Hollie Kunesh, LMT & Birth Doula
Trying out some TMJ release techniques during the 2015 Costa Rica Workshop/Training
Hollie is a Maine Licensed Massage Therapist and currently offers many therapeutic massage services, including Pregnancy Massage, at People's Salon and Spa in Waterville, Maine. She is a professional member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals, Massage Therapy Instructor at Panacea School of Integrative Health, and in the past was an instructor at Kennebec Valley Community College. Hollie's passion for massage began when she herself was pregnant and received amazing pain relief from massage therapy. After she completed her certification for Massage Therapy she went on to further her education by becoming a Certified Pregnancy Massage Therapist, and also offers bodywork treatment for women struggling with fertility. In 2015, Hollie traveled to San Jose, Costa Rica to complete a 7 day training with Erik Dalton, Ph.D to become a Certified Myoskeletal Therapist. She offers a variety of techniques during her massage sessions in order to help her clients achieve their goals in health and wellness and custom tailors each session to meet their needs. Working with men, women, and children she has seen first-hand the benefits that regular massage sessions can have on the body, mind, and spirit.
In January 2014 she attended the Birth-Doula Training offered at Birth Roots Perinatal Resource Center in Portland, Maine and since her training has had the opportunity to serve many women in her community while they birth their babies. Feeling a true calling to this work, Hollie is available to attend women for both home and hospital births to help them feel empowered, supported, and in control during their labor and delivery. Having heard many great stories of how women were able to feel in control during their birth by using Mongan Method HypnoBirthing®, Hollie took additional training for HypnoBirthing® for birth workers and has found these techniques to be equally soothing and calming for laboring women. She strives to help women birth in a way that leaves them feeling centered and empowered throughout their labor and delivery.
Continuing her journey of personal and professional growth, 2017 marked the year Hollie completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Panacea Yoga Studio in Hallowell, Maine and shortly after graduation attended Holistic Yoga Flow's Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Travis Eliot (E-RYT 500). A 300-hour YTT is currently in the works as she continues to study with her teachers from Los Angeles and Boston as well as local yoga teachers. She's found a new appreciation for movement in the body and enjoys sharing helpful yoga poses with her clients so they can also enjoy the benefits of yoga and freedom from pain.
Hollie currently resides in South China, Maine and enjoys spending as much time as possible with her family and friends. Growing up in a small town on the coast of Maine she enjoys the quiet life of small town living with friendly neighbors and plenty of space for her dogs and chickens to roam. Gardening is one of her favorite hobbies as well as traveling whenever possible. Even though Hollie has two teenage children she still has the flexibility to be at your service when you need her and looks forward to hearing from you soon!
