I began my doula journey in 2021 and currently have a partnership with a hospital in Torrance, CA. I am still working towards my labor doula certification with CAPPA and plan on submitting all required paperwork by fall 2024. Considering that I am still working on my certification I am still working on building the additional skills I would be able to offer, for now I will be focusing on emotional/educational support regarding what is happening to your body and movements/positions that may provide moments of relief in between contractions. I feel it is important to note that in no way am I coming in to fill the role of a supportive partner but rather someone who can give pointers and be a source of support for both soon to be parents. Another talent that I feel comfortable offering would be to take pictures of the birth or just after, considering I used to be a PhotoPass Photographer at Disneyland.

I have always loved babies and over the years of working with kids at schools and at Disneyland it became more and more evident to me that I prefer them to be as close to the womb as possible! They are just so cute, precious, and have so so so many new things happening for them and in them over these first few months being in the womb and then just after delivery as well. I love to be a source of support and provide more education to those that are open and willing to learn and talk more about the amazing things that happen during childbirth. As of right now I am only able to be of support as a labor doula or for any photography needs.
Courtney was supportive and a great advocate throughout pregnancy and labor/delivery. She’s passionate about her work and commitment to mom and baby.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Courtneys help and support during my birthing journey. I did not have the birth that I planned, and having Courtney there helping me go through each step was a blessing. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but her empathy, support, and reliability were invaluable. I will be requesting her support for all future pregnancies. She is the best.
