Clients' Words
When I first came to Holly, I felt "stuck"....I had been through 12 years of various types of "talk" therapy, both individual and group, and during this time I earned a degree in humanistic psychology....but I couldn't get past certain events and traumas, some that had plagued me since childhood, which continued to have an adverse affect on my daily life and my physical health. I was experiencing weight gain, joint and muscle pain and was always fatigued.
It has been an amazing journey with Holly...within a relatively short period of time (I'm talking a few weeks)...I started to feel a major difference in my body and psyche....I am now emotionally and physically pain free and have more energy. I can also look at the most traumatic events of my life without feeling overwhelmed....Holly's work helped me to put things in perspective and has allowed me to approach my daily life with an energy and positivity that I never thought was possible....her help and guidance have given me hope and clarity...she is a wonderful soul and truly gifted.

I've been working with Holly for only four months, and I am amazed by the changes that have taken place in me. I had suffered for years from severe back pain that I now realize originated with the emotional trauma of past events. The mental triggers are now completely gone, as is the pain. I'm truly comfortable in my skin for the first time.
My work life is much more enjoyable: I am able to express myself with no defensiveness or fear, and am not experiencing the surges of stress-related adrenaline that were negatively affecting my health.
And finally, a lifelong debilitating fear of flying was totally resolved in less than two sessions. On a recent flight that involved delays and mechanical difficulties that would formerly have sent me into my own "tailspin," I noticed that I didn't even notice the flight! Instead, I realized that I was relaxed and enjoying my conversations with fellow passengers. This was a huge shift.
Holly is amazing, and the changes are real and lasting. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if one feels overwhelmed and needs to clear the "static" from one's life. She is absolutely non-judgemental, highly intelligent and deeply intuitive.

After years and years of talk therapy, I still suffered from massive anxiety and great periods of internal self-loathing; while successful, I was underachieving at work; and although I am happily married, had signs of childhood PTSD that were hampering my ability to give and receive freely. When I spoke with Holly, I just knew I could work with her.
Today, after only a few months, I feel light and calm. I am happier than I’ve ever been. I have been able to eliminate my anxiety medications (and I never thought that would be possible). It seems with her all is possible.
I’ve had the most wonderful transformation and am loving every minute of it. I wish this for all my friends and family, and especially for those women like me who struggle to become all we can be. It is the most incredible journey and I thank Holly for holding me along the way. She is brilliant and will be able to help you too.

Holly’s work is wonderful. Emotionally and mentally, it has been beneficial to me on a daily basis, but long term, it has helped me to deeply connect mind, body and spirit.....extremely rewarding. I have recommended Holly to patients of mine, and they have also seen very powerful results.

I first came to Holly because of injuries from a vehicle accident. Within several sessions, I experienced more than 80% reduction in pain and felt my body move more freely than before the accident.
Subsequently, I have continued to see Holly as she has become a mentor to me, guiding me with wisdom and gentleness to explore the biggest obstacles I have had to becoming my best self. I can not say enough about the power and effectiveness of her work. I have referred her to many people, including several of my closest friends, all of whom feel equal respect and appreciation for her work. She is a truly gifted therapist.

I have felt many amazing changes since I began to see Holly a few months ago. She has helped me to recognize and acknowledge the effects of some of the deepest disappointments in my life. Realizing these parts has given me great clarity about why I reacted the way I did in some situations. We have worked with issues around family, father, attachments, drive and the desire to succeed, acceptance, loss, men and love. Holly supports me in "diving deep" and expanding how I am thinking about things. With her trained, professional help, I have reached a truer, more authentic understanding of myself.
Last week, I finally experienced a sense of deep peace; I call it “I could sit in a room with myself” without wanting to get up and run. I have even begun to really enjoy life again! I no longer feel overwhelmed with the choices and distractions that surround me. From previously living in a place that was painful and debilitating, I've come out on the other side, and am rejoicing.

