About me

Hi, I’m Marie McKenzie, also known as Dr. Soul — a holistic practitioner specializing in subconscious reprogramming, soulful healing, and nurturing the family dynamic as a full-spectrum doula. I’ve been walking this path since 2022, and I’ve deeply fallen in love with female anatomy and feminine energy. I take pride in sharpening my knowledge and staying current in maternal health studies. In my work, I blend the scientific and spiritual, honoring the sacred transitions families move through during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I help nurture the familial foundation of my clients, ensuring both parents are emotionally, mentally, and physically prepared to welcome the new soul entering their lives. Within the safe space we co-create, you’ll feel held, informed, and empowered as you navigate your birth and postpartum journey. I’m here to advocate for you and ensure that you — and your support system — understand your rights and feel confident making informed decisions.As a practitioner, I meet each client exactly where they are and approach my work with deep intentionality, ensuring you receive not just what you asked for — but what you didn’t know you needed. Would you honor me with the opportunity to walk with you during this sacred chapter of your life?

A Sacred Homecoming After 20 Years” I didn’t know how much I needed this. It’s been over 20 years since I gave birth, and yet my body—my womb—had been holding things I didn’t even realize. Grief. Silence. Stories. Experiencing the Closing Bones Ceremony with Dr. Soul was like being wrapped in love and truth all at once. She held space with such deep reverence, like she was listening not just to my words but to the parts of me I forgot how to speak from. This wasn’t just about healing from birth—it was about honoring the journey I never paused to feel. I walked away feeling lighter, more whole, more connected to myself as a woman. Dr. Soul’s spiritual presence, her grounded energy, and her ability to see beyond the surface—it’s something rare. This ceremony was closure, yes. But also rebirth. If you’re holding unspoken stories in your body, even decades later, let her guide you back home to yourself.
