Meet Doula Courtney Winkle!

Here we grow again!

After living in Owensboro her whole life and working as a doula there since 2022, Courtney reached out to us when she recently moved even closer to Evansville. I was instantly charmed when we met for coffee, and that was definitely partly because she’s from south of the Ohio River , but also because she’s an incredibly genuine person who tells it like it is. Courtney has a great head on her shoulders and a low B.S. threshold, which of course endeared her to me too. I’m so excited to be able to welcome her as the newest team member here at Doula Group of Evansville!

About Courtney

Courtney is a photographer, birth doula, and mom to two toddlers. She has been a doula for over two years, and is now working on her DONA certification. She has lived in Owensboro, KY nearly her whole life and has recently moved just outside the Evansville area. After the birth of her first child, Courtney truly realized how important birth support truly is. Courtney’s mission as a doula is to ensure that all of her clients feel informed, nurtured and safe throughout their birthing journey

In Her Own Words:

Why did you want to become a birth doula? After having my first child, I struggled deeply with postpartum depression due to lack of support. I quickly realized that I was not the only one. After lots of healing and inner work, I became a certified doula so I could be that support for the birthing people in my
community.


What do you love about living in Evansville? I love having so many activities for my kids to do! We spend a lot of time at the local museums, parks and zoo!


Where can we find you on a regular Saturday? Having family time outdoors!
