“Holly has a calm and accepting nature.  Before starting coaching sessions, I felt scattered because I have a lot of balls in the air and am dealing with an empty nest.  Holly’s insights have helped me to get to a better place because she is supportive and intuitive, with a gentle nature that I like.  She has a great way of helping you to become aware of your challenges but gives you gentle support along the way.  I was looking to get more motivated and to have more action steps, and as a result of working with Holly, I’ve been able to finish many of my business marketing materials and I have also turned my daughter’s room into an office.  I feel that once you connect with her, you have a trusted and non-judgmental advocate.  I always feel like I can go to her with anything.  It has made my life easier because I have the comfort of support.  The beauty of coaching is that the answers come from within.  Only you know what is best for you.  An unexpected benefit of working with a coach were the insights of someone else to pull out my strengths.”  - Laura Jacobson

“If you are looking for a coach with a combination of life experience, soft gentile courage, and patience, then Holly is the person worth working with.  She is a great advocate, partner, and is genuinely invested in supporting me. In my sessions with Holly, I am working on aligning my values to a life and career that is fulfilling and purposeful.  She gives me plenty of time to openly share in a safe container.  I feel heard and welcomed as I am.” – E. Torres 

“If you are considering coaching with Holly, I say, ABSOLUTELY GO FOR IT!  It isn’t always easy, but the best things in life aren’t.  It’s definitely worth getting to know yourself better and to learn ways to make positive changes in your life.  If I had to use one word to describe my experience with Holly, it would be relief.  It is very helpful to have someone trustworthy to talk with and talking with the right person helps you to discover the answers you couldn’t find on your own.  Holly is very easy to work with in person and over the phone.  She really worked with my schedule, which can be busy at times.  Holly is empathetic, compassionate, easy to talk with and friendly.  I believe everyone needs help navigating life from time to time.  I also feel that self-improvement should be a lifelong pursuit.  My life wasn’t bad, and I wasn’t in a bad place, but I did want to improve a few things such as my social anxiety and interpersonal dynamics.  Because of my coaching time with Holly, I have been attending more social events, and I have learned the importance of boundaries in a variety of situations.  I have a healthy relationship with myself now and I am finding ways to get out and meet new people.  Overall, I feel mentally and emotionally like I am in a healthier place.  I wasn’t expecting to laugh as much as we did during sessions, which was nice.  I felt very at ease with Holly.  I recommend coaching for the simple reason that I want people to be happy and to live their best lives.” – Heidi N.  

“Working with Holly was the biggest selling point for me.  I know her to be kind, genuine, and super caring.  I know I can trust her.  I was definitely less aware of my core beliefs and values before I started receiving coaching.  Not having that awareness meant that I didn’t know how to prioritize my values.  My life has been positively impacted by my new self-awareness.  I am being more kind to myself, which is a work in progress.  Becoming more aware of the things that are important to me, along with how to identify values and priorities, which has always been a challenge for me, have been unexpected benefits of the coaching process.  Holly’s coaching stands out because she is genuine.  She takes the time to listen and help you work through struggles.  She offers a virtual shoulder when the tears come, and she provides support through the sessions as we work together.  She is caring, compassionate, easy to work with and easy to open up to.  Something that I have been able to achieve since receiving coaching with Holly is that I am not as scared to say “no.”  As a people pleaser, I absolutely say “yes,” more often than not.  I have been more firm with my boundaries when I get overloaded.  The main reason I would recommend coaching would be to help others with identifying values and boundaries within themselves in order to lead less stressful lives.  The one word I would choose to describe my experience with Holly is awareness.  I definitely wasn’t focused on what was important to me.  I am more aware of what is important and what my values are.  Knowing what they are allows me to remember what I need to focus on while I move through day-to-day experiences.  This also helps me to set boundaries and protect myself from being overwhelmed and overstimulated, most of the time.  My favorite feature of Holly’s coaching is that I have met with her online which has made it easy to schedule coaching sessions while juggling work.  It isn’t always easy to connect online with people.  It can feel like there is a disconnect, like a personal touch is missing.  I have never experienced this with Holly.  She is easy to connect with.”  – Mckenzie G.  

“A solid 10! Anyone would be lucky to work with Holly and will undoubtedly come out of her coaching better than they were when they started, no matter what challenges they’re facing.  I wasn’t focused on solving a specific problem, but I knew that when I coached with Holly, I could comfortably talk about anything on my mind. I always felt assured that she would provide a non-judgmental, safe space to work through whatever issues I was facing.  Holly is an exceptional listener. She gives me the time and space to process my thoughts thoroughly before asking insightful questions or offering clarifications. She helped me narrow down everything that was happening in my life, allowing us to get to the heart of each matter.  Holly is incredibly intuitive and compassionate, especially when it comes to trauma-related issues. She helped me understand that many of my reactions—those I had once thought of as irrational or guilty—were rooted in past experiences, not the present situation. Through her guidance, I learned about the power of triggers and how to manage them more effectively.  Since working with Holly, I’ve gained better control over my emotions, which once felt like overreactions. I now feel more equipped to manage overwhelming emotions when triggering situations arise.  If you find the right coach and are committed to the process, coaching can be life-changing. It helps you find the answers within yourself because, ultimately, you know yourself better than anyone. A great coach brings those insights to the surface. Once your paradigms shift, there’s no going back to the way things were before you began coaching.  I would highly recommend coaching with Holly to anyone dealing with past trauma who is ready to move forward in life. Holly is a tremendous support for those looking to overcome unhelpful behaviors, thought patterns, and reactions that stem from trauma. She helps you step into your power and is a living example of that transformation herself.  I felt completely safe with her, knowing that I could discuss anything without fear of judgment or intimidation.  I discovered new things about myself that I thought I had already explored. Holly’s deep knowledge and wide range of experiences helped me understand not just myself, but also other areas of life that influence me.” – Melissa Mello
