"I made a last-minute decision to hire a doula and my husband and I are so glad we did. Our doula helped me stay calm and was knowledgeable about techniques to manage the pain of contractions and to speed labor along. My husband was thankful that he could step out and take a break without feeling guilty because he knew I was in good hands with [our doula]. She also followed up with us several times during the postpartum period to make sure we were doing okay. We highly recommend High Country Doulas. If you're on the fence---go for it!"

– Ginna E, First-time mom

"High Country Doulas proved to be an excellent resource to turn to when approaching the many unknown situations we would encounter during our first pregnancy. The classes were very informative and conversational and their experience was clear and helpful from the initial meeting through postpartum. I am glad we made the decision to work with them and continue to be thankful for their help."

– Tim S, First-time dad

"I had a wonderful experience with High Country Doulas! I am so glad I had a doula by my side during labor. My labor experience did not go the way I’d hoped, and having someone there who could help us weigh our options and make informed decisions was crucial. She gave us helpful ideas for pain management and was so encouraging the whole time. After we were home from the hospital, she came to the house and helped me process the whole crazy experience. Her knowledge was invaluable. 

The support I got pre- and post-delivery was wonderful. My doulas were always available to answer questions and guide me through the process. The childbirth education class with High Country Doula’s childbirth educators was very helpful in preparing my husband and me for labor, delivery, and basic newborn care. I am so glad I chose to work with High Country Doulas and highly recommend them!"

– Parker C, First-time mom

"From the first trimester through early postpartum, our doula team was a source of wisdom and compassion. When I experienced complications toward the end of my pregnancy, they talked me through my anxieties, guided me through what to expect at the hospital, and helped me be at peace with the new direction my birth was taking. Thanks to their practical and emotional support, I felt like an active participant in my care even before our labor doula met us on site, and I came away with only happy memories of my birth experience."

– Ariel S, First-time mom

"Every aspect of our doula experience was helpful, from prenatal classes to postpartum care!

We always knew that we would want the help of doulas when it came time to start our family, but we could never have dreamed how helpful they would be. From the moment we signed on they were in constant contact, checking on my pregnancy progress and preparation. There is no way that I would have made it through a natural labor and delivery without the help of our labor doula. She used a combination of massage, movement, essential oils, humor and more to make the experience as smooth and memorable as possible.

The postpartum doula met us when we got home from the hospital and immediately got to work making us comfortable. She worked with and empowered us for 8 amazing weeks before saying goodbye with a batch of homemade brownies!"

– Brittany S, First-time mom

"We are so grateful for High Country Doula's presence and support during and after our daughter's birth and know that we would not have had the birth that we desired without their help.

Our doula's peaceful and nurturing spirit was exactly what I needed to keep me calm and focused throughout labor, especially after a somewhat scary start.

I loved how hands-on she was during some of the most challenging and intense moments of labor and that she helped my husband to feel deeply connected to every aspect of the experience. We could not have asked for a more positive birth experience and know that much of this is because of High Country Doula's support to our family.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us bring our daughter into the world!"

– Ashley P. Professor, ASU & First time mom

"I liked the professionalism of the staff. They came with name tags on for each shift. I enjoyed reading the report card they left explaining how the baby did, when he ate and what they accomplished at the end of their shift. That was a really nice touch. I appreciated their personalized attention and knowledge of every aspect of parenting, breastfeeding and child care. We worked the most with Allison and she was extremely thorough and resourceful! If there was something she didn't know she would research it.

The staff was extremely professional and flexible. I felt very comfortable and at ease to let her care for our newborn upon meeting her. She was extremely knowledgeable and resourceful on several topics and provided us with techniques to help care for our baby. The service is 5 stars!

The payment process was very simplistic. That was appreciated and easy to do. Don't have anything negative to say. We truly enjoyed the care provided!"

– Kelly V, First-time mother

"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience—getting to witness the preparation of the placenta, the sharing of knowledge and support from our encapsulation specialist. 

Our birth doula was amazing as well. We had a long and somewhat traumatic labor and delivery experience. Having a 3rd person there for support and guidance was invaluable." 

– Honna M. Speech Pathologist & Mom of one

"We loved feeling supported during our son's long labor! Our doula listened to every want and need...she even knew what I needed before I did! My favorite part about having a doula was feeling like I had a member on my team that could think clearly and give me the support that I needed."

All through my pregnancy, I was convinced I would have this whole mom gig down. Once the baby came, I quickly realized how in over my head I was. My husband has a demanding work schedule and l had entered into a new life from a NYC professional to a stay at home mom in Boone.

I thought I could handle it but I found myself needing a break every now and then in order to restore myself, mentally and physically. After my first week with Allison, I had only wished I found her sooner. She's trustworthy, observant to my needs and genuinely cares for my son with love. She's also an on demand help when she isn't here with us. I know I can shoot her a text at any time and she'll respond with advice that always helps pinpoint what our son might be going through.

A natural caregiver, Allison has contributed to my son's growth, kept my house in order and has been a shoulder to lean on when I've felt overwhelmed. Not only does she help keep our family together in the moment, but she also educates us on what to expect in our son's next phase. Knowing what to look for helps minimize the guessing game and we're able to comfort and soothe him quicker than ever. Her calm and comforting presence in our lives has restored me as a mother and wife to my family all while helping me regain my identity. She is a gift I wish I could give to every mother. "
