Postpartum Doulas

Congratulations! You’re expecting a baby (or babies!) or maybe you are home with your newborn.

Perhaps this will be your first time bathing your little one, soothing and calming them, or hearing the term “parenting philosophy.”

Maybe you’re returning to work and need to create more predictable schedules but have no clue where to start. Or perhaps you’re simply overwhelmed, have little or no support and need someone to lift you up and calm the chaos.

In walks your postpartum doula....she is warm, comforting, attentive, and her expertise puts you immediately at ease. She magically gets your baby to latch, pours you a cup of tea, and calms the overwhelm you’ve been feeling all day with a single smile. 

She teaches you a safer and more effective way to swaddle your baby and explains the differences between your overwhelming collection of pacis, bottles, carriers, and various baby accoutrement. And she somehow manages to let you take the first nap you’ve had all week.

Quickly come to you...

And we support your postpartum adjustment in a way that builds your confidence, eases stress, and allows you to build long-lasting sustainable strategies to calm the overwhelm.

What's included?

Every shift with your High Country Doula begins by assessing what your most important goals are for that specific day/night.

Perhaps one day you want her to care for your baby(ies) while you take a much needed bath and nap. Perhaps another day you want her guidance on how to use your breast pump or infant carrier. Need help discovering which parenting philosophies and techniques will work best for your family? We know there are many ways to parent and you can choose what is right for your family. Need guidance on getting your baby on a more predictable sleep schedule? Our doulas help with all of these things and more.

We provide daytime & nighttime care options. Our prices differ depending on the type of care and number of hours desired. Contact us to learn more.

Our postpartum doulas are infant first aid and CPR certified and carry active doula insurance. Our team has been hand-picked and trained by the same certifying organization (ProDoula) to give your family the consistent and quality care you deserve.

Testimonials

“My wife and I used High Country Doulas immediately after the birth of our son and continue to use them for occasional backup support. They certainly made the anxious, early days after coming home from the hospital calm, smooth, and more joyful with their helping hands, emotional support, and willingness to support us in any way we needed. They certainly made us better and saner parents in the first weeks and months after our son's birth.”

“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 mom

“High Country Doulas provided us with invaluable information and hands-on help prior to, during, and after the birth of our daughter.

She was also a great resource after the birth for help with breastfeeding, sleep schedules, baby comfort techniques, and postpartum emotions. We have seen major improvements in our newborn's behavior and schedule after receiving advice from Allison. Thankfully, we now know how to calm our crying baby and put her down for sleep! Our doula has made a world of difference in our lives as new parents.”

Sara D. — Boone NC

"I worked with High Country Doulas after the birth of my baby. I can honestly say I would not have survived those subsequent weeks of motherhood physically and mentally without their help. They are simply incredible! Their availability and flexibility in schedule was extremely important to me. They were available at all hours...I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone, and I know I would do it again if I were to do the baby thing all over again."

- Martina L., First-time mom

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

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

"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. 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. "
