About Me
Hey there, I'm Holly (She, her, hers)
Pleasure Therapist
Around the age of 30 I realised that I had not been fully living. My life was constrained by anxiety, external expectations, isolation, unmet needs and unfulfilled dreams.
I had a bathroom floor moment.
I knew that I could not go on living a half life. There had to be more than this.
I began my spiritual journey, using intuition as my guide I charted a course towards an unknown future, but one that I knew was meant for me.
My quest led me to explore a unique blend of wellbeing and psychotherapeutic modalities targeting mind, body and spirit, many of which have deeply influenced my way of being with clients and my way of being in the world.
As a spiritual seeker, I tenaciously sought out therapists, teachers, books and courses to help me to understand myself and the human condition.
My ultimate goal was to develop my capacity for intimacy and
my ability to sustain a loving relationship.
Along the way I learnt the vital importance of self-awareness, and having love and compassion for oneself.
On my journey I found Connection.
With myself. . . with nature. . . with others and with life force energy.
My primary influences are Tantra, Person-Centred Counselling, Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Evolutionary Relating, The Law of Attraction, Angelic support and guidance, Shamanism, Evolutionary Astrology, Crystal Healing and Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS).
I am passionate about providing an inclusive, non-judgmental, warm and accepting space where you can feel safe to further your own healing journey or simply explore what brings you joy.

What Tantra Means to Me:
For my 5th birthday I got a purple turtle, a ‘Keyper’ called Sheldon, This quickly became my favourite toy. I hid my most precious things inside her shell which could be locked and unlocked with a key.
Rather apt really.
Finding Tantra was like finding the key to my inner world, and each time I put the key in the door I wondered what hidden treasures would be revealed to me.

The thread that weaves through all my learning is the question;
How can I support all humans to feel safe to explore what brings them pleasure, to feel more joy and aliveness, and to open more to connection with each other?
