As a mom of two young kids, Holly has a very visceral understanding about how exhausting it is to be “Mom.” She knows what it feels like to clench your jaw and grit your teeth through yet another tantrum, bounce a screaming baby for hours on end, and to wonder how you somehow managed to make it through yet another sleep-deprived day.

So when you walk into her treatment room and say, “my feet are so sore from pregnancy I want to cut them off,” she gets it. If you need to vent about how hard it is to get groceries without a meltdown, she gets it. If you just want to lay in silence for an entire hour to shut your brain off, she gets that too.

In case you haven’t noticed — Holly is a major birth geek. She’s gained clinical experience working with and supporting moms through their pregnancies via outreach programs in the High Risk Antepartum/Prenatal ward at BC Women's Hospital, and became a doula with the Wise Woman Way of Birth doula training. 

Holly is also a certified Paediatric Massage Therapist with the Liddlekidz Foundation, with a keen interest in paediatric pain management and the importance of touch in infant development. She’s also completed post-graduate courses with Paula Jaspar about massage therapy support through pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum, and for infants.

She continues to broaden her knowledge of industry best practices by nerding regularly over the latest evidence-based research in Women and Children’s Health.

If all of that weren’t enough to win you over, Holly also spent six years as a Child Passenger Safety Technician (more commonly referred to as a car seat tech).
