Dear High Country Doulas,
“I wanted to thank you not only for the information on paced bottle feeding, but the guidance you provided when you visited us. We have been using the techniques for soothing and sleeping. Our son sleeps well at night, waking 2-3 times for feedings. It was so helpful to have you come and share knowledge with us, and I appreciated someone caring about my wellbeing as well as our son’s.”

"We had a fantastic experience with the High Country Doulas, utilizing many of their services and working with all of their doulas: labor support, breastfeeding and postpartum classes, and daytime and overnight services.
Without family in the area, we really benefitted from all of this help and knowledge in order to best care for our first child. We had an unexpected long stay in the hospital, followed by breastfeeding pain, followed by the sleepless nights that accompany every newborn, and other questions that popped up as we moved forward with our little one (questions about digestion, sleeping, etc.).
I would recommend any of their doulas, who provided excellent support of all kinds (physical, emotional, etc.) and even are willing to answer questions that pop up off-duty. This is an excellent and trustworthy organization that will help you transition to various stages of parenthood. I can’t recommend them enough."

“Stacey was there for my birth. I honestly feel like if it wasn't for her advocating for me, i wouldn't have gotten the natural birth I wanted to have. It was really nice to have someone assist with labor. I think it also put my husband at ease knowing he had support as well. Allison was very knowledgeable and helped me when I was struggling with breastfeeding among countless other questions. Having the support whenever we needed it truly made a difference. I can't thank you both enough!”
—Stephanie Burdette - Newton mom
“Allison and Stacey were amazing! Any time my wife or I had questions, they were more than happy to help and were very quick to respond. Stacey was incredible during labor and delivery. From helping my wife and I stick to the birthing plan to the really good photos that we otherwise never would have gotten, she was with us every step of the way. Would definitely recommend High Country Doulas to any expecting parents.”

“The postpartum class was super helpful! I felt prepared for either a vaginal or C-section recovery. We had to relocate and recover in a new place and we spent the most time in the NICU with our son. I was able to bring all the right things that made that awkward healing process as comfortable as could be in that public bathroom.
Labor went so quickly, we didn't get to use any of the comfort measures, but it was helpful in that my partner and I went into labor feeling fully prepared.
The infant feeding class also helped us feel more confident. We haven't been able to even try breastfeeding yet, so I've been pumping exclusively. Hearing Chelsey talk about how magical the colostrum and milk is has motivated me to keep at it, no matter how limited my supply is.”
