Meet your doula
I was raised in the land nestled under the wings of the Wasatch Mountains and consider myself a daughter of that land. I am a wife, a mother, an eldest daughter, a seeker of knowledge, and a creature who cherishes the rhythms of nature and the wisdom found in Earth.
My days are filled with simple rituals of tea, yoga, and going barefoot with my daughter. I am blessed with the ability to spend time creating home for my family and myself. I am learning the art of herbalism and wildcrafting—I find there’s a quiet magic in crafting healing potions from Earth’s bounty. In my spare time, you can find me with my hands in the soil tending to my garden, starting another DIY project that has yet to be completed, or consuming my latest book. I find joy in cultivating community and sitting in sacred circle with other women as well as hiking with my daughter along the wild trails that wind through the mountains near our home.
My journey into birth work began after the birth of my daughter. Thrown into the challenge of a difficult pregnancy, I was hungry for knowledge, devouring everything I could find to prepare the Maiden that I was the best I could for the portal of birth that laid ahead. My birth was empowering and transcendent. I emerged deeply aware of the sacredness of this rite of passage. It was not just the birth of my daughter but my own re-birth. The fire I felt for birth education grew and I began to feel “the call” to support others through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Now, I am honored to walk alongside women and families as they embark on their own transformative journeys into parenthood. To support, to guide, to hold space for, and witness such a sacred and intimate experience is both a privilege and a profound responsibility. As a birth worker, I stand as a student of Earth, the human body, and the wisdom of the generations of women before me. Each birth I attend fills me with deep gratitude for the trust placed in me, and I feel honored to accompany these families through their own sacred stories.
I hope this gives you an idea of who I am, and that you feel welcome in this space. I look forward to meeting you!
Hi, I’m McKenna.
