Hey there! Congratulations on all that is to come. I am very proud to offer both birth and postpartum services. I have always been fascinated with the process of birth and pregnancy, and after having experienced it myself, I found doula work to be intentional and powerful. I believe there is no wrong way to deliver, and no wrong way to mother, as long as the mother has been educated and is fully involved in the decision-making process. As a doula, I bring education, emotional support, and friendship to this journey's exciting yet vulnerable time.

As a mom of two young ones, one being autistic, I know the difficulty of being a parent with unique challenges. Each of us have them.

Hello! I'm McKenna. I'm a birth and postpartum doula based in Seattle. I believe that birth and parenting can be some of the most radical and transformative experiences. I provide support that is tailored to each and every family I work with, as no two births and no two postpartum experiences are the same. I believe there is no right or wrong way to birth your baby and I support a wide variety of types of births.

The support we need during birth and early parenting is intimate, it is unique to each person experiencing it. It is a vulnerable time, one in which we are forced to expose the most raw and real version of ourselves. We need personalized care that addresses our physical, and emotional needs. We need an expert who is committed to our process and our transition through it.
