I am a former firefighter and paramedic working as a postpartum doula. I bring my previous training to my work with families, offering knowledge on CPR, first aid, and car seat safety as a certified CPST (Child Passenger Safety Tech). In addition to my doula training, I have also been educated on postpartum nutrition and I am currently working toward my certification in sleep education.

Post a testimonial for Kourtney Vanasse
4/27/2026
There truly aren’t words to capture how much Kourtney meant to our family during our twins early days. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, from checking in while our twins were still in the NICU, to seamlessly stepping in to support us at home once they were discharged. She was always available for questions, meeting everything we asked with zero judgment and so much empathy. Kourtney supported us in ways both big and small, helping to ensure I was adequately nourished and hydrated, and stepping in on the household front so we could simply sit and soak in those precious newborn cuddles. During some of our most stressful moments, she brought a calm, steady presence and offered gentle, reassuring guidance (including knowing when it was time to call the pediatrician). She was the first person we trusted with our babies outside of family, which says everything. We are endlessly grateful for her care, compassion, and wisdom. Saying goodbye will be one of the hardest parts of this chapter. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone lucky enough to work with her.

Kourtney was an incredible resource for our family's post-partum experience! She cared for our family like we were her own. She was reliable, communicative, knowledgeable, organized and caring. She did everything we needed including help with laundry and tidying to of course taking care of our newborn so we could get much needed sleep. She gave great feedback and advice and would direct me to a licensed medical professional when something was outside her knowledge or she wasn't completely sure. She did small things like remind me to take medicine and recommend/discuss things to consider when selecting double strollers! We would utilize her again in a heartbeat.

We used Kourtney as our overnight doula after my first baby was born in 2024. We worked with her for 3 or 4 month. She was able to see things we didn't see. As new parents, we weren't getting much sleep so having her come in a couple nights a week really helped. She saw that we needed different nipples/ bottles since our daugther was working too hard, She was falling asleep in the middle of a bottle. Then she helped us move our daugther to night hours being night. She gave us resources that we won't have gotten with out her.
I would hire Kourtney in a heartbeat again. She was amazing and we definitely don't regret hiring her.

When I think of a doula, I think “above and beyond” and that is exactly what Kourtney is. She is incredibly helpful, proactive, confident, and knows how to read the room and be exactly what you need her to be in that moment. There are two sacred places I would welcome her again and again, one is my home, and the other is my postpartum “nest.” I trust her immensely and don’t know what I would have done without her help.
