Hi, I’m Macey, and it is such an honor to soon meet you. 

My journey into doula work began after experiencing the kind of support I deeply needed during my own pregnancies. Back in 2020, during the height of COVID, I didn’t even know what a doula was — I just knew I desperately needed someone steady, informed, and compassionate beside me.

When I became pregnant with my second child, I hired a doula, and it changed my life. The experience softened parts of my heart that had been carrying fear and disappointment from before and opened me up to a completely different way of experiencing pregnancy and birth — one rooted in intention, trust, evidence-based care, and genuine empathy. And while my birth did not unfold exactly how I had planned (because birth loves to keep us humble), it became one of the most empowering experiences of my life. That experience shaped the heart behind Polaris Birth Services. 

Now, I am a DONA-trained birth doula in Florence, Alabama, and it is my life’s mission to support families during some of the most vulnerable, sacred, and transformative moments they will ever walk through. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel protected, informed, respected, and deeply supported as they step into parenthood.

Outside of birth work, I’m a mother to two beautiful children, a wife to an incredible husband, a singer, and someone who fully believes in “just taking a crack at it.” To name a few things: cooking, baking, gardening, canning, reading, teaching, web design, interior design, furniture-flipping, candle-making, poetry, songwriting, and finding beauty in ordinary things - whew! At the heart of everything I do is a deep love for creating meaningful, intentional experiences — and that absolutely includes helping families feel empowered as they bring their babies into the world.
