Courtney Jones

Courtney Jones is the owner and founder of North Texas Doulas, driven by her passion for supporting women during one of the most pivotal experiences of their lives: childbirth. Since founding the organization, Courtney has recognized the essential need for doula care and advocacy in labor and deliveries, a vision that took shape during the unique challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. As a certified Birth & Labor Doula, Childbirth Educator, Certified Placenta Encapsulator and Certified Lactation Consultant, she brings years of experience and a commitment to ensuring that each woman is matched with the perfect doula for her needs. Outside of her professional life, Courtney enjoys the simple pleasure of baking bread, though she humorously admits to accidentally killing her sourdough starter once a month. The joy of caring for her three children remains a highlight of her life, balancing the demands of motherhood with her professional dedication to empowering families through their childbearing journeys.
