Holly Hunter
SOUTHERN OREGON, USA & ONLINE
LACTATION CONSULTANT, WOMENS CIRCLES, LACTATION & MATRESCENCE CLASSES + 1:1 SESSIONS
Hi, I'm Holly! I'm an RN, a certified breastfeeding specialist, and a matrescence educator and guide. I was working as an ICU RN in 2020 when I became a mother and realized, this is NOT how it's supposed to be! I was inspired to change the world and focus on helping mothers and babies. I struggled so hard in my postpartum, which is sadly, an all too common problem in our culture. Because of that, I keep a focus in my work of mother's mental health, creating community, and helping mothers call in all of the support they can. I am so excited about this work and I love connecting with other moms!
