about Holly
a little about me
I am a Master's Level Licensed Psychotherapist with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, obtaining an additional 12 years of advanced post-graduate training, two decades of clinical experience, and specialized training as a trauma therapist.
In addition to this, I am also a designer, artist, writer, author, publisher, card deck maker, and a multi-passionate business guru.
My unique approach blends my knowledge of psychology with my passion for the metaphysical world, merging Eastern and Western philosophies.
Let’s work together to expand and cultivate your unique gifts so you can share them with the world.

Clinically Trained
I have been working in the psychology and wellness
industry for 20 years.
As a psychotherapist, I know how to create a safe, non-judgmental environment to foster personal growth.
I'm approachable and utilize various psychotherapy techniques to help you navigate your inner critic & challenging emotions.
I am passionate about helping people evolve and grow. Transformation is my currency. If we aren't progressing, we are stagnating.
When you've hit your glass ceiling, I will raise the ceiling.
As a published author and freelance writer, my writing tends to focus on psychology and well-being, sharing insights that facilitate growth and understanding.
I'm dedicated to helping individuals break free from conditioned thinking and false societal beliefs.
What words do you want to weave? i want to support you to bring your books to life.
Words possess magical powers. Let me help you cast positive spells.
Creatively Inclined
Cosmically connected
I use art and mysticism to
heal, inspire, and transform.
Are you ready to expand your portfolio by creating your own deck? Prior art experience is not necessary.
I have been an artist and mystic my entire life. I easily transitioned from someone who read tarot, to someone who made tarot. My first two tarot decks were a huge success and funded on Kickstarter in under 3 hours.
I'm eager to collaborate with artists and professionals to develop their own decks.
Let's create something amazing together, either using your art, or commissioning me to make it for you!
Choose Your Own Adventure:
Publish Your Work
Your words are waiting to meet the world and I want to help you make it happen.
Whether you’re called to write a book, craft a workbook, design a journal, or create a beautiful coloring book, I’ll help you bring your vision from a quiet idea into a printed reality.
With expert support for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Audible, and Kickstarter, we’ll shape your project with heart, clarity, and the kind of care it deserves — so it can find the hands and hearts it was meant for.

Sparkle Your Projects
Your creativity holds worlds of magic — and it deserves to be seen and shared.
Whether you're dreaming of creating a card deck, selling your art, launching your next masterpiece, or building a radiant social media presence, let's shape your vision into something tangible, beautiful, and unforgettable.
I bring heart, strategy, and soul to your project — offering guidance, design support, and publishing expertise to make your work truly sparkle.
Consult And Mentor
You don’t need therapy — you need expert guidance; a discussion, not a diagnosis, support, not stigma.
I help individuals, clinicians and creatives who have questions, decisions, or challenges and want clear, strategic support — not therapy.
Whether you're building a private practice, expanding a group, navigating burnout, or considering a career shift, I offer real-world consulting rooted in clinical expertise, creative experience, and honest mentorship.
Okay, But Why Do You Offer So Many Different Things?
As a neurodivergent brain with ADHD, I am a multi-passionate person. I can imagine nothing worse than spending the remaining days of my life doing the same thing day in, day out.
As a serial entrepreneur, I CRAVE variety. I don't belong in a box. I colour outside the lines. Why be a one-trick pony when you can be a unicorn in technicolor, fighting convention one project at a time.
As a childfree woman, I have the time, energy, and devotion to to birth things other than humans, and then nurture these projects to success.
I've been rocking the boat since I learned to walk.
