With a full and grateful heart, I’m beyond excited to share that Nurture + Nest Collective now has a studio and office to call home!

What started as a dream — offering wholehearted support to families through doula care, newborn guidance, and love-filled community — has grown into something more beautiful than I ever imagined. And now, we have a warm and welcoming space to gather, connect, and create lasting memories.

This studio isn’t just a physical space. It’s a reflection of every family I’ve served, every baby I’ve snuggled, every postpartum tear and triumph witnessed. It’s a place where parents are seen, babies are honored, and love is at the center of it all. A place where dreams are dreamt, visions are created, birth and postpartum are prepped, where stories are captured, milestones are celebrated, and families are honored in every season.

To my incredible clients: thank you for letting me into the most sacred seasons of your lives. Your vulnerability, strength, and stories are the heartbeat of this space. And to this beautiful community that continues to grow — your support, referrals, and kind words have carried me here. I wouldn’t be here without the people who’ve trusted me, encouraged me, and cheered me on.

We’ll be hosting doula consults, birth prep education classes, newborn and toddlerhood photography and quiet space for rest and reset — all with the same care and intention that’s always been at the heart of Nurture + Nest.

I can’t wait to welcome you in.

With love and gratitude,
Courtney Gillaspia

This sweet mom came to me for newborn pictures today, after we had talked prenatally a few times about doula stuff.

After baby was born she had an IBCLC home visit, without much breastfeeding improvement following. Today I was able to chat with her about her birth experience, her mental health, help choosing a better bottle for her baby’s anatomy, refer her to chiropractoric care and pediatric dentistry for lip/tongue tie revision, tips with swaddling and other baby products.

But most of all she felt safe enough to ask for breastfeeding help and allow me to show her what a good latch looks like, feels like, understand the checklist of things she’s looking for with each latch to grow her confidence and continue a successful breastfeeding relationship with her baby.

I will always invest myself emotionally, physically, educationally — and bond with you in any way that you allow me to fit in your journey.

I’m so lucky. A days work well done. 💙

When you get the dreamiest, sleepiest baby you just gotta plaaaayyy! He was so sweet and squishy too!

Don't forget even though I am a full time doula, I have found a love for giving families exactly what I didn't have through my journey. These dreamy photos and sessions are forever, don't skip out on them! It's so fleeting 🥹

Y’all know what time it is! 🎉🎉

$99 SESSIONS!

As a reminder, I do this sale a few times a year because I didn’t get newborn photos of Kallie as I was scared of the financial commitment during my maternity leave being self employed and now as a single mama. I want you to have these precious memories!

I’ve been working hard over here, trying to grow & perfect my passions while still supporting families and creating a wholesome experience for this season of your life. I still accept all sitter, toddler, motherhood, breastfeeding & family sessions and are applicable for this as well 🩷

— sale sessions include 5 photos with the option of full gallery, you will still receive a full session experience and can purchase your photos at a later date if needed 🥰

Throwback to the time I was on TLC’s TV show Extreme Sisters 👯‍♀️ (2021)

It clearly wasn’t a very flattering view of me, but tons of fun and worth it.

In this moment I was talking about how to ease baby through the perineum by patience and allowing baby to stretch through without pushing so hard that you create a tear internally and/or externally.

Did you watch it? Did you see the look on my face when she brought out the 4 year old placenta that she keeps on her dining table? 😅 my face says it all lol none of this was scripted and I went in completely blind!

Tell me what you think about it!

Hello! My name is Courtney & I am a birth & postpartum doula. I aspire to educate, empower and celebrate your birth with you. I am thankful to be able to do this work and serve the growing families that come my way.

I have extensively trained on all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum, placentas and lactation with HERBAL, my certifying doula organization. I have also enjoyed teaching childbirth education classes (private & group) to help others better understand the language and be prepared for all possible scenarios.

My clients receive the care, compassion and education they desire for their pregnancy, birth of their sweet baby and even postpartum! I am ready to lock arms with you and help you navigate your options & fulfill your goals while growing your precious family.

I am currently serving all of Central and N/NE Oklahoma. I happily travel to other surrounding areas, as well! (This covers a wide range from Norman to Enid, to Tulsa.)
