With a background in special education and a master’s degree in anthropology and education, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experiences to my work as a postpartum doula. I have a passion for helping people, cultivated through various roles including as a special education teacher, service coordinator for children with disabilities, and as a Behavior Specialist Consultant. These experiences, as well as being a mother myself, shape my approach, allowing me to provide non-judgmental support that respects each family’s unique circumstances. My empathetic nature, attentive listening, and calm warmth create a safe and caring space for all my clients. Beyond my commitment to postpartum care, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, traveling, cooking, reading, and creating.

Hi everyone! My name is Kenna and I am currently a neonatal ICU nurse. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with my BSN and have been working in the NICU at one of the local hospitals for the last 2 and a half years. I am looking to help women who are freshly postpartum take care for their newborns! I have thousands of hours of experience caring for newborn babies and I would love to help new moms get some sleep or some time to themselves! Taking care of a new baby is absolutely exhausting and of course, it takes a village to raise a child :) I have countless certifications including Act 73 (FBI), Act 33 (Pennsylvania Criminal Record Clearance), Act 34 (Child Abuse), CPR (Basic Life Support), and NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation/Infant CPR). Along with this, I am a breastfeeding counselor (CBC) and of course have my RN license. I am up to date on vaccinations and have a recent clear drug screen. All certifications and clearances are available upon request!

I am a birth and postpartum doula, registered hypno babies doula and placenta encapsulation specialist. I have attended births of many kinds. I have been in birthwork for 11 years or so. Before that I was a nanny.

As a Certified Labor Doula working in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area since 2020, I offer personalized birthing, lactation, and postpartum support as well as childbirth & postpartum education. My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about pregnancy, delivery, feeding, and parenting. ​ I am inspired by women's strength and the miracle of birth. This inspiration is why I became a Certified Labor Doula through Maternity Wise and am proud to serve women and families throughout South Western Pennsylvania. I first became interested in becoming a doula in 2017 when I became inspired by a supportive doula I hired for my second and third pregnancies. I was later encouraged to become a doula by a close friend, who then was the first mother I could serve as an educator and doula. ​ I have three little boys of my own, and have had a hospital OBGYN, midwife center, and homebirth experience. I know what it is like to give birth and navigate both within and outside the industrial birth complex. I have personal experience with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies and what it is like to be concerned about the unknowns on the other side of delivery. In addition, I have experienced the benefits and relief of having a doula present to guide me through the portal of birth into the role of motherhood. ​ Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, delivery, and parenting. It is good to have someone to remind them that they can persevere during this time of newness. I'm here to provide evidence-based education, and emotional, physical, and personalized support, along with advocacy for your rights. ​ Mothers and couples who work with me will find I highly value their maintained autonomy, including mother-led labor and delivery. I recognize birth as a non-medical event that occasionally needs medical attention. High-risk pregnancies need significantly more care than healthy pregnancies- but that high-risk model of care should not be used to care for all expectant mothers. In this vein, I acknowledge that women do not need to be empowered to give birth well or ecstatically. Instead, their autonomy, human rights, and dignity must be protected and remain intact. Under these aforementioned parameters, birth will naturally lead toward positive and non-traumatic perspectives of its' outcome. ​ Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, as a Christian, I am confident there is much truth to be ascertained in the metaphor of birth used throughout the Bible.
