We are thrilled to have Madeline Holland on our Concepts in Mental Health & Resilience team, where she has been making a meaningful impact since October 2024. Madeline brings a distinctive and holistic approach to wellness, combining her professional expertise in meditation, fitness, and nutrition coaching to support clients in nurturing both their mental and physical well-being.

With a strong belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, Madeline is deeply committed to empowering individuals on their mental health journeys. Her approach is rooted in compassion, encouragement, and a personalized understanding of each client’s unique needs and goals. Whether she’s guiding someone through mindful movement, offering nutritional insights, or creating space for stillness and reflection, Madeline helps others tap into their own resilience and inner strength.

A particularly heartwarming aspect of Madeline’s work is her integration of Gertrude, her emotional support puppy. Gertrude brings an added layer of comfort, connection, and laughter to Madeline’s sessions—helping to create a welcoming, emotionally safe environment where clients can feel truly understood and supported.