I met Holly through a family referral. I had just moved back to the Bay Area after many years of wanting to get out of LA and was desperately needing a career change. My intention was to live and work in San Francisco.
I am well-educated, and have always been successful and independent, but after 2 years of job hunting and over 700 resumes sent out, I felt like nothing was going right for me. I was living back at home, and getting nowhere, feeling stressed, unhappy, and with a huge sense of urgency about my job and living situation.
I had been aimlessly trying to find a job, any job, as long as it wasn’t what I had been doing before, applying to anything that would get me to San Francisco. This was taking up hours of my days and most of my energy.
In only two sessions with Holly, we really zeroed in on some important factors affecting the success of my efforts (and other things that I didn't even know were going on with me). I felt more calm about everything and started to look at things differently, focusing on what I really wanted.
Just hours after our second session, I canceled an interview (unheard of, for me) as I didn't want to waste any more of my energy on things that were not 100% for me. That same day I was referred to a job that was perfect for me to start a second career, aced the phone interview, and was hired on the spot just four days later at the in-person interview, something they said they never do!
In the sessions with Holly I always felt much calmer, but at times wondered how this could change actual events in my life. Now I know it really does! Using Quantum Energy Psychology, she helped me get much clearer about what I was really feeling internally, clear out my limiting beliefs and change the energy I was putting out. I’m thrilled with the results!

In addition to the alleviation of my migraines, my overall emotional health has improved. I looked forward to each session never knowing what would be revealed, but knowing that it would be information that would help me. I was never disappointed. Her knowledge and skill in healing our mental and emotional pain is impressive and exciting. If you have any doubts about this type of work, just try it out. You will be convinced that this is good for you.

It's a miracle! My mental and physical equilibrium are restored, thanks to your understanding of energy and great sensitivity! I slept like a baby and feel great. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Holly! - S G., Artist
For all of my adult life, I’ve had a low back vulnerability. My sacro-iliac (hip) joints would ache and pinch from provocations such as standing, walking, gardening, lifting, etc. Forget running or jumping. Simple movement was often restricted and painful.
In just one session with Holly, I was able to access and release preverbal fear patterns that had contributed to chronic constipation and pelvic stiffness. I could hardly believe the freedom in my hips, the openness in my abdomen, the flexibility in my spine. It felt as if I had lost twenty pounds. The weight of holding in that area was just gone!
Working with Holly is an adventure in healing. I am continually astounded by the winding path my sessions with her will weave. At every turn, she is there, able to receive my need and address it spectacularly with her perceptive intuitive sense and her seasoned professional skills.

I had spent a lot of time in therapies of all kinds. Talk therapy, group work, coaching. Trying to get my act together. And it was still scattered. I don’t want to downplay the work the therapists and friends and coaches and group partners put in with me. That work set the stage. But I knew was that something wasn’t right yet. Not complete. I was still carrying the energy. The energy that was blaming myself for being bullied. The energy that was blaming myself for being raped.
At the mind level I could say “it wasn’t my fault; I did the best I could." In the group work I could say what had happened, how I had been raped and bullied. I got the comfort of others, amazing emotional support. I knew they didn’t blame me for it. Yet I still carried that blame for myself, that belief that it was my fault. The belief that kept me ashamed of myself. The belief that made me ashamed of surviving. The belief that kept cutting me off; from myself, from others. The belief that said “this far and no further”.
Thanks to the help of those caring others in my life, I kept getting closer. Closer to forgiving myself, closer to pulling the pieces of me into a whole, closer to myself. But I couldn’t find a way around that final barrier.
Then I started Quantum Energy Psychology therapy with Holly. I knew that talking wouldn’t do it and hoped that this somatic energy work could help me find a way. It did.
I could spend pages and pages telling how it happened. I know though that it will be different for every person who does the work. It was magical in one sense and mundane too. Magical in how I felt that day I realized I was healed. The day I finally let go of those old beliefs. Whole, solid, grounded, joyful, alive, open to all the possibilities life has. It was totally amazing. Mundane in that it was the result of good old fashioned work. Work at the energy level, work below the level of the conscious mind. Work that got past my final wall of guilt and shame. No quick fix, no hocus pocus. Mundane in that it was work that took effort and commitment. I’m still not sure what gift Holly has that allowed her to help me find the path. I know that my body and energy felt different each time I saw her. I know that the way I looked at life and others and myself shifted each time. Then one day came the big shift.
I felt totally different, open and free. I was stunned and realized I Am Healed in big letters. Now, being a skeptical person by nature and training, I wasn’t sure I could trust the change. So over the next weeks I kept looking for the flaw. Looking for something that didn’t work. It never came, not even a moment of doubt. The sense of healing was there all the time. I had a friend say “enjoy it while it lasts” and the best thing about her saying that was that I realized it’s permanent. It will last the rest of my life.
