About
About Holly
Born and raised in Santa Cruz, I grew up loving the ocean, redwoods, and the warmth of our special little bay. I've always felt a sense of togetherness that is cultivated by this unique and loving town. I'm honored to be a part of its supportive community.
​
I've had a passion for working with children for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a large family, there were always kids to watch and entertain, even when I myself was still a kid! To foster this passion I obtained my BA in Early Childhood Studies in 2021. While in college, I became a teacher in the toddler and infant rooms at a nearby preschool.
After working with babies and children for 7 years, I started postpartum doula work and fell in love. I have an immense passion for supporting families and their children. Nothing makes me happier than helping parents become confident in their abilities as they transition into parenthood.
