"Courtney’s gentle presence and support was unwavering throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. Her soft but powerful energy in our birth space at home was so incredibly beautiful, it was so reassuring to know she was there, fully present and intuitive, to tend to my needs. The innate wisdom and knowledge she holds and her presence and gentleness is a gift to all birthing people."

“"I feel so honoured and privileged to have had Courtney's support and nourishment throughout my journey of matrescence. The most transformative time in my life and it was made that much more special with Courtney by our side. I felt supported from the first trimester all the way until our darling boy Fletcher was born. After a tough birthing experience. Her love and support has been unwavering. And Courtney continues to support us through postpartum and beyond. Courtney's offerings of bodywork, nourishing food and drink, reflection and love are just some things I will be forever grateful for."

"When my partner and I fell pregnant and learnt that we could only have one more person in our birthing suite, we both immediately thought of Courtney. She brought a very warm and calming nature into our space which was the energy we desired. From our very first appointment, up until the day I birthed my son, Courtney was wonderful to work with and very supportive and respectful of my choices. She checked in frequently and was with me when I needed her for my week of labour. Without her support and knowledge, I feel like my birth story could have been very different. I am forever grateful for having her in my corner."

"My partner and I are having our first child and have opted to go with a home birth. We were left with so many unanswered questions from our doctor. Courtney put our mind at ease with her calm energy, knowledge, confidence and strength. She helped us understand what our next steps were, our different options, answered all of our questions and gave us many many helpful tips. She linked us with different facilitators/therapists that we can use right through the different stages of our journey as we see fit. She gave us so much more than we asked for and we are extremely grateful and feel blessed to have had this great experience. Thankyou Courtney!"

"My postpartum Abhyanga massage was the most luscious and relaxing massage I’ve had. To have Courtney treat me in the same space she witnessed me give birth at home was truly something special. Her intuitive touch and presence make for an incredible experience."

"Courtney provided support and information that I didn’t even know that I needed. Throughout the pregnancy she provided all sorts of first hand information from her experiences in assisting women on their journey, as well as discussions about theories and questions I posed to her. Above this, she pointed us in the direction of books, podcasts, case studies, and any number of articles to equip my mind as best she could for what was to come. As someone who likes to know everything about whatever situation I’m going into, I cannot overstate the enormity of the help she provided. Further to this, she empowered us to make our own decisions and prepared us for the possible roadblocks the hospital system may pose to us. In her hands we felt safe, guided, and empowered to have the birth we chose. When it came time for the actual labour and birth, Courtney was by our side whenever needed without the feeling that she was “too present”. She remained a calming, guiding light through the experience and only interjected when absolutely necessary. When required she gave suggestions for poses and acupressure (which had already been discussed and printouts given), and was even able to coordinate a session with other practitioners to help us along. I cannot stress enough the important role she played in our birth story, and how much of an impact she had on my knowledge, thoughts, and feelings around the birthing world."

"When we first met Courtney, she was instantly generous with her time and care toward my partner and me. Her knowledge, experience, and compassion toward my partner and me put me at ease right from the beginning of our journey. Courtney played an instrumental role in creating a positive, empowering, calm pregnancy journey for us.
Throughout the pregnancy, Courtney offered constant encouragement and guidance, ensuring my partner remained comfortable and well-prepared for the labour and delivery. She was always available to answer our questions and provide reassurance, significantly alleviating my apprehensions as an expectant father. Additionally, Courtney always made me feel seen throughout our journey; with regular heartfelt check in's, she ensured that I was still part of the experience. I cannot thank her enough for this.
During the labour, Courtney proved to be an unwavering pillar of strength with her calm and reassuring presence. I benefited immensely from her support, as she kept me informed and involved in the processes and offered plenty of support, allowing me some rest.
Beyond the physical support, Courtney was a fantastic emotional support system for both of us. She intuitively knew when to offer gentle words of encouragement and when to provide a listening ear, allowing us to process our feelings and emotions during this transformative moment in our lives.
Courtney's commitment to our family was evident during the labour and the postpartum period. Courtney continued to check in on us, offering a wealth of resources to aid us in navigating early parenthood.
I wholeheartedly recommend Courtney to expectant parents seeking a caring, skilled birthing doula. Her passion for her work and genuine care for families make her an exceptional professional in the birthing community."
