MEET McKenna | Nutritional therapy practitioner | FAM teacher | Birth Doula

Hello friend

I am your holistic conception coach and #1 fan throughout your entire fertility journey- from the moment you decide to prevent pregnancy naturally, to the time you decide to prepare your body for pregnancy, through your prenatal days, and during your birth.

In person and online, I help women optimize their fertility, have vibrant pregnancies, empowering births, and nourished motherhoods rooted in the innate creation of their bodies.

I attend births as a doula in Portland, OR and surrounding areas, including Hood River, OR, Lincoln City, OR, Astoria, OR, McMinnville, OR, and Vancouver, WA.

While I am happy and fully equipped to serve women who come from any background, I can happily offer faith-based doula services to mothers who wish for a Christian doula to attend their birth.

🎙️NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Fear has no authority over 🎙️NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Fear has no authority over your motherhood when your identity is in Christ👇👇

Today’s episode is one I have been so so excited to share with you.
I’m sat down with Elisabeth from @journeywithelisabeth to dive into the idea of fear in pregnancy and motherhood, and we ended up discussing so much more. 
We dove into fear, faith, pregnancy, motherhood, identity, and nourishment through the lens of scripture. 
Elizabeth shares her journey of stepping into motherhood, walking through pregnancy after loss, studying God’s Word, and learning to trust His design for women’s bodies.

We explore:
✨How the world shapes fear around motherhood

✨Why women must understand their menstrual cycles

✨How to prepare spiritually and physically for pregnancy

✨How minerals and whole-food nourishment make a huge difference

✨Identity in Christ vs identity in motherhood

✨Practical ways to root yourself in truth during the different stages of motherhood

✨Scriptures to meditate on when fear or overwhelm show up

✨How faith can anchor you in every season

Here are my top tips for blood sugar regulation✨ Here are my top tips for blood sugar regulation✨

Why this matters👉👉blood sugar regulation and fertility go hand in hand. Blood sugar impacts key hormones such as progesterone and estrogen. On top of this, unregulated blood sugar is a major stressor on the body, that can lead to internal inflammation that can negatively impact fertility.
In pregnancy, a mother’s blood sugar can hold lifelong impacts on the metabolism of their baby in utero, and establishing healthy blood sugar prior to and during pregnancy can positively impact a child’s lifelong metabolic function.
Thankfully, there are lots of incredible hacks to support blood sugar.

What if you didn’t have to “push” your baby out… y What if you didn’t have to “push” your baby out… your body just knew what to do?
That’s the Fetal Ejection Reflex (FER)…It’s one of the most beautiful examples of how birth works when we don’t interfere.
When safety, privacy, and oxytocin take the lead, your body releases a rush of hormones that literally birth your baby.
Birth is not about force… it’s about surrender.

🩷 Have you ever witnessed or experienced the fetal ejection reflex?

Hoping to get pregnant in 2026? Here are the firs Hoping to get pregnant in 2026?

Here are the first three things I would do:
1) assess your nutrition and eat a nutrient dense diet that is rich in minerals.

2) optimize your digestion. If digestion doesn’t functional optimally, a healthy diet won’t matter as much because the body can’t process what it’s taking in. It is also so important for hormone health!!

3) learn how to track your cycle and start tracking now! This will allow you to come off of birth control prior to conceiving and allow your eggs and uterus time to recover from all the synthetic hormones. It will also give you insight into your hormone health and where you need support.

These are just the first three steps in my seven phase protocol to prepare the body for pregnancy.

In my latest episode of the Prepare for Pregnancy Podcast, I sat down with @thissacredmotherhood to talk about physiologic birth, and why understanding it before conception can change everything.

We discuss how birth is an intentionally designed process: a beautiful hormonal dance between a mother and her baby. ✨

When we take time to learn before pregnancy…

💛We enter motherhood confident instead of fearful.
🧠 We understand how our bodies were made to work.
💗 We can make choices rooted in peace.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many women talk about birth as transformative, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible when we stop managing birth, and start trusting the design.
