About me

Before Cortney ever held a laboring mother's hand as a doula, she was already being prepared for this work. As a Patient Care Technician at East Tennessee Children's Hospital and Saint Francis Hospital — and as a Medical Assistant — she spent years witnessing the moments that medicine alone cannot fully tend to: the quiet fear in a mother's eyes before delivery, the overwhelm that settles in the hours after birth, and the deep, unspoken longing for someone to simply stay. It was in those hallways that Cortney felt a clear and unmistakable calling — not just to care for bodies, but to hold hearts. To step into the sacred space of birth as someone who bridges the clinical and the compassionate. Rooted Grace Birth Co. was born from that calling. She believes deeply that birth is one of life's most powerful and holy experiences — and that every mother deserves to move through it feeling known, prepared, and held. Cortney brings her healthcare background, her DONA training, and her faith to every family she serves — walking alongside you not as an authority, but as a steady, informed, and deeply caring presence. She is honored to serve families across Knoxville, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Farragut, Sevierville, Lenoir City, and the broader East Tennessee region.
