Well, hello there! I'm Micah...

Your friendly neighborhood McKinney doula! 

I’m a wife, a mom, a birth worker, and a photographer, but beyond all that—I’m someone who believes in the magic of the everyday. The wild, messy, beautiful moments that make up your family’s story? Those are the moments I live to support and capture.
 

My family and I call Princeton, TX, home, which means I get to work with incredible families across Collin County and the greater North Dallas area. I’m also married to a retired Navy sailor, and together we’re raising two wonderfully wild little girls who keep life interesting!
 

When I’m not supporting growing families - either in the birth space or on my yoga mat -  you’ll probably find me reading, crafting, or soaking up the Texas sun—barefoot, of course. Our family loves overlanding in our tricked-out Jeep, camping under the stars, and discovering new adventures. And when we’re home, we’re probably watching Star Wars, trying new restaurants, or playing board games.
 

My path to birth work and prenatal yoga started after having my own daughters. I know firsthand how powerful it is to feel supported, heard, and respected in birth, and I want every family to experience that same confidence. The way we bring our babies into the world shapes so much of our journey as parents, and I’m here to help make that journey one of strength, trust, and lasting memories.

I believe birth is more than a biological event — it’s a deeply transformative experience that shapes who we are in ways big and small. Each time a baby is born, a new version of you is born too. Whether you’re welcoming your first baby or your fifth, every birth is a chance to grow, shed old layers, and step into a new chapter of life.

Birth is beautifully personal — there’s no single “right way” to do it. My goal is to help you trust your own wisdom, lean into what feels true for you, and make choices that feel aligned for your family.

My work as a doula is guided by my yoga training, which reminds me daily that body, mind, and spirit all matter equally in this journey. Yoga teaches us to listen inward — to soften, breathe, and trust ourselves when things get hard. That same trust can guide you through birth. I believe preparing your heart and mind is just as vital as preparing your body.

Whether your intuition nudges you to change positions during labor, rest deeply, or speak up when something doesn’t feel right — my hope is that you’ll feel safe enough to honor that inner voice. This is the heart of what I believe: when we are supported and connected to ourselves, we birth — and parent — with more courage, ease, and grace.

"We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful.

It's that women are strong."
