Meet Kenzie: a certified lactation counselor, birth doula, and the heart behind Gingerly Mama, LLC.

She is passionate about supporting women and growing families through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood. Kenzie founded Gingerly Mama to offer care that is personalized, empowering, and rooted in both evidence and empathy.

Whether you’re planning for birth, navigating breastfeeding, or adjusting to life with a new baby, Kenzie is dedicated to walking alongside you with education, emotional support, and practical guidance. Her goal is to help families focus on what matters most—while staying healthy, supported, and (hopefully) a little more sane along the way.

You don’t have to do this alone.
