Meet the DOULA

My name is McKenna and I’m a postpartum doula and a newborn care specialist dedicated to helping families feel confident, supported, and cared for during one of the most transformative times in life.

I’ve worked with children since I was 12 as a babysitter, infant teacher, and nanny before having two kids of my own. My journey into birth and newborn care began from a place of deep empathy and purpose. I’ve always been fascinated by the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of parenthood.

In 2019, I became a surrogate and delivered twins for two dads. Experiencing birth from that perspective opened my heart to the incredible impact that compassion, knowledge, and inclusive support can have on both parents and babies.

My goal is to bring calm, reassurance, and evidence-based care into your home so you can rest, recover, and bond with your baby while feeling completely supported.

A few OF MY FAVORITE things

A woman with long brown hair and glasses is standing behind two children, a girl and a boy, against a brick wall. The children's faces are obscured by large red hearts. The girl has long wavy hair, is wearing a light blue dress with buttons and a white cardigan, and is standing with her hands clasped. The boy has short hair, is wearing a navy polo shirt and khaki shorts, and stands with his right arm hanging loosely by his side.
