Newborn Care Specialist | Infant & Toddler Sleep Consultant | Parent Coach
Courtney Marie Long is a certified newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and sleep consultant. Originally from Cincinnati, OH Courtney relocated to Washington, D.C. in 2007 to attend Howard University. After her oldest son was born she felt called to support other families during the critical newborn period. She trained as a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist, transitioning away from full-time nanny work to supporting families as they navigated the fourth trimester. With over 15 years of professional experience, Courtney brings a level of professionalism and care apparent in all she does. Courtney believes we should actively work against the trend of parent shaming and guilt by instilling confidence in parents so they can make the parenting choices that feel right for them. Courtney is passionate about safety and evidence-based practices.
Courtney lives in Baltimore County with her husband and three children. She enjoys connecting with other parents, family walks, bike rides, and of course, coffee.
Courtney’s approach to sleep support will empower you to reach your current sleep goals and arm you with the confidence to support your baby as their sleep needs change throughout their development. There is no magical fix to sleep issues and any method that guarantees you’ll never face challenges again is not realistic. Your baby’s needs are going to change as they age, as they reach new milestones, and whenever they’re ill or teething. One thing remains the same-- they look to you for support and consistency. With Courtney’s guidance and support you will know how to approach new challenges without overwhelm and anxiety.
Bringing home a new baby is a beautiful and exciting time. It’s also full of questions and changes. Having Courtney in your back pocket to support your parenting journey will give you the confidence you need to face every challenge. Courtney will meet you where you are providing evidence-based guidance, practical advice, and most importantly a sense of calm.
