OH HEY THERE!
I´m Jillian Hollis. I´ve helped many
Portland parents just like you stop surviving the newborn stage and actually enjoy it.
Ready to actually feel supported this time around? Excited about the newborn stage but want someone in your corner who's done this a hundred times? Looking for less guessing and more confidence heading into those first few weeks? You're in exactly the right place.
Just a few years ago I was where you are right now.
Pregnant, excited, and completely convinced I had it handled. I had people around me who loved me. Besides this being my career, I had read the books, data, and blog posts. I thought that was enough.
​
It wasn't until I was in it that I realized having someone who was great at one thing wasn't the same as having someone who knew everything I needed. A lactation consultant who was incredible at her job still didn't know I was also struggling to sleep, or that my house felt like chaos, or that I hadn't eaten a real meal in two days. Everyone I brought in saw their piece of the puzzle. Nobody saw the whole thing.
​
I didn't need a service. I needed a resource.
​
That's when I knew there had to be a better way.
That's when I realized that every family deserves access to everything I know, not just the parts they can afford to add on.
I became a doula before I ever had a baby of my own. I spent years immersed in everything postpartum care could be. Newborn behavior, infant sleep, lactation support, postpartum recovery, the emotional side of those first weeks. I took every training, asked every question, and built up a level of knowledge I was really proud of. And then I had my daughter, and everything I had learned stopped being something I knew and became something I felt. The 3am uncertainty. The desperate need for someone to just tell you you’re doing it right. The way one good night of sleep can completely change your outlook.
What kept frustrating me was watching families cobble together support from a dozen different places. Paying separately for a lactation consultant, overnight newborn care, a sleep coach. Getting bits and pieces when what they actually needed was one person who could do all of it, who knew them, and who genuinely cared how the whole thing was going. That’s what Sunny Side is. When you work with us you get everything. The hands on care, the infant sleep coaching, the lactation support, the education, and someone in your corner who wants your postpartum to feel really, really good. I built a team I trust completely to show up for every family the same way I do. I’d love to have you.
What I bring to every family.
