Mackenzie has been a crucial part of my delivery and postpartum journey. She has a vast knowledge of pregnancy, delivery and postpartum including but not limited to lactation, infant care, and mental health. Mackenzie has radiated positivity and warmth in every interaction my husband and I had with her, and you can just tell how much she cares! 

I started looking for doula in the last few weeks of my third trimester. I came across Mackenzie's profile, and getting to know her has been a game changer for us. In week 39, I was advised to deliver immediately due to the risk factor to my daughter. Mackenzie showed a great deal of flexibility around my changing schedule. Throughout all the communications, she has been very flexible, calm, and extremely supportive. Our plan was to hire Mackenzie for postpartum support at the hospital while my husband cares for our toddler. However, due to the other emergencies happened at the hospital, my planned cesarean pushed to later in the day conflicting my husband's availability. I reached out to Mackenzie to check her availability, and she graciously made herself available for my birth. Mackenzie has this special gift of gently anticipating what I needed before I even knew it myself. She communicated clearly with my care team and has been advocate for me throughout all surgery. She recorded every moment of surgery for my husband, while reassuring me that my baby girl is doing great. At any stressful moment of surgery, Mackenzie made a meaningful and knowledgeable comment to make me calm and reduce my stress. 

During my postpartum, she stayed up all night with me, helping me feed and take care of the baby from hand expressing milk and helping with latching. I wholeheartedly felt the love and care that Mackenzie extended to myself, my husband, and our newborn daughter. Mackenzie truly is next level with her support before, during, and after birth and I can’t recommend her enough!

The first days after bringing a new baby home are really tough. MacKenzie was immensely helpful in giving us some extra rest, advice, and support while we built our confidence and figured out what worked. We were so grateful for her kind and compassionate help!
