About Tena

Hey,

Thank you for stopping by to learn more about me. I am incredibly excited you are here!

What Lead Me to Doula Work

I have always had a passion for helping people. This passion lead me into a career in the mental health sector for the past five years here in the Durham Region. Then Covid happened and life turned upside down for me as I’m sure it did for many of you. I became a Mama in 2020 during the height of the pandemic and that transformative time opened my eyes and my heart to new parenthood. After realizing what a major transition motherhood and parenthood was, I knew I wanted to devote the rest of my career to supporting other parents on their journeys. I am a huge believer in the proverb “it takes a village” and I would be so honored to be a part of your village as you welcome your new baby into your family.

My Goal as a Doula

My goal is to support you through every moment, the tender and precious ones, and the difficult ones. I want you to feel confident that you have someone there for you and your growing family as you prepare for your baby’s arrival and beyond. Your comfort is key and I would love nothing more than to provide you with physical, emotional, mental, educational and practical support as you undergo your transition into parenthood; whether its for the first time or you're voyaging into parenthood again this time with little ones at home eager to meet their new sibling.

If you are interested in learning how I can support the unique needs of you and your growing family, please contact me for a free consultation.

I look forward to working together to create a support plan that empowers you to have a positive birth and postpartum experience!

Tenderly,

Tena McKay
