Do you have creative peace?

I know I sure didn't. In fact, despite being born a baby mystic with peace to spare, I ended up diving into a 30 plus year writing/producing career as if it were a race to an unreachable finish line, that could only be fueled by angst. Thankfully I woke up and found a more peaceful way, one that blew my creativity and joy wide open. And now I consider it my mission to use all my hard earned wisdom, compassion and spidey senses to help other creatives find their peace inside the process, too. The side effects are fantastic!

What kind of support might you need?

Is it Time For Some
Creative Recovery?

Our newest program, The Path To Creative Peace, is a year long balm for the creative soul that is beneficial for newbies and professionals alike, or anyone who longs to heal the connection to their creativity, liberate their truest creative voice and adopt a lifestyle they can settle into for the long haul. This program features a combo of guided journal prompts, virtual community check ins, daily practice co-writing calls and quarterly 1/2 day workshops. Enrollment opens January 2026 for a February start.

A Step by Step Story Discovery Process?

The biggest mistake I see writer's make is that they try to write the story, before they truly know the story. This works about as well as trying to brush a tangle out of long hair by starting at the top. It works fine for awhile and then slowly but surely you end up tangling it even worse. That's why I created a prompts driven writing program that puts the emphasis on journaling your way through the story discovery process, asking you all the right questions, in just to right order, encouraging you to keep on circling, until you can tell it's time to start writing your pages. You'll know because it will suddenly feel more like you're about to tell a tale based on memory. Trust me this method will save you so much revision heart break. This program comes w/ the full Loving The Process curriculum, monthly group check-ins, daily practice co-writing calls and inspiring community events.  Sign up now!

Holly's Heart of The Story Intensive took me from having lost the thread and motivation to write the book I wanted to write to enthusiasm, clarity and a whole new angle. Her ability to make me feel safe enough to explore new areas and depths is profound. I think she’s a writing witch! 

Noelle DeAtley, NC

"Everyone told me to sit down and write my story. Never would I ever want to do anything anyone ever told me to do. Holly is the first coach who did not tell me to sit down. She only asked me to show up. I took the leap. I showed up. The amount of creativity that has poured out of me so willingly now is immeasurable. I still do not have to sit down. I run to show up for me and the endless creativity I have still inside. Take the leap. I promise you will fly.”

Nicole Ricks, FL

“Holly’s support of me is beyond anything I have had in my life.  She doesn’t rush me. Doesn't make me feel guilty. She gives me permission to stumble and find my way creatively, without judgment. There are only a couple of things I need in my life right now, and this class with her is one of them.”
