What Parents Are Saying About Their Experience with Cortney
Kelly - Indianapolis, IN
"We followed her recommendations and worked out a schedule that worked for both my husband and me, and our babies began sleeping blissfully through the night at 6 weeks! I truly believe Cortney gave us the tools we needed to really enjoy our girls, and genuinely enjoy these first few months that can be so trying on parents. THANK YOU CORTNEY!!!!"
Ashley - Dallas, TX
"Cortney did an amazing job with our baby, William. Thanks to her, William is sleeping soundly through the night from 8pm to 8am, and is still exclusively nursing. He started sleeping through the night around 6 weeks and has continued to do so (many months later). We owe it all to Cortney and are grateful for all the tips and tricks she taught us. Keeping him in a routine from the beginning helped lay a foundation in our household that we have been continuing since she left."
Nelie - Atlanta, GA
"I can confidently, and thankfully, praise Cortney's methods. At first, my husband and I had to bring our twin boys home, alone. For two weeks we were simply surviving. On average, I managed two hours of sleep a night. I had the boys sleeping in vibrating chairs, swings, a Pack-n-Play, and their crib. Anything I could find that would allow them to settle down was a blessing. Yes, I used the hospital tips of swaddling, rocking, and pacifying. We even felt prepared due to the two newborn classes we had taken at the hospital prior to delivering. However, nothing prepared me for this. I felt lost and overwhelmed. Cortney entered our lives on week three. She showed me a few sleep tricks, and within two hours had my boys sleeping safely in their own cribs! At that moment I knew she has a true gift, and I was blessed to have her."
Laura - Carmel, IN
"Five Stars! If I could, I would give Gibson Newborn Services 5 Thousand Stars! My 10-month-old son was having severe sleep disturbances, waking as many as 12 times each night and I was a walking zombie. Thank goodness a friend told me about Cortney, she came and saved the day! She was very knowledgeable, caring and gentle. Now my little boy sleeps through the night and has regular naps and I am a better mom because I am no longer exhausted all the time. Hiring Cortney was the best thing I could have done for our son and I recommend her without reservation to anyone who needs help with their little one!"
Stacey - Indianapolis, IN
"The sleep consultation was the best money we've ever spent. Cortney is truly an expert in the baby field. The techniques she showed us weren't rocket science, but more "Ah-ha!" moments that just made sense once she explained why they work. I wish I would have met her two years earlier when my first was born! My 14 week old is sleeping 10 hours a night--something my first child didn't do until she was 13 months old. I have already recommended Cortney to several friends and if need be, I would hire Cortney in a heartbeat."

The perspective of a mother
In 2020, Cortney joined the ranks of the pandemic moms, as she gave birth to her son, Sawyer, during the first wave of COVID-19. She has now been in the role of caregiver, agency owner, mom, and nanny employer, which has truly informed many of the company policy updates and offerings at GNS. When asked how becoming a mom has impacted her work, Cortney said, “Motherhood has given me incredible insight into the challenges parents face today and has fueled my passion for filling the gaps in the village of support that we all need and deserve to have." When Sawyer isn’t climbing trees at his forest preschool, he can sometimes be found “helping” his mama work in the office. As you can imagine, having a young child at home limits the number of clients Cortney can work with in person. Luckily, Sawyer's grandparents live nearby and are all too happy to help out.
