About Me

The BIRTH-Y STUFF: My name is Holly Wilhite. I am passionate about supporting and empowering women. I am a professional doula, offering intuitive, holistic birth and postpartum services to expecting women in Misawa . I support families through experienced based skill, compassionate listening and a heart for personal relationships. I am passionate about empowering women to become their own highest advocate because I know that you are the best person to make decisions for your family. My love for birth and calling to doula work came when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with anything baby, pregnancy or birth related. As a teen, I mentored with an OBGYN for a couple years as he allowed me to observe and assist in births . I attended dozens of births, which inspired me to develop my love and passion for expecting families. Aside from my own motherhood, this is the most important work I’ve ever had the honor of doing. As a doula, I am committed to offering continuous labor support physically, emotionally and informationally.

 

The PERSONAL STUFF:  When I'm not attending a birth, I am usually with my husband and five children. My husband is my best friend and my children keep me grounded and busy but I'm obsessed and absolutely blessed to be their mom. We currently live in Japan due to my husband being active duty military. It has been a blessing in our lives and I am so grateful to be alongside those who serve our country and even more blessed to help welcome their babies into the world.  I enjoy  organizing, taking pictures, laughing out loud to my own gifs, soaking in the sun, cooking (rarely with a recipe) , eating and binge watching shows like the office, while eating Thai. I'm a big believer on being intentional in everything you do,doing more of what matters and less of what doesn't.

​

I consider it the highest honor to be welcomed into your birth experience.
