Hi! I’m Courtney Goddard—doula, childbirth educator, Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner and the woman behind The Birth Fairy Doula. After becoming a mum myself (and surviving everything from birth trauma to the wild ride of postpartum), I discovered a huge passion for helping other families feel informed, supported, and actually excited about birth.

Over the years, I’ve worked with countless parents through pregnancy, birth, and beyond, offering tools, education, and genuine support with a healthy dose of humour and honesty. Alongside teaching the Positive Birth Program, I also run birth pool hire, workshops, and online resources designed to make birth preparation feel less intimidating and a whole lot more empowering.

My style is relaxed, real, and evidence-based. I believe birth works best when women feel safe, respected, and totally in tune with their bodies—and I love teaching practical techniques that help reduce fear and boost confidence. Through the Positive Birth Program, I help parents build strong mindsets, understand their options, and feel prepared for a birth that’s positive no matter how it unfolds.

I’m passionate about supporting families, advocating for respectful maternity care, and helping parents step into birth feeling calm, capable, and beautifully empowered.
