WHO AM I?
My name is Mackenzie, and I’m a mother, wife, and homemaker living on a small homestead just outside of Airdrie, Alberta. I share this life with my husband, our three beautiful daughters, and a lively collection of animals who keep things interesting every day.
My journey into birth work began long before I had children of my own. Pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood have always been a deep calling for me. When my first daughter was born, I was supported by an incredible doula, and through that experience, I knew this was the path I wanted to pursue. After welcoming my second and third daughter at home, I felt ready to take the next step into the meaningful world of supporting mothers.
Motherhood is one of the most profound roles we will ever embrace, and having the right support as you navigate that transformation is essential. As a Certified Birth Doula and Registered Massage Therapist, I am honored to walk alongside women and families as they prepare for and experience one of life’s most powerful moments — the journey into motherhood.
