Hi there, I’m Alicia!

–proud mom of four wonderful kids (affectionately called the "Burklings" – Lia, Clara, Teddy, and Vivien). After dedicating a decade to being a full-time mom, I felt ready to invest more in myself and my community.

My love for yoga and passion for helping others led me to complete yoga teacher training in 2021, which opened the door to certifications in prenatal, children’s, and trauma-informed yoga.

During my prenatal training, I discovered the world of doula support—and I was instantly hooked. I’m thrilled to have completed my birth doula training and am working toward DONA certification. I am also seeking certification in Somatic Healing.

Having experienced childbirth in various ways, I’ve come to appreciate not only the beauty of the process, but also the myriad of decisions and challenges that come with it.

My goal is to ensure that every woman knows her options, feels empowered during labor, and has the support she needs to make her birth experience uniquely hers. Whether you envision an epidural, a fully natural birth, or something in between, I’m here to guide and support you through it.

I truly believe that childbirth can be both empowering and joyful, and it’s an incredible honor to support families on this life-changing journey.

In a few words, I’m a free spirit with a touch of quirk.

Compassionate, a good listener, and someone who stands up for what’s right, I value authenticity, connection, and creativity. I’m an Enneagram 4 (yep, I'm obsessed!)—the romantic, independent type.

When I'm not working, you’ll find me enjoying a good book, puzzling, collecting plants, traveling, dancing, or catching a nap.

I love spending time with my family, snuggling our kittens, and cheering on the Burklings as they pursue their passions. My husband, Johnne, and I also love going to concerts, hunting for antiques, and enjoying good Mexican food.

I’m committed to lifelong learning and self-improvement, with a current focus on somatic healing, polyvagal theory, learning Spanish, and, of course, everything childbirth-related!

Let’s get coffee!

Hi I’m Courtney, a mom of two and passionate doula who is dedicated to supporting families through their birthing journey. As a mother, I’ve experienced the beauty, challenges, and transformation that comes with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. I know how important it is to have a supportive and compassionate presence during this time and it’s my privilege to offer that support to you. 

I believe that every birthing experience is unique and my goal is to provide personalized care that honors your needs, desires, and birth plan. Whether you’re looking for emotional support, comfort measures, or guidance through the process, I’m here to empower you with the knowledge and confidence you deserve as you welcome your little one into the world. 

I’m honored to be apart of such an intimate and transformative experience and I am here to offer warmth, encouragement, and a listening ear throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Let’s work together to create the peaceful and supportive birth experience you envision. 

Make it stand out.

With every newborn baby, a little sun rises. It's a new beginning, a fresh start, a chance to make the world a better place
