If you never thought about a doula or really don’t know what it is, do it. It’s the best support and understanding you will have! Courtney was the BEST! We didn’t have the exact everything o as we thought or planned for but with all the extras she was the best thing we could have asked for to have within our journey of our arrival! Before drying and after she has been our unconditional support in person through calls and even texts!!! Don’t deny yourself the right to have the doula! Do it and I suggest her a million times over to anyone. We will be using her again for our next child!!

As a first time mom, I couldn’t have asked for a better birth experience thanks to Courtney. Her confident, calm, and compassionate demeanor instantly made me feel at ease. More importantly, Courtney gave me the freedom to be myself and honored my birth plan with dignity. Her extensive knowledge about the mental, physical, and emotional toll of labor provided me with clarity and validation. Courtney is simply the best!

Courtney is calm, caring, compassionate, and dependable. Having her with us for the birth of our second baby helped make my birth experience something I look back on with pride, appreciation, and empowerment. From the moment she arrived at our house, to the moment she left the hospital, her calm and confident presence brought me relief and comfort. She was supportive of both me and my partner, while encouraging me to intuitively lean into birth. Knowing Courtney was there made it easier for me to keep myself calm during labor. She helped keep me comfortable, gave me reminders, and answered my questions with soft, yet reassuring, eye contact. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula to support me during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Courtney is the most amazing doula. She is patient, calm, kind, and SO helpful! My husband and I immediately felt at ease and comfortable with her. She made the preparation for birth and the actual birth process a smooth and beautiful experience. We used her postpartum services as well and she was a lifesaver during the recovery period and transition into parenthood. She is truly a gem!

Courtney has the life, professional experience and heart that makes her ideal for providing doula services. She is the salt of the earth, meet you were you are at advocate that will support you and your family on the unpredictable experience of adding a family member. Individuals that find themselves in birth work are angels amongst us and Courtney fits that description. Her support and guidance has been reassuring and appreciated and we were so lucky to have her help with the arrival of our daughter.
