The doula behind selah
About Me
My name is Caitlin McKenzie. I'm a christian birth doula supporting families in Clovis, NM. I love Jesus, I'm a wife, veteran, student, and mother to my own four children.
After my third hospital birth, I made a new birthing plan that would allow my body to deliver in a stress-free environment with all the decisions in my hand. With my incredible support team, I was blessed to have an unplanned, unmedicated delivery of our fourth child in the comfort of a birthing center. It wouldn’t have been possible without my own doula or my support team. I’m diligent about honoring each birth with love and compassion. It's healing to help cultivate a safe space for labor, and an environment mothers feel empowered to birth in.

Birth Planning Support
Birth Planning Support
$50.00/hr
I want to make sure that every family feels confident during labor, and through to delivery. We will develop a birth plan that gives you confidence wherever you may be choosing to birth. I will give Evidence Based Research to help make educated and informed decisions. Primary support person(s) will exceptionally benefit from birth planning. They will gain the knowledge to know:
- What does the birthing moms ideal birth plan look like and how to advocate for her birth.
- Pain management options.
- After delivery care options.
- Collaboratively working with other support persons during birth.
- Helpful birth tools that are offered at the hospital or birthing center, and how you can use them during labor & delivery.
I'm able to help bring confidence for support persons to ensure higher birth satisfaction, and knowledgable hands-on support. Birth planning is based off of an hourly rate, not to exceed 3 hours.
