What Local Families Say

★★★★★

“Courtney was a wonderful resource during pregnancy, and I’m so thankful to have had her by my side as I delivered my baby. During pregnancy, she had great tips for preparing for labor not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. I cannot stress enough how much more confident I felt about labor because of her guidance. During delivery, Courtney was a strong advocate for ensuring the hospital staff followed my birth plan. She was also an encouraging presence as I labored, reminding and reassuring me that my body knows what to do and that I was made to do this. She also coached me in trying different breathing techniques and positions as I labored to help make the most way for baby to enter this world. As a result, my delivery was smooth, calm, and peaceful - everything I was hoping and praying for. Aside from pregnancy and L&D, Courtney was highly knowledgeable and had great advice for transferring care to an OB most aligned with my desired birth plan, navigating a GBS positive test result, treating a postpartum hemorrhage, finding a pediatrician, and preparing for breastfeeding. My husband and I felt equipped with the best information to make choices that were right for us. Courtney was also such a warm presence. We never felt rushed; she sincerely took her time to make sure all of our questions were answered and alleviated our fears and concerns as first time parents. Her warm demeanor, willingness to listen, and drive to go above and beyond made all the difference in our experience. Her services truly are the best gift you could give yourself if you’re in the need for support in your pregnancy!”

“Highly recommend hiring Courtney as your doula. Our doula we initially hired had an emergency so we ended up having Courtney as our backup doula and she did not disappoint! 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 and things we discussed with our doula prior to going into labor. Courtney was very encouraging, supportive and really helped my husband and I during such an intense and vulnerable experience. Thank you Courtney for what you do! It’s very clear that she loves what she does and it translates into working with her clients.”
