ancient wisdom of Earth, your own body, and our ancestors before us.

Mother’s Blessings that are curated to honor you, the transformative rite of passage you are about to embark on, and your journey from Maiden to Mother.

Womb Tending Sessions offer a trauma-informed space for gentle massage, herbal support, and ritual to reconnect with and nourish your womb.

Organic plant allies gathered with intention, honoring ancient traditions in small batch blends of teas, herbs, oils, etc. to support you body and soul in all seasons and cycles.

  • You desire a sacred, transformative birth experience and wish to honor the rite of passage that is birth.

  • You plan to prepare for the birth you envision by doing inner and physical work (i.e. reading birth books/podcasts, taking a birth class, fear-releasing/addressing, meditation/visualization practices).

  • You are seeking to embrace low-intervention birth options and care about evidence-based practices.

  • You are open to building deep trust in your body and its innate wisdom.

  • You find peace and grounding in nature, and perhaps even feel called to connect with Earth as you prepare for your journey into motherhood.

  • You regularly engage in some sort of spiritual practice or rituals (such as journaling, tea, prayer, breathwork, meditation, yoga, walking barefoot etc). If you don’t currently engage in these ways but are willing to, answer yes.

  • You are mindful of nourishing your body throughout pregnancy, daily movement is important to you, and you are preparing to honor and create care for yourself postpartum.

  • You strive to cultivate community.

  • You are looking to experience this birth as a healing experience.

  • You are seeking an empowering birth experience that allows you to fully step into your strength in motherhood.

If you align with these practices, ideas, and values please get in touch with me, I would love to work with you!

  • I love McKenna! She was exactly the doula that I needed. Her attention to detail and social cues is amazing! She has a knack for knowing what you need when you don’t even know what you need. She also doesn’t only do birth support but comes before and after the birth to help with whatever you need and she even brought me dinner and nursing snacks after the baby came! I knew the minute I heard her friendly voice over the phone that she was the one I needed to hire and I talked to quite a few other doulas before choosing her !

  • McKenna was the perfect doula for our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey with our second child. She had the most beautiful, positive energy and always made us feel loved and cared for. Looking back on my birth, one of my favorite parts was seeing McKenna smile and show her passion for birth work. She was also fantastic with our first son consistently interacting with him and make him feel important. We could not recommend McKenna more. There's no doubt in my mind that she will continue helping families in the birth world and encourage positive changes.

  • McKenna was so helpful through our whole experience! I wanted to make sure to have someone with amazing energy and someone who would support our desire for a sacred birth; she was definitely that! She was professional and loving, I love that I truly feel like I’ve gained a best friend! We will definitely use her for all our births!
