📍North Carolina: Buncombe, Hendson, Polk, & Transylvania counties

✨ Meet Colette Featherston, CLC, PCD (DONA) ✨

After moving to Western North Carolina 🌄 and becoming a parent herself 🤍, Colette’s postpartum experience opened her eyes to the profound need for support during those early weeks after birth. What began as a tender and challenging season ultimately led her to a deeply meaningful calling as a Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counselor.

Colette brings together a rich background in social work, mental health coaching 🧠, gardening 🌱, cooking 🍲, herbalism 🌿, and a love of being outdoors 🌞—all of which inform her holistic, parent‑centered approach.

She is passionate about creating space for deep listening 👂, honoring each lactating person’s goals, and supporting families as they build confidence and trust in themselves.

💛 Specialties include:
🤍 Deep, compassionate listening
🤍 Latch and positioning support
🤍 Recognizing signs of effective milk transfer
🤍 Navigating pumping and the transition back to work

Colette feels deeply honored to walk alongside families during such a tender and transformative time 🌸✨https://www.babiesincommon.com/directory/item/colette-featherston-clc-pcd-dona

This fl**ge fitting thing it real, y'all.
Some say it's a fad, but nope. 🙈

Some ask, "where is the evidence".🧾
There is some, but where is the evidence that people "should" be pumping with 21mm fl**ges and larger? 📣

Some say they shouldn't change practice based on one study.
Okaaaay, but how about you TRY it on a few people, and then see what works? 👀

Or, maybe attend a workshop or online course that I offer so you can learn more? 🧐

There is a FREE webinar 💻️ all about the history and evidence about fl**ge fitting, and a low-cost short-course about fl**ge fitting, too. And other webinars you can watch to learn more. And a longer course online. And in-person offerings. 🪑 And more coming.

See https://www.babiesincommon.com/webinar to get started.

P.S. and yes, I checked. 11,424 births last year, NOT a typo.
