Hi there. My name is Kennadi… I live in Muskegon, Michigan and after experiencing a wonderful home birth in 2020 I became so excited to have the opportunity to become a birth and postpartum doula. I believe every birthing family has the right to their autonomy and voice, and I remain a fierce advocate and support for the wishes of each and every family. This passion will never die inside of me, so I am ready now and always to be there for those in need. You can do this! And I will lift you up while you do.

I provide prenatal support, understanding the birthing person’s wants and needs in regards to their pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum. I ensure each family has complete informed consent when it comes to their care and their newborn’s care, offering evidence based facts. I’m really here to make sure those who are pregnant are confident and empowered in their decisions in regards to their body and baby… all the while providing physical and emotional support wherever they need it. I’m an advocate until the end!
☆☆☆☆☆ - 5 stars I just want to start by saying that this woman is OUTSTANDING! Let that sink in real quick. When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was absolutely terrified in every aspect. I was on my way to being a first time mom, and I had no clue what I was doing or even about to have to do once I had my baby. Someone suggested that I look into hiring a doula to assist me. So I started looking around, and that's when someone had suggested Kennadi. My first initial meeting with Kennadi went better than I could have imagined. She is very personable, and I immediately felt comfortable around her. She is very compassionate, nurturing, outgoing, helpful, knowledgeable, has great sense of humor, she is committed, and just an all around wonderful person. Throughout my pregnancy, she never once made me feel like I was alone. She helped me to feel more confident in my new adventure, and my big belly at the time. Kennadi was always checking in on me, and making sure that my pregnancy was going as well as it could. Being pregnant was tough, and pretty nerve wracking to be honest. But I can honestly say that it would have been much worse without her. When it came time for baby, it by no means went as I had hoped. But that's how pregnancy goes, right? Giving birth went from being scary, to what felt like an outright nightmare in minutes. Yet Kennadi was so supportive me, and cheered me on through everything. Even after birth, she has been so good to my new family and I. Having the extra support, made a world of difference, and having her specifically, by my side, I couldn't have asked for a better support system, truly. So with all that being said, if you are looking to make your birth experience as positive as possible, Kennadi is definitely the woman to have in your corner no doubt! 10/10 would highly recommend her and her services to anyone.
