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.Posted on Google Tessa GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our doula. From the very beginning, she educated us on every aspect of birth and walked us through all of the unbiased options and decisions we might face. 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. She created such a calm, comfortable environment and was an incredible source of support for both of us. Her presence gave us confidence we didn’t even know we needed, and we genuinely felt cared for every step of the way. We would hire her again for every birth if possible. She is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for her.Posted on Google Psacha LaJoieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Courtney was amazing! She stayed with us for over 24 hours, offering constant support, calm energy, and encouragement through every stage of labor. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt cared for and confident. We’re so grateful she was part of our birth experience! ❤️Posted on Google Jordan HuntTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Courtney was my doula and she was everything I needed her to be! She was always available to answer all of my questions, she provided guidance on what to ask my OB at appointments, and she was a wealth of knowledge and information! I could not have asked for a better person to guide my husband and me through our first pregnancy. We will be asking for Courtney again should we have a second baby!Posted on Google Sarah HongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Google Halli JuversTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Courtney was my doula for my second baby and she was amazing! She was so kind and supportive. I had an unmedicated birth and I could not have done it without her by my side!Posted on Google Abby ChandlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Courtney is such a light to the community, so knowledgeable and kind. Would absolutely recommend as a doula to everyone!
