Bump and Beyond

About

Hello and welcome, I'm Courtney.

I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula providing support and education throughout pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, from Bump and Beyond.

I am a Mum of two busy boys aged 3 and 6, and have been a registered nurse for the last 10.5 years. I have always had a passion and interest in pregnancy and birth, and after having children of my own, I realised the importance of being supported, nurtured and nourished during this transformative period of our lives, and I would love to provide this service to families.

I believe pregnancy and birth is a normal life event, and strongly feel that women already have all the strength they need to birth in their power, but it is important you feel supported and safe doing so. One of my favourite affirmations is “I trust my body and my baby,” and as your Doula I have full faith that your body and baby will work together beautifully to bring your little one earth side. My goal is for all those giving birth, and their birth partner, to walk away feeling positive, empowered, and supported throughout their experience, no matter how or where you choose to birth.

In the fourth trimester I will be there as you find your feet as a new family, providing hands on support and nourishment. I will "mother the mother", so she can enjoy a slow, intentional postpartum period resting and recovering from birth, while bonding with baby.

If you would like to talk further, I would love to hear from you.
