Real Stories From Families Who Felt the Difference
Kelly and Jonathan
“Working with Allison at HCD was invaluable! She equipped us with so much useful information that we used during our birth. She also shared warmth and built our confidence in the birth process and went out of her way to make us feel supported. I would highly recommend HCD to anyone considering! It was such a great decision for our family and helped us have the birth we hoped for.”
Kelly & Jonathan — 2nd time parents
Christina & Bryson
“Chelsey was amazing! She kept everything very clean and prepared the placenta quickly! I also loved that she was also my labor doula so I was able to talk to her about the birth and take time to process while she was there.”

Meredith & Brandon
“Chelsey and Rachel respected, supported, and thoroughly helped me prepare for my unmedicated, natural birth. Rachel was our birth doula and she encouraged me to follow my instincts with different positions and breath. Her and my husband never left my side during our 13-hour labor.
Chelsey spent time with me, one-on-one, to help with breastfeeding. We can’t wait for both Chelsey and Rachel to be there for our future babies!”
Meredith L. - Johnson City
Lena B.
“We could not have made it through the first few months of twins without Chelsey, Madelyn, and Rachel! They were amazing and constantly gave us tips to make twin parenthood more manageable. While we were hesitant to have outside help, it only took a couple nights for us to feel completely at ease with HCD handling both babies overnight while we got a good night’s rest. The nights they were here became our favorite nights of the week! :)”

Erin McGuire
“When things took a turn and we had to go for the c-section delivery, she kept me positive and excited to have my baby either way! She was a delight to spend time with in between the contractions and tense moments, and she was very supportive to me and my husband during the rough patches that labor brings with it. I can say even though it was a long laborious process, I actually enjoyed my 36 hours of induced labor since our doula was there to help us through it. Our doula also helped my husband stay in the game and keep his calm throughout the process as well.”

Grace & Mark
“Chelsey and Allison were great from the first time we met. They gave me the confidence and knowledge to safely labor at home even as a first time mom.”

Sabrina & Dennis
“Chelsey did an amazing job leading the childbirth express class I attended. I had done a lot of research prior to attending and came prepared with some rather complex questions which she was able to answer for me almost effortlessly, truly demonstrating her depth of knowledge.”

Sara & Matt
“Our doula, Allison was most helpful during the birth as she aided in pain management. She also provided vital information and resources prior to and after the birth of our daughter.”
“Our doula was a saving grace during labor. She offered massage during contractions and suggested positional changes to help manage pain. I truly feel that I do not know how I would have managed without her. She was available prior to the birth to answer questions, especially as I navigated the last week of pregnancy and experienced Braxton-Hicks and intermittent contractions. She also provided invaluable information after the birth regarding breastfeeding, sleep schedules, baby comfort techniques, and postpartum emotions.”
- Sara, first time mom
Laura and Joseph
“I am so thankful that we enlisted the help of High Country Doulas for postpartum assistance when our twins came home. Their help was invaluable to us during a very hectic time! All of the doulas we worked with were knowledgeable, professional, and eager to assist. The experience was entirely positive for my family.”
-Joseph (Dad of four)
Kara & Dan
“Having the doula there to provide tips and ensure a good first feed, and having an appointment the day after birth with lactation consultants established a good latch. Being given information on what is normal vs what is not , knowing that sore nipples don't last and engorgement becomes less frequent once milk supply regulates. This kept me from worrying or wanting to give up or try bottles”
-Kara - Wilkesboro mom
Brittany & Jeremy
“My doula, Hannah was absolutely amazing. Jeremy, my mom and I have said multiple times that things would have gone remarkably different if it weren’t for her. She was the calm and voice of truth in the midst of the battle going on inside me. Every part of me wanted to give up, my hopes for a birth center birth, but she consistently spoke truth. ‘You are doing great! You got this. Breathe.’
Just really, really grateful for her. I can’t recommend having a doula enough.”
Brittany A. - Boone
Tamatha and Scott
“My doula Allison is absolutely amazing! She is so warm and loving and I felt absolutely comfortable welcoming her to our home and for the birth of our son. Throughout my pregnancy I had continuous support from her, any question or concern I had I knew I could count on her. I had no idea my labor would end up so fast! Allison made it while I was pushing, she put her arms around me while I was in the birth pool which gave me a positive reassurance I needed. She is so loving and definitely helped keep me relaxed even after baby was born. No matter if this is your first or your sixth baby I highly recommend High Country Doulas.”
-Tamatha - third time mother
