Nancy Lewis Holland
Your Santa Barbara Postpartum Doula & Sleep Coach
Caring for a new baby isn't easy - and it's normal to feel completely unprepared and overwhelmed. As a Postpartum Doula, Lactation Counselor and Gentle Sleep Coach, I provide the information and support new parents need to find their confidence again - and have a happy, well-rested baby.
With 16+ years of experience supporting new families, I've helped 150+ new families thrive in this new role. From feeding to sleep, I've got you covered as a professional Certified Lactation Educator (CLE) and Consultant (UCSD), Postpartum Doula, and Gentle Sleep Coach. My experience includes new supporting families with twins, cesarean birth, adoptive families, and a history of breast surgery.
Serving the Santa Barbara, Ventura and Ojai region.
