Courtney was amazing when it came to helping me prepare for the births of my two daughters. She gave lots of amazing advice for postpartum as well. I could go on and on. Some days were harder than others I was ready to just quit. She gave me a lot of hope especially in postpartum.

“Courtney-Ke joined our family in 2018 after the birth of my second son and I don’t know what I would have done without her! She is calm, kind and intentional in her work. She took care of our newborn and three year old, cooked, cleaned and did whatever else needed to be done to support our family. Her presence, laughter and care was phenomenal. She is perceptive and has a unique blend of experience and training in childcare and postpartum needs. I would highly recommend Courtney-Ke for any and all in home postpartum care!"
