Nancy Holland

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Nancy! In our culture, much is expected of a new mom, and the focus so often lands on the sweet baby. In other cultures, new mothers are surrounded with support, often generational, sequestered and cherished as they heal. I bring that same spirit of care into my practice, offering intentional support so mothers are nurtured physically, and just as importantly, emotionally. This work is truly my calling.

This kind of support allows mothers to enjoy a more organic bonding with their little ones. For me, there is such joy in providing tender care for both babies and mothers, and my goal is to help every family experience the same generational warmth and cherishing so many new mothers deserve, but do not always receive.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in creating a safe and nurturing environment for each mother, baby, and partner. I offer positive reinforcement to mothers during this most vulnerable time in their lives. At my first meeting with a mother, I stress the importance of building a relationship with her doula, so she feels comfortable sharing her thoughts and feelings.

Practical support, emotional support, and self-care strategies are so important during the postpartum period. I celebrate every milestone with mothers as they walk through motherhood, always reinforcing their strength and resilience.

Overall, my goal is to help every mother feel nurtured, supported, and reminded of her own strength throughout her postpartum journey.
