About Luna Wellness Yoga & Doula Services

My Story

Hello! My name is Courtney Stradling. I am the sole owner of Luna Wellness. I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have one little boy. In my free time, you can find me reading and spending time with my family. I love to learn, so I am always working towards a new certification or taking a new class.

My Why

After dealing with various chronic illnesses followed by a difficult birth and postpartum experience I realized the quality of care for women was severely lacking. We are given medications to mask our symptoms and then told how we are feeling is "normal". During pregnancy, we are treated like we are sick instead of trusting the female body to do what it was designed to. After the birth women are told it's okay to be depressed and have mood swings. These things may be common but they are not normal.

I created Luna Wellness to help improve the quality of care that women receive. I help teach women how to advocate for themselves, navigate the healthcare system, learn about their bodies, and how God designed them. Our bodies are amazing. And when we are given the right tools and environment we can thrive the way God intended.

My Experience

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to motherhood. We all have our journeys and stories to tell. I have nursed, formula-fed, and exclusively pumped all with the same child. I have overcome postpartum depression, PTSD, and injuries from birth. Motherhood is difficult and messy. I get it because I've been there and am here to offer you judgment-free and evidenced-based support.

I love learning and am always taking new classes and adding new services! I am proud to be a Birth With Spirit-trained Postpartum Doula and a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC)

Before I started Luna Wellness, I worked in education for ten years. I spent five of those years working with infants. Babies are the best teachers!
