Courtney Reynaud

Certified Birth Bereavement Doula

Courtney is a wife and mother of three beautiful babies here on Earth and one angel baby in Heaven. In April 2017 her life was forever changed when she went in for a routine ultrasound at 21 weeks and was told that her baby no longer had a heartbeat. She gave birth to her precious baby boy, Satcher, and then did something no mother should ever have to, bury her child. But her story does not end in defeat. Shortly after Satcher’s death, she courageously shared her story online in a video blog, and the reaction she received from fellow loss moms sparked a newfound passion in her, to help others grieving the loss of a child. She strives to give others hope and let them know that there is life after the death of a child. She credits her strength to her faith in God and knows that he has led her to become a birth and bereavement doula so that she may have the platform and the means to help others facing the same heartbreak and devastation that she has faced..
