Real Stories From Families Who Felt the Difference
What a Blessing!
“The lactation support is totally worth it if you are wanting to breastfeed and are having trouble. High County Doulas is genuinely a blessing! ❤️”
Fear of giving birth…
“My entire life, I carried a lot of fear and trauma around birth, and I was honestly terrified of the experience. As a first-time mom, that anxiety felt overwhelming. I was paired with doulas Parker and Gracie, and they were truly incredible. Throughout my pregnancy, I felt so supported, seen, and heard.”
Support from start to finish…
“High Country Doulas really came through for my family. With it being my first birth, I was happy to know that my doula would be with me every step of the way. Michaela made sure to support both myself and my husband with thoughtful questions and advice. We were able to focus on the important parts and most of all, just be there in the moment with each other.”
Birth Support with Nellie
“I couldn’t have had the positive experience of birth without my doulas. Nellie was the one that was there for me when it was time for me to give birth, but she and Madeline were fantastic through the whole process. They were there to answer questions I had and give me support as I developed my birthing plan. They showed my husband important positions he could use to help ease my pain during contractions, helping him feel like he was able to help me through the experience.”
Childbirth and Infant Feeding Education Classes
“The most helpful aspect of the classes was the knowledge of the teachers. Because this was our first child we wanted to not feel so overwhelmed. HCD helped us feel comfortable in the unknown and shared foundational information that was so helpful.”
In-Home Visit with Baby Born at 37 Weeks
“Working with High Country Doulas has been so incredibly valuable to us. We got some last minute news that our girl needed to be delivered via c section 3 weeks early due to her undersize weight. It was important to us that we welcome her into our home privately without extended family at first but with the change in plans we were intimidated and needed guidance.”

“Placenta Encapsulation changed my PP experience. I absolutely recommend.”
- Jessica, second-time mom

Labor Support for a Third-Time Mom
"They were patient and kind during an exhausting period and helped walk me through skills like swaddling, soothing, sterilizing bottle, etc. It was nice to have someone slowly re-explain and demonstrate all of these things once you are out of the hospital. I highly recommend their services to first-time parents—it was the extra boost we needed. “
Lily Hennessy - First time mom
An Empowered Birth Experience I’ll Forever Be Grateful For
“I will forever be grateful for the help from my amazing doula Nellie Hensley-Ahrens.
Being able to birth how I wanted with the support from Nellie and my husband made this experience unforgettable. I think that all women should have access to doulas for their babies, because the knowledge and support you get from these women is truly life changing.”
