About me

Hi! I’m Jillian Hollis! I am a Postpartum and Birth Doula, Lactation Counselor, Mindful Birth Educator, Newborn Care Specialist, Infant Sleep Coach + Miscarriage Doula serving families in Greater Portland. I’m also the Associate Director of Boston Doula Circle, mentoring a team of 20 birth and postpartum doulas. I believe all parents deserves calm, loving, and supported care from family planning through postpartum. I’m an IVF mom to a spirited 2-year-old, so like you, I’ve been there. I understand the hopes, uncertainty, and joy that come with this journey. Since moving to Maine, I’ve missed the connection of working with families directly, which continues to be my greatest joy. My training is rooted in African American Midwifery, blending mindfulness, empowerment, and compassion to meet families where they are. I support all races, genders, and family structures. Let’s connect for a complimentary consultation to learn how I can support your journey into parenthood.

Every family is different which is why we believe in customizing care to match your needs. Whether you need four nights of restful sleep a week or a few hours during the day for support, we provide an experienced, compassionate support system that you can be confident in. We chose to specialize in postpartum care because we understand the important restorative role sleep plays in the lives of new families. We’re devoted to giving families the best start possible through the promise of sleep and education. We are currently providing care in Portland and the surrounding suburbs.
