She holds numerous advanced credentials, including Certified Neonatal Therapist (CNT), Certified Neonatal Touch and Massage Therapist (NTMTC), and Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS). Holly is also an active member of the National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT) and completed an intensive six-month mentorship in infant and child Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT).
Throughout her career, Holly has worked extensively in the NICU and follow-up clinics, focusing on optimizing outcomes for premature and medically fragile infants and their families. In recognition of her expertise and dedication, she received the NANT Clinical Excellence Award in 2018, honoring her leadership and advancements in therapeutic interventions for NICU infants with cardiopulmonary conditions.
