Testimonials
I and my husband considered ourselves very lucky to have had Courtney Ann Giesbrecht as our doula! You will not regret it! – Laura
We hired Courtney less than 48 hours before going into labour – and it was the best decision ever! I was so determined to have a VBAC, and as my due date came and went I was freaking out a bit (okay, a lot) about the possibility of needing another c-section. Courtney rushed over to our place to meet us the same day we contacted her, and as soon as she left I instantly felt so much better – way calmer and more prepared. She had so many tips for me on ways to go into labour and also for pain-management during labour. It really helped put my mind at ease having her by my side. In the end I was able to have my VBAC and I’m not sure I could have done it without Courtney. I can’t recommend her enough! – Kaitlyn
