Whether we've got "issues in our tissues" or we're on "spin cycle" in our minds, our nervous systems track when physical and emotional bodies are out of sync.
Holly's body-centered approach allows us to access what talk therapy alone may not reach — honoring both the wisdom of the body and the complexity of the psyche.
Check out Grief Speaks by Diane Zinna — a mentor of Holly's — where you'll find a small piece of Holly's own writing, written in the voice of her beloved dog, Shakti.
It's no secret that our nervous systems and heartbeats link up with our fur babies — that's somatic therapy at its finest. Our animals can teach us so much if we listen. And losing a furry best friend is destabilizing in so many ways.
Part of Holly's practice is dedicated to animal grief therapy and even translating what they're telling us while they're alive. Whether you are parting ways with a horse, pre-grieving an aging pet, or mourning a passing over the rainbow bridge, that grief is real and deserves to be spoken aloud.
