McKenna had very practical ways to cope with pain during labor and I really appreciated her soothing presence both before and during labor. Thank you for all that you do, McKenna!

Having McKenna as our birth doula was one of the best decisions we made. Her calming presence, knowledge, and unwavering support made the entire experience so much more manageable. From the moment we met, she provided invaluable guidance, answered all our questions, and empowered us to make informed choices. During labor, her soothing words and hands-on comfort measures were a true gift. We couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and dedicated support person. We are forever grateful for her role in welcoming our baby into the world.

From the initial consult with McKenna we knew she would be a wonderful fit for our family. McKenna made it clear how intentional she was in building a strong relationship and understanding for our goals, questions, hopes, and fears around the birth and postpartum experience. She was a gentle and supportive guide throughout the whole process. Her involvement was invaluable during our labor and postpartum for both myself and my wife. There were many reasons we prioritized having a doula; especially as a queer couple in a primarily cis/hetero space of a hospital (even with a supportive medical team) we would want another layer of advocacy so we could focus on each other and our baby. McKenna’s presence gave us such peace of mind and comfort. We’re forever grateful to have her as part of this transformative experience of becoming parents and welcoming our daughter into the world.

I am so thrilled that we chose McKenna as our birth and postpartum doula. Her prenatal meetings helped me navigate my birth preferences and make me feel calm and prepared as a first time mom. At the birth, her support was absolutely incredible. I'm not sure what we would have done without her! She guided me into good positions for laboring that I believe really helped things progress. She was calm and encouraging all the way through, and I felt so well taken care of! She made sure that I got to see my placenta before they took it out of the room, which was one of my requests. After the birth, McKenna checked in on us postpartum in the early days, and my husband and I used her postpartum hours to get out of the house on our own for a few date nights. We felt at ease that our baby was in great hands with her.

My family and I are very grateful for having McKenna as our birth doula! We didn't meet until I was in labor, but that didn't change the way she provided care and support. As soon as she got to my home she was hands on helping me get through my contractions and was always giving words of encouragement. If you are looking for a doula you can 100% count on and that will do anything in their hands to help you and get there before baby, this is the doula for you! Highly recommend her services.

Where do I start, having McKenna as our doula was great. I was initially on the fence of having a doula, but I'm so glad I decided on the extra support. My first induction experience was a bit traumatic and my anxiety was really high after finding out I was pregnant again. McKenna always answered my questions with no judgement and was reassuring through my pregnancy and the induction process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who may be thinking about having a doula support them with pregnancy and or postpartum.

I have seen Mckenna's work first and second hand and I am always beyond impressed with her comprehensive knowledge, nurturing personality, and respect she gives her clients. I have learned so much from watching her care directly for her clients. She knows ALL the tips and tricks for common birth and newborn challenges and she explains them to you in a non-judgmental in depth way that makes you feel empowered to then utilize those skills on your own. I would (and do!) recommend Mckenna to EVERYONE I know. One of Seattle's best.

McKenna is a great full spectrum doula that is very supportive and flexible! Highly recommend! When my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our second, we knew we wanted a little more support. Luckily, we met McKenna who offered both birth and postpartum doula services. I was especially grateful to have her help with navigating logistics for our toddler and dogs as most of our family lives abroad. McKenna provided me with reassurance and immediate doula assistance when my pregnancy turned into an unplanned homebirth (there was not enough time to get to the hospital or even get through the UW Medicine phone tree!). Thanks to McKenna, I had a wonderful, healthy, and very positive birth experience. She also helped ease my stress during postpartum by helping out with my family so my husband and I could catch up on (much needed) sleep.

McKenna was such a blessing during our transition to parenthood. Her presence during my c section helped keep me and my husband relaxed and prepared. She made sure we were both getting our needs met before, during and after the procedure. We couldn't be more appreciative of all her help during the postpartum period. She made sure chores were done, food was prepped, and baby was happy so we could nap, shower, and get outside. She also shared so much of her knowledge with us and taught us how to swaddle and give our baby his first bath. We gained so much confidence because of all McKenna's support and we are so happy to recommend her.

McKenna was a fabulous doula. I had been searching for Doula not very long before I gave birth. I decided last minute that I would like to work with one for my second pregnancy. She was very attentive to my needs, and understood exactly where I was coming from with my vision for my birth plan. She was personable, kind, knowledgeable, and showed up exactly on time for when I went to the hospital. She provided a lot of emotional support during the laboring process, as well as helped me get through the contractions by having me try a few different methods to help ease the pain. My favorite was when she massaged my back and hips! She is passionate about what she does and dedicated to her job. I recommend her for anyone looking. I already left for their Pregnancy.
