Mackenzie Moore (she/her/hers) is a dedicated birth and postpartum doula, based in Columbus, Ohio whose journey into the world of birth and postpartum care was sparked by her firsthand experiences witnessing the importance of comprehensive support. Having interacted closely with pregnant individuals and cared for their newborns as families transitioned into parenthood, Mackenzie recognized the need for personalized and culturally sensitive assistance during this transformative time.

Motivated by a desire to better understand and address the unique challenges faced by black women in the context of the maternal health crisis, Mackenzie initiated conversations with coworkers, family members, and friends to gain insights into their birth experiences. These discussions provided her with a profound perspective on the specific support required, particularly within the black community.

What truly catalyzed Mackenzie's commitment to becoming a doula was a transformative moment when she came across a video featuring an all-black birthing team. Witnessing the team's genuine, attentive approach and active listening to their clients resonated deeply with Mackenzie, inspiring her to embark on her own path as a birth doula.

Currently employed at Mount Carmel (St. Anns, East, and Grove City) and with The Ohio Doulas, Mackenzie brings her passion for birthwork to the forefront, integrating her cultural and artistic perspective into her practice. Beyond her role as a birth and postpartum doula, she finds joy in immersing herself in the world of art, cultivating a balanced and fulfilling life. Eager to expand her knowledge and contribute meaningfully to the field, Mackenzie is enthusiastic about continuing her journey of learning and providing essential support to birthing individuals and their families.
