Why families choose us

Calm, Informed and Fully Supported

You'll know what's coming

Whether you're planning a hospital, birth center or home birth, we walk you through the decisions you may face, like induction, pain relief and interventions, before labor starts.

Backup coverage, guaranteed

Every family is guaranteed backup doula coverage. If your doula can't be there, another Nurture & Nest doula or a doula from our trusted partner network steps in.

Your partner gets support too

We show partners how to help with comfort and decisions, so you face labor as a team.

Care that doesn't end at birth

The same team can support your recovery at home, help with feeding and cover nights so you can rest.

Real support, real families

What Families Say

★★★★★

“Because of her guidance, my husband felt informed, confident, and fully involved in the process—and that made all the difference when he needed to make several last-minute decisions while I couldn’t.”

Tessa Green · Google review
★★★★★

“We were a little nervous having a backup doula and somebody we’ve never met but Courtney was so personable, very easy going and very much was prepared for our birth plan.”

How it works

Getting Started Is Simple

  1. Book a free consult. Tell us your due date, where you plan to give birth and what support you're looking for.
  2. Meet your doula. We match you with a doula in your area. Meet first and make sure it feels right.
  3. Prepare together. Prenatal visits, birth preferences, comfort techniques, and text support whenever questions come up.
  4. Birth and beyond. Continuous support in labor, help with the first feeding, and a postpartum visit to check on you.

Our story

Built From Our Founder's Own Family Story

Courtney's experience as a NICU mom, and years as a military family living far from relatives, showed her and her husband how isolating the newborn season can be without support close by. Those experiences shaped Nurture & Nest: a team that shows up for families the way a village would.
