About me

We believe that birth is YOUR story and should be done your way. We try our best to support our clients wishes during births and follow directions for post Partum care as well. We think it’s important not to push clients to do things but allow them to choose their own paths. We love what we do and love educating our clients so that they’re able to make the best decisions for themselves and feel well informed when doing so… We are a team/partnership of two doulas and a registered nurse to cover all things birth, postpartum and beyond!

Kourtney was our son’s night doula for 8 weeks. We interviewed several doula’s before landing on her. From our very first conversation Kourtney’s professionalism, knowledge, and kindness stood out well above the others. From discussing her schedule, rates, and philosophy of care, she was clearly very experienced and willing to educate us as first time parents. She was also willing to work with our schedule and needs to make her services work for both of us. Working with Kourtney was nothing short of amazing. She was always on time or early for every shift, she came prepared to learn about our sons day and what to expect out of the night. We were always able to discuss any concerns we have and she gave great advice to help us manage him when she was not there. She helped us trouble shoot the many challenges we had navigating our son’s first few weeks of life. Offering advice on how to treat his ailments, products to support his care, and when to consult our pediatrician. Our son was a NICU baby and we were extremely concerned for his early development and couldn’t have found a better provider to be a part of our village. Every night we were able to rest peacefully knowing our son was in great care. Kourtney took great notes and let us know how he did every night and gave us suggestions to have a good day and better nights when she wasn’t coming in. Overall, Kourtney was the best doula we could have asked for and we loved working with her. We highly recommend her as a caregiver.

We had Kourtney as our postpartum doula for about 2 months after the birth of our daughter. She helped us with all the newborn related things and provided basic CPR training. Also helped us in dealing with reflux issues, sleep related problems. She is very punctual, communicative, and flexible with her schedule. Highly recommend hiring her for any postpartum needs!

Kourtney was great! She was our night doula for several weeks after our daughter was born. She was flexible with her schedule, which was extra important since we started two weeks after our expected due date. Kourtney arrived right on time each night and kept track of everything (feeds/diapers/sleep) happening throughout the night so I could pick up where she left off in the morning. Even when our daughter was gassy, fussy, and/or crying overnight, we hardly even noticed because Kourtney took such good care of her and soothed her back to sleep when she was upset.

I was so nervous about giving birth. I had every confidence in my team at the hospital but I still knew it would be a great comfort to me to have someone there who knew the ropes. Kourtney was the perfect choice. I had a difficult labor and I was so much calmer because she was there, talking me through everything and making sure I understood what was going on. She's as hands-on as you want - she was at my side during the many hours of pushing that I did. She's also full of great info about breastfeeding and diet. I could go on and on about her.
