The Birth of kozēkozē
When founder Garrett Kusmierz googled “What to do for engorgement leakage?” her second night home from the hospital after giving birth to her son, she was met with the following options: “Don’t pump too much,” “Wear a bra with pads,” “Dress smart,” and “Sleep on a towel.”
Astonished by the lack of support and solution—kozēkozē was born.

Courtney Welch
CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
Courtney has “done it all” when it comes to marketing and when it comes to TTC, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—from an easy breezy first pregnancy, an eight-hour unmedicated birth of her son, and a difficult postpartum period to a high-risk pregnancy, a medicated birth of her stillborn daughter, and navigating postpartum without a baby. Courtney’s heart is for all moms on the journey of motherhood and for them to know they are never alone.
