The births of her own two daughters (one in Pennsylvania and the other in Vermont) and the continued journey of parenthood inspired her to enter the world of birth workers. She began by leading La Leche League meetings and supporting mothers as they breastfed their babies and toddlers. In 2013, she completed training as a placenta encapsulation specialist with Placenta Benefits.info. Following her training has a labor and postpartum doula, she began attending births in 2015. Foundational to her work with birthing families is her spirit of calm, non-judgmental support and belief in the transformative nature of birth and the postpartum journey. For Courtney, she sees too many families go through this powerful transition without the full support they need to thrive. She believes now is the time to create a culture of nourishment, sacredness, and care surrounding birth and babies. Courtney lives with her husband, two daughters, cats, and ducks on their family homestead in midcoast Maine.
