After a less than ideal delivery of my first baby in 2023, I knew I wanted a different experience the second time around. From the start, Mackinzie made me feel so supported. Her knowledge, both from personal experience and professional training, gave me confidence that I was in good hands. She walked me through every medical decision, explaining the pros and cons in a way that made sense and helped me feel empowered to make the best choices for myself and my baby. Mackinzie was incredibly responsive, answering every question I had and even going above and beyond to help me navigate my insurance provider. She was the advocate I hoped for and the encouragement I needed to stick with my birth plan. I felt truly cared for, and it was clear she cared about my baby too. I can’t recommend her enough to any parent-to-be!

“My wife and I had an incredible birth experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing doula. having Mackinzie there to provide extra comfort and guidance was invaluable. As a husband, I felt so much more at ease knowing my wife was in such capable and caring hands.”

After having an emergency C-section with my first birth, I was really hoping for a vaginal delivery the second time around. That first experience had left both my husband and me questioning whether we had all the information we needed to make informed decisions. During my second pregnancy, we were told the baby was on the smaller side and advised to consider induction or another C-section. That’s when we decided—late in the pregnancy—to bring on a doula who could support our goal of a VBAC and help guide us through the process. We’re so glad we found Mackinzie. She truly understood and respected our birth choices, and helped us feel more confident and prepared—emotionally and mentally. She stood by us, helping to advocate for what we wanted. During labor, she kept things progressing, offering new strategies and positions that helped us stay positive and focused. Mackinzie was an incredible support not just for me, but also for my husband. Her presence was exactly what we both needed to turn this birth into a deeply empowering and memorable experience. Mackinzie also offers photography services, and we were lucky to have her capture some beautiful moments during the birth and with our newborn. Those photos are now some of our most cherished memories. We can’t express enough how grateful we are to have had her by our side.

“Mackinzie was absolutely invaluable to me and my wife the day of the procedure. She was instrumental in preparing us for every step of the process. From navigating conversations with the medical team, making sure mom’s needs were addressed, and even supporting me when needed. Her knowledge and expertise exceeds her experience in the formal doula role. We are indebted to her and will not hesitate to utilize her services again.”

“Words can't express how grateful I am for Mackinzie. She was an absolute rockstar throughout my entire labor and delivery. From the moment things started, she was there, providing unwavering support not just for me, but for my husband too. She anticipated our needs before we even knew them, offering comfort, encouragement, and practical assistance. She helped me manage the intensity of labor with breathing exercises, her wooden comb and massage, and her calm presence was so reassuring. What truly sets her apart is her ability to connect on a deeper level. She understood my birth vision and empowered me to trust my body. And to top it all off, she captured the most beautiful, heartfelt photos of our daughter's arrival. These images are priceless and will forever remind me of the incredible strength I found during that experience. She is truly the full package – a compassionate, knowledgeable, and talented doula. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting parent!”

"We are so incredibly grateful for Mackinzie and the support she gave us during our birth. Our original doula had to leave due to the length of my labor, and Mackinzie stepped in seamlessly — we instantly felt supported and cared for. She came to the hospital fully prepared, bringing essential oils, offering comforting foot massages, and using pressure points that truly helped move labor along. Mackinzie was not only calm and encouraging, but also a strong advocate for me with the doctors and nurses. She helped us understand our options and made sure we felt informed and empowered throughout the process. During pushing, she was an incredible motivator and helped guide me into effective positions. After our baby was born, Mackinzie’s support didn’t stop — she immediately helped with latching, gave me hands-on guidance with hand expression, and helped collect colostrum. Her presence made such a difference in our experience. We are so thankful she was part of our journey."

My husband and I were initially hesitant about hiring a doula—we weren’t sure if it was something we truly needed. But after meeting Mackinzie, everything changed. She immediately put us at ease with her warm, compassionate presence and deep knowledge. We felt an instant connection and knew we were in good hands. Surprisingly ,I went into labor the very next day after our first meeting. Mackinzie jumped right in, guiding and supporting us through the entire experience. Her calm coaching and encouragement helped us stay grounded and focused throughout our goal of having a first-time unmedicated delivery. She supported not just me, but my husband as well, helping him feel confident and involved during every step. Mackinzie’s support didn’t stop after birth. During the postpartum period, she continued to check in and offered incredibly helpful resources that made a huge difference in our transition as new parents. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who’s still considering hiring a doula!

“I am incredibly grateful to have had Mackinzie as my doula for my first pregnancy. Throughout my journey, I faced many complications, but her knowledge and guidance gave me peace of mind leading up to delivery. On the day of birth, she was not only an advocate but also a reassuring presence - helping me navigate medical decisions with her experience and translating complex information in a way that made me feel empowered. When my baby was taken to the NICU, her support was exactly what I needed during such an emotional moment. I truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate, knowledgeable, and steady presence during this experience.”

"She is absolutely the best doula I have ever come across. Her priority is making sure her client has all the care and support they need. She will go above and beyond to ensure that. "

"As a husband and birth partner, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Mackinzie’s presence and support during our birthing experience. From the moment labor began, she brought a calm and confident energy into the room that helped both of us feel more grounded and secure. She wasn’t just there for my wife—she supported me as well, helping me understand how I could be helpful and stay present throughout the process. Her guidance on breathing techniques, positioning, and comfort measures made a real difference, especially during the more intense moments of labor. What I appreciated most was how she intuitively balanced being involved and stepping back—always available when we needed her, but never intrusive. She truly respected our space and our choices while offering steady, compassionate care. One of the most meaningful things she did was quietly capture photographs during the birth. We didn’t even notice at the time, but those photos ended up being some of the most powerful and beautiful moments of our lives—ones we will treasure forever. Even after the birth, Mackinzie continued to check in, offering encouragement and resources that made the early days of parenthood feel a little less overwhelming. We’re incredibly thankful to have had her by our side during such a pivotal and emotional chapter of our lives."
