Bump and Beyond
About
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
My name is Courtney, and I would be honoured to support you as your birth and postpartum doula.
I believe pregnancy and birth are natural life events, and that every woman already holds the strength needed to birth in her own power. My role is to provide emotional, physical, and educational support to ensure you feel informed, held, and safe every step of the way. Together, we will prepare so you feel educated, confident, and connected to yourself as you approach labour, enabling you to make empowered choices that are right for you. I will also support your birth partner, helping them feel prepared and confident so they can be fully present with you during this sacred time.
My hope is that you and your birth partner walk away from your experience feeling positive, empowered, and deeply supported—no matter how or where you choose to birth.
In the fourth trimester, I will continue to be by your side as you transition into life as a new family. I will “mother the mother,” offering guidance, nourishment, and nurturing care so you can embrace a gentle and intentional postpartum period.
If you’d like to learn more, I would love to connect and explore whether I am the right fit to support you and your family through this incredible journey.

Reviews
I was so anxious about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood that I hired Courtney before I even found a midwife—and it was the best decision I could have made for myself, my partner, and our baby. We did the full support package with Courtney, meaning we worked together for over 10 months, and I can’t imagine going through this journey without her.
Courtney has a calm, non-judgemental presence that immediately puts you at ease—she is someone you can be completely vulnerable with. After our antenatal appointments, I went from wanting an elective C-section (possibly under general anaesthesia) to confidently having a completely un-medicated, physiological birth in the hospital. Courtney helped me discover my mother’s intuition, shifting my mindset from fear-based decision-making to one of confidence and strength.
I truly cannot say enough good things about Courtney. She is intelligent, quietly confident yet commanding, down-to-earth, and genuinely warm and kind. The experience we shared together goes far beyond what could ever be captured in a Google review. If you're considering hiring a doula, I cannot recommend Courtney enough—she is an absolute gift.
I had the pleasure of connecting with Courtney to discuss my fears around birthing my second baby. She spent 2 hours with me listening to my first birth experience and helping me unpack my limiting beliefs and fears the second time around. She arrived at my home with a coffee, bath salts, a resource/information pack, a positive birth book, and a warm personality that made it feel like we’d been friends forever. I felt more mentally prepared after her visit and I used her info booklet many times before and after birth.
I’m so thankful for Courtney’s listening ear, professional and sound advice, and the additional treats! 100/10 recommend her for any antenatal, birth or postpartum needs.
If you’re looking for informed, educated, experienced, empowering and empathetic pregnancy, birth and postpartum support then Courtney is your gal!
Courtney helped my husband and I prepare for the birth of our first child, she was present during my labour and through out the entire birth and then looked after our family in the immediate weeks after. Courtney taught us so much, we felt completely prepared for the road ahead and she worked really well with our midwife to ensure they were on the same page. No question was too small or too silly.
Courtney is a wealth of knowledge with a nursing background and is such a warm personality. We instantly felt comfortable around her and really felt like she was on our team.
I cannot stress enough how amazing our whole experience was!
