Becoming a mom has been a really hard adjustment trying to juggle work, kids, a home. I was completely overwhelmed and looking for some guidance to become “unstuck.” I committed to a 6 month leadership lifestar program with Holly and was hopeful. Holly’s work was everything and more. She got to the root of issues and helped me to think differently and think bigger. I am less anxious, more confident and so incredibly excited about the life I can and will create. As a direct result of working with Holly, my career has also been on fire. I’ve received the highest performance rating, an extra bonus and several recognitions. I am also on track to land the promotion I’ve been wanting for awhile.I am so thrilled with the work that I’ve done with Holly that I’ve decided to continue our work together for another 6 months. I’m so excited for what is to come. If you are interested in working on yourself, bettering your career or reaching lofty goals, work with Holly, you will not regret it!

I dont write many reviews, but when I do, its because a certain experience has made a significant impact on my life. About a month and a half ago, I started seeing Holly. I sought a consultation with her initially to find guidance and solutions for some of lifes challenges. Some of these surfaced as recently as a few months ago and others were rooted back to my childhood.Holly was recommended to me by someone close, who suggested I consider a different approach. Upon checking her website, I instinctively felt skeptical, as I am more inclined towards traditional, Western-based medicine.During the free consultation, I remained somewhat skeptical, yet I was highly impressed with Hollys approach and immediate intuition.Following the blueprint session, I felt confident about where this could lead and how I could shift my approach and thinking in life, even down to individual experiences I was facing. I am now three sessions in, and after the first one, I felt a major change in how I refocused my energy and thoughts to be advantageous for my day-to-day life, despite not being fully aware of my natural tendencies (even though I consider myself pretty intuitive and self-reflective). My most significant ah-ha moment was during the first session when we engaged in practical, experience-based, repeatable work, enabling me to walk away with a new tool in my tool belt.I have gained and continue to gain a sense of perspective and practice that is highly applicable and repeatable in daily life. Holly made it clear that its not about perfection but about learning, which widens as I continue to work on it. The best part is that the work isnt burdensome or excessively time-consuming; its very digestible.One of my best experiences with Holly was when I was stuck in an old thought process, and she was available to help me work through it with reminders via a voice text. For me, the flexibility and her genuine willingness to have my best interest at heart are key and set her apart in this industry. Ive listened to that recording numerous times as needed because Holly was flexible and genuine.Hollys compassion and authenticity were apparent from the first session, and I highly recommend her for providing perspective or guidance in various aspects of life. She has already helped me and continues to assist me in many areas, including personal, work, family, social, financial, and recreational aspects of my life.Thank you, Holly, and I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Over the past 3.5 years I have been working with Holly and I feel so fortunate to have her as my life coach as I navigate motherhood, my career and life’s ups and downs.I feel safe, heard and supported. She helps me get to a deeper understanding of things, helps me navigate thru some challenging life experiences and empowers me and reminds me of my inner strength.Holly is also helping me as I navigate my new role in motherhood. She is helping me change old belief patterns and create new ones for me and my family.Since working with Holly, I can see the change within myself especially as it relates to how I react and respond to whatever life presents, listening to my inner voice to guide me and trusting.Her spiritual guidance and intuition are a true gift and I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life.

Working with Holly is truly a gift and a very rare opportunity. Her insight and reflection have been invaluable. I have gone through some very big life transitions during my Coaching Work with her, and feel that she is supporting and guiding me every step of the way. she gives me both worldly and spiritual perspective that is eye-opening and transformational. She is also a rare combination of being humble, funny, profoundly wise and very accessible. I feel like I have someone in my corner who is honest, direct, and caring. My time and money are well spent working with Holly.

Holly is great to work with. She has a way of getting to the root of things and helping me identify the path forward. I trust Holly to help me navigate through some difficult decisions that I need to make in the near future. Holly holds up the mirror for me and holds me accountable for the life that I’m creating for myself. I’m grateful that I have Holly in my life and I highly recommend her.

I have been working with Holly since 2014 and it has been the best personal and professional decision I have made!  She has helped me navigate through change, challenges and triumph.  When I first started working with her, it was to heal trauma and family wounds.  Her innate ability to see what needed to be healed was nothing short of amazing.  She has a true gift to work with young adults to give them tools they can relate to and help them feel empowered and loved.  She transformed my family in a year, that years of traditional therapy had only put a small dent in.  And for this, I am eternally grateful!  Professionally, she helps me achieve my goals through alignment and setting my intentions of what I want the outcome to be as long as it is in the Divine Plan.  The shift of remembering alignment helps me with getting out of my own way and opening the path to joy, love and success.  Whether it is personal or professional, I highly recommend Holly to guide you with love through her purpose and passion of serving mankind!

This review is long overdue. I have been seeking the guidance and support of Holly for 6 or more years now. I have hired SO MANY coaches these past 25 years working on myself and my busienss and I have never met anyone who does what she does. Typically there are business coaches and personal coaches, yet Holly is this rare and uniquely gifted super solid coach on whatever I need, when I need it. I have found Holly is the answer.She has helped me to trust myself which has been my biggest life challenge. She has also helped me gain clarity and insight, whether it be the next best action steps to take in my business, what focus or niche to move into, or what is holding me back personaly or profesionally.I have been going through one of the most absolutely challenging things I think anyone could have to experience and I do not know how I would be making it though without her solid, intuitive, and powerful guidance. This woman is able to navigate the depths of darkness to to break free from whatever is holding me back in any way shape or form. She has empowered me tremendously coaxing me to listen to my divine guidance and rise into the highest version of myself, over and over. Thank you, Holly! You and your work are priceless!

Holly has been life-changing for me - I was referred to her by a trusted friend as I struggled to navigate my career trajectory. In our first session, Holly cut right to the core, insightfully identifying the issues behind some of my struggles. From there, she suggested goal setting to my birthday (just a few short months away); the sessions that followed were nothing but transformative in rapid succession: each healing, empowering, eye opening, skill building, and all oriented toward finding strength to fulfill my purpose for myself, but ultimately, to contribute to the greater good. By the time my birthday came around, the goals we had set had -gasp- manifested. It was the most joyful experience - and Holly was right there cheering me on. Most importantly, Holly empowers you with the tools to empower yourself, to find your own light, to, ultimately, be the light the world needs. Im so grateful to the lessons and skills shes led me toward and I look forward to every single session.

If I could use one word to describe the past year+ working with Holly it would be hope. Regaining the hope I had lost for my life. Developing hope for a better future. On this healing journey, I have used and continue to use many modalities that work cohesively to achieve my goals for better mental, emmotional, physical and spiritual health. However, no other person that I have found so far is as dedicated, capable, caring and effective as Holly. She was the one who reached down into the well and pulled me out. Without judgement, and with continued encouragement, she is steadfast in her mission to help people. If you are reading this review to see if Holly is the right fit for you, I can honestly say in all my years I have found no one better. I could describe every little thing that makes her wonderful and unique, but I hope you will give her a chance and find out for yourself. I am eternally greatfull for how she has impacted my life. Thank you so very much Holly. I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Holly has helped me find clarity and inspiration in some of the most difficult and murky times in my professional and personal life. She’s truly gifted on many levels. I’ve referred her to many of my closest friends and family who now also value her counsel immensely.
