Courtney Durfee Doula Profile

So glad that we hired Courtney for our placenta encapsulation.  She turned it around quickly and her knowledge was helpful.  I also think that the pills have helped me feel balanced and energized during this postpartum stage.

I remember thinking how it must feel awkward to be in a stranger's home, not knowing where things were etc. but I was most impressed with how confident and assured Courtney was when in the home. She exuded a sense of belonging in a very pleasant way, as if she was an old friend returning for a visit after a long absence. She casually aquainted herself in a non-intrusive way and blended into the flow of things.

Courtney is wonderful to talk to.  She stayed a step ahead of everything from walking our daughter across the street and helping her out to heating up a meal for us during follow up.

I enjoyed her open-mindedness and appreciation for learning new things.  She had shared a sense of awe at our midwives and their explaination of things; it is not often that one finds someone so willing to grow and continue learning the whys and hows. So, she does things with a deep understading of why its being done, she doesn't just do it  "because."

Courtney's knowledge was very helpful and soothing--all sorts of information-- from comfort measures, to resources in the community. And if she wasn't sure of something--she found out and researched it.

I asked my husband what he thought and his thoughts are blended in here as well, he felt very comfortable with her. He felt comfortable speaking with her, and sharing the responsiblity of helping me. He felt confident in her skills and abilities. She even helped take pictures during the birth!

Gotta make sure you discover her favorite foods--she didn't eat much here!

Both my husband and I highly recommend Courtney and would definately use her again. As a matter of fact, since we are both local, we keep in touch with her and occasionally get together.
