MacKenzie Parsons
Postpartum Doula | Labor Doula

MacKenzie loves helping women look forward to their birth and parenting experiences with a joyful anticipation, free of expectations and fears. As a labor doula, she helps families create happy memories in childbirth that help form them into the parents they are becoming. Assuaging fears and helping forge trusting respectful relationships between women and their partners, doctors/midwives, and nurses is one of her top priorities as a doula.

She holds a special place in her heart for new mommies! New babyhood is such a special time in life, that can also be full of some really difficult challenges. She loves providing emotional and physical support during postpartum so that mothers have more energy, more confidence, and more time to bond with their new baby(ies) and have a peaceful transition into parenthood.

She is a mother of 2 and loves birth and babies.

Lis Mitchell
Postpartum Doula | Placenta Specialist | Prenatal Yoga Instructor

Lis has been helping families honor the great transition into parenthood since 2012. She holds a Bachelors of Science in Psychology and is passionate about pre and postnatal health, continuously studying this field to best serve women and their families in the childbearing years. Lis lends a helping hand, a non-judgemental ear, and and open heart to all families she serves.

Lis is a mother of 3 young children, and it was shortly after her first journey into motherhood, in 2011, that Lis began her career as a doula. Through her own experience, she noticed a lack of support for the many transformations and challenges that parents experience in the early months.  Lis began supporting families to help honor and support this great transition through doula work, placenta encapsulation, and prenatal yoga.  

Lis believes that we are all deserving of support, and she provides this to families in a truly heart-felt and inspiring way. We are so grateful to have Lis be a part of our wonderful High Country Doulas team.
