Holli was such a big part of my postpartum experience. I felt so deeply supported, nourished, and truly cared for. She cooked the most comforting, nourishing meals were so delicious, and the lactation cookies were incredible! She even helped me ‘nest’ and make my home feel cozy and calm as I settled in with my baby. She made me herbal baths and womb steams to support my healing. Holli all around made me feel calm, grounded, and like I could happily be in my baby bubble while she was over. I am forever grateful that Holli was part of this season of my life, and I honestly can’t imagine how moms get through postpartum without care like this!

Holli was everything I needed and more. She stayed with me through 12 hours of labor, helping me breathe, visualize, and use hypnobirthing to work through each contraction. She let me squeeze her hands through every wave and somehow always knew the right words to keep me grounded.
Even when an emergency came up, she comforted my husband while still being fully there for me. Because of her steady presence and encouragement, I was able to have the VBAC I hoped for and the unmedicated birth I honestly didn’t think I could do. I’ll always be so grateful she was part of our story.

Holli is a force of calm and grounding energy in the room. She made me feel so confident, safe and validated through my birth. I really wanted an unmedicated birth, and she was with me by my side coaching me through contractions and helping me lean into surrender. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her through the birth of our daughter! Not only that, but the comfort, reassurance, and tender care she provided postpartum was essential to my recovery and empowerment in my new journey in motherhood.

We wouldn’t have gotten through the birth of our daughter without Holli! As first-time parents, we truly had no idea what to expect or how intense the labor process would be. From the very beginning, Holli brought such a calm and reassuring presence. She stayed by my side for over 24 hours, supporting me through every single contraction, offering comfort, encouragement, and practical tools to help me cope. She explained what was happening in ways I could understand, which took away so much of the fear and uncertainty.
What stood out the most to me was how natural it felt to have her there. The minute I met Holli, I felt like I had known her forever—she instantly became a safe person to lean on, not just for me but for my partner too. She gave us both confidence and helped us feel cared for in a situation that could have otherwise been overwhelming.
Looking back, I honestly can’t imagine my birth experience without her. She wasn’t just there as a doula; she was truly a part of our journey into parenthood.

The way Holli supported us was more than we could’ve ever asked for. My birth ended up being long, complicated, and nothing like what I had imagined. So much happened during those two days—hospital transfers, exhaustion, and so many moments where I felt like I couldn’t keep going. But Holli never left my side. She was with me through every single hour of my 42-hour labor.
Holli has such a remarkable soul. Her presence is grounding—you can feel her calming nature the minute she walks into the room. She gave me the confidence I didn’t know I had, and she knew just how to comfort me. When I felt too scared or too tired to speak up, Holli was my voice. She knew when to advocate for me, and she helped slow the room down so that I could breathe and process what was happening. That made a huge difference in moments that I normally would feel overwhelmed or out of control.
I can honestly say that Holli is forever a part of our family! She will definitely be our doula again in the future.
