Meet Courtney
Courtney (she/her) and her husband moved from Wichita, Kansas, almost ten years ago and have made themselves a happy little home in Nashville! In the early years of marriage, Courtney was a nanny for five children, and then moved on to work as a medical assistant at a cardiology office. She stopped working in 2015 to have her first baby, and after struggling with perinatal and postpartum depression, she became passionate about maternal health—mental and physical.
After her own difficult transition into motherhood and becoming aware of the obvious lack of support for new parents, she trained with DONA International as a postpartum doula. Courtney’s goal is to educate and support new parents, filling the gaps and offering comfort so parents can spend time getting to know their new baby. Her empathy and warmth makes her clients feel safe, and she offers unbiased information that empowers parents in their new roles.
When she is not working with families, she is taking care of her children, spending time outside with her family, napping, or reading about the enneagram!
“We can’t say enough good things about our experience with our postpartum doulas, Brayta and Courtney.
Courtney was our daytime doula and was an absolute pleasure. Helpful, kind, cheerful - we truly enjoyed having her help. The majority of our time was spent with our overnight doula, Brayta. She was a godsend—literally the reason I’ve made it through motherhood. This was our first child, and Brayta helped support me through long nights, frustrating nursing sessions, milk spills, all of it. Her patience and kindness were truly a blessing. She not only supported my journey as a mother but also took wonderful care of our baby.
For the East Nashville Doulas overall, I owe a huge thank you to the owner, Andrea. She made scheduling extremely easy, and when I found myself back in the hospital three weeks postpartum, she worked tirelessly to get us some last minute extra help for my husband and baby at home.
Highly recommend East Nashville Doulas! If we have another child, I will definitely be giving them a call.”
“Courtney was a god-send for my husband and me! Having her in my home after our son was born brought so much comfort to me during some of the more difficult moments of postpartum momhood. She was so helpful and sweet! She made me feel like I knew what I was doing , even as a first-time mom. Love her, and would highly recommend her (and have) to many of my friends!”
