“It’s joy. Her technique is so simple that I can focus on feeling the moment and adjusting as my body needs, so empowering that even I with my demonstrably poor working memory can remember what to do, so nourishing every time that I want to do it again. Often. Plus, I keep gaining insights and making spiritual breakthroughs while doing Holly’s exercises and I keep finding better flow after doing the exercises, so it’s become my meditation form of choice and a valuable addition to my daily religious devotions”.

“The A.R.T. Intensive had quite instant changes to my system and it has made a huge difference to my daily life, especially when it comes to my digestive system and ability to register that I’m getting cold or warm rather than just realising at a very late stage. No more accidents and stress about being away from a restroom, and I can put something on before my core temperature has lowered to such a degree that it’s difficult to regain any warmth when the ambient temperature isn’t above 25-26 degrees even when resorting to eating or drinking something warm, putting on warm clothing, and exercise rigorously. Being regular pretty much all the time for the first time at the age of 59 isn’t something one forgets & stops thinking about. The Intensive was huge for me, it felt like peace. Even after things regressed I still had connections to my body and I think I coped better with the challenges than I would have”.

“3 years on from working with Holly – I could write a book on the transformation my son and therefore our family have had since we started with Holly! We had a boy who would flinch or cry out if you touched his shoulders, reverse into you as stiff as a board if you asked for a hug, huge sensitivity to sounds/ overstimulation and I realise now the time, effort and stress that went into maintaining life in general. This feels like a lifetime ago…We’ve since moved overseas, everything is constantly new and he takes it in his stride, all of the things we thought he’d missed learning when the other kids were socially zooming ahead, he’s now added to his bag of skills. He can joke ( yes even sarcasm!), I get hugs all the time ( his request) and best of all he is so happy and confident in his life and friends!

 The brilliance of Holly’s work is it empowers the person. They can control and do the work themselves to feel safe and secure in their own bodies. It is a very slow, gentle process, wonderful and beautifully not set around specific outputs, but listening and working with our daughter at a pace that is best for her, giving her body time to adjust to a new level of comfort in her own body.

“After several years of searching for the Holy Grail – somatics trauma therapy through the neurodivergent lens – I was nervously excited to discover Holly’s practice earlier this year. Holly guided me through a week-long intensive, which fundamentally shifted both baselines and perspectives, and drastically improved my immediate wellbeing and longer-term self-belief. The experience has been quite literally life changing and I haven’t stopped praising both somatics practice and Holly ever since! I’m very much looking forward to starting her new A.R.T Express Course so that I can learn even more about the science behind the therapy, and be able to actually share its benefits with others, instead of just raving about them! Holly is an absolute delight to work with, having the envious ability to hold a calming space for challenging moments, while also sharing the more complicated science with a side order of laughter. I cannot recommend her more.”
