YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM NEEDS ANOTHER ARM
The Care You Need for a Restful Postpartum
The number one thing we hear from families after working together is,
"I wish all of my friends had a Postpartum Doula."
​
You deserve the rest. Your questions deserve answers that don't come from Google. And this season deserves to be remembered for the good parts.
Meet Jillian Hollis: founder, your doula & biggest cheerleader.
A STORY FROM THE FOUNDER
This is personal.
Really personal.
My two siblings and I were raised by a single mom, 1,200 miles away from her friends and family. I watched her navigate parenthood without a village, and it shaped everything about how I see the postpartum season.
​
Fast forward to my adulthood, my husband, Dimitri, and I went through three years of infertility before IVF brought us our daughter, Georgie. During that time, I hired all the things- a fertility doula, a birth doula, a postpartum doula, and had six appointments with an IBCLC.
​
Here's what I know to be true: you can listen to every podcast and read every book, and, in my case, take every training. But hands on support and care is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
​
Whether you have family around the corner or not, having someone genuinely in your corner makes all the difference.
​
That's why I do this work. And that's how I insist my team show up for every single family we support.
If babies are a jigsaw puzzle, Jillian is a master puzzle solver. Jillian feels like the friend you’ve had for 10 years with the added benefit of being a baby expert. She listened to what our daughter was struggling with and the small tricks we had learned so far, and came up with ideas and a plan to improve everyone’s sleep. At 7 weeks, our daughter is now sleeping in a bassinet and getting decent stretches overnight. Above any physical item or baby gadget, hiring Jillian has been the most impactful on our second baby experience.
