Makenzie hanson (she/her); BADT Trained Postpartum Doula

Makenzie is a postpartum doula and mother. She has over 10 years of childcare and educator experience and is so excited to continue her journey here at Austin Doula Care.
When she isn’t working, she’s hanging out with her goofy and energetic toddler, reading and writing, catching up on silly tv shows, and getting outside for some much needed fresh air.
She is incredibly passionate about pregnancy and postpartum mental and physical health in marginalized communities. Being a black woman in the LGBTQ+ community has opened her eyes to the nuances and delicate situations in healthcare and she is prepared to be a companion and advocate for you and walk alongside you in your journey.
Through her own pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, she realized just how valuable your village is however that may look. This time is so special and everyone deserves to have the postpartum journey they want and need. She aims to come into every role with knowledge, support, refuge, and so much care.
