I had the great fortune of having Kourtney care for me as my postpartum doula. As first time parents, my partner and I debated a long while when hiring a doula. Kourtney put us at ease, met us, worked with our ambiguity--and we feel so much more confident than we would have otherwise.

She has been a caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable resource. We've been doing nights and my baby seems to sleep the best when she's here for the night. She worked with me on my needs as I recovered with some complications following birth. I'm really, really grateful to have Kourtney as a doula in this unique experience of early days of care for a newborn. I will happily recommend her to friends and colleagues in the area looking for postpartum support.

Kourtney was absolutely instrumental during my postpartum period. She came to my home and provided invaluable assistance with my daughter, including feeding her, making ice pack pads, doing laundry, and tidying up while I rested. I didn't realize how much I needed her until she arrived—thank God she came into my life. Kourtney is patient and an excellent communicator. It was incredibly comforting to have her alongside me on this journey. You won't regret hiring her!
