Birth Doula, Yoga and Meditation Instructor, Thai Yoga Practitioner
Daytime Postpartum
Originally from Bloomington, Indiana, Holly studied literature and dance at Oberlin College. She's been performing and choreographing since graduation, most recently with her own company, Muliebris Dance Theatre. In 2016 she studied Thai Yoga with Al Turner II at Two Souls Massage and the following year got her yoga certification through Kula Yoga Project. Since 2017 she's been teaching yoga and doing Thai yoga full time. After being at the birth of her sister's first child, Holly's interest in becoming a birth doula grew. In the spring of 2022, she did her training through DONA with Bruchy Mayer and a 6-month doula mentorship with Anna Cheechov. Holly incorporates her vinyasa and Thai yoga knowledge, love of imagination and literature, and study of meditation and the mind in her doula work to help parents move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in a grounded, flexible, and creative way. Now after the birth of her son, Harry, and her own postpartum journey, Holly focuses on supporting parents postpartum. She offers practical support, healing touch and movement, and mindfulness practices to help you survive and savor this transition.

What families are saying

Holly supported me during the birth of my first child, Maxim, at New York Presbyterian. She brought us the birth ball and helped me get comfortable on it, led me through breathing exercises, and communicated with hospital staff effectively. Her calming presence and knowledge made a big difference in my birthing experience. -Lianna Marks
I have been practicing yoga regularly for nearly 15 years and have been taking classes weekly with Holly for over three years. Holly's calm demeanor, intuitive adjustments and positive attitude are always what my stressed, New Yorker body and psyche need. My friends and I look forward to Holly's class each week and measure all other teachers and classes against her gold standard. -Skye Greenfield
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
