Today we’d like to introduce you to Holly Marie.
Hi Holly, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I grew up being constantly sick. I had horrible digestive issues, extreme depression and over-all body pain. I would experience tonsilitis over and over, too. I tried conventional or allopathic remedies, which failed. I tried alternative therapies such as Chinese herbs, acupuncture and a high dose of probiotics, which definitely helped quite a bit but there was still a major missing piece.
I was desperate to get more healing, and I didn’t know where to turn. One day I was walking to my accountant when I saw a massage and wellness business. I walked in and told the woman at the front desk that I was looking for some kind of healing. She gave me a woman’s card and said, “Go see a shaman.” To be honest, I grew up in Christian household, and I had never even heard of that word before. A shaman? So, I put on my best poker face, took the card and thanked her.
I made an appointment with this ‘shaman’ and was very disappointed. She shook a rattle, burned some sage and pulled some “things” out of my energy field. It seemed like a joke but a few months later I felt the urge to go back and see her.
Is what I didn’t realize is that this work is real and it was working on realms beyond my comprehension. Over a few months, I became better and better! This woman, Dani Burling, then urged me to take her classes and I did. I received more healing and became her assistant for future classes. The work was amazing! I saw people go through such profound healings and revelations that I decided to start my own practice, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, this has not been a turnkey, smooth road. I still struggle today. When you learn the real way of the shaman, you humble yourself. It is not something you call from the roof tops, but more of a subtle act of humility to carry such powerful medicine. It has held me back in promoting myself and is sometimes even a labor of love.
The other downside is that most people only need a few sessions, it is not something you do weekly or even bi-weekly. A session is very powerful and takes time to shift in real time, but it does create profound results. People are also unfamiliar with this work or have had bad experiences with energy work.
Most of my clients find me by word of mouth so I end up doing a lot of remote sessions in other states, which I love. I also love to see people in person. I have accepted that this line of work and being humble may always cause a little struggle for me, but for those who choose to work with me, the sacred container we create is priceless.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Holly Marie Soul Coaching?
I have created a unique style of finding hidden trauma locked away in the subconscious mind and body connection. I help unlock the hidden past by altering my clients state of consciousness (with regression therapy) allowing the energy field to work with the subconscious mind and direct me to the age and event when the trauma occurred. I then help my client release the stuck energy with breath work and guided visualization by what’s called a shamanic journey.
Is what sets me apart from others is my love for inner child work and helping people reclaim their innocence through what is called a soul retrieval process. I also have experienced through my work that while there are demons among us, most people’s demons are self-created. I have literally calmed down extreme paranormal activity by doing only inner child work and releasing negative emotions such as rage, abandonment, loneliness and fear.
I understand that childhood trauma can affect you for a lifetime and it can also be healed or reconciled. While my work does help people manifest, heal their ancestors, understand past lives and help them change false beliefs, and find deeper peace and purpose, the inner child work will always remain close to my heart.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
Oregon City is up and coming, it’s slowly becoming what Portland was years ago. There are many hidden boutiques and businesses coyly tucked away in historical buildings. The city does an amazing job creating community and doing what it can to restore beauty and preserve the past.
I feel our biggest downfall is our small street system with so much new growth. I also would like to see, as a business owner, a better and more inviting parking system. I actually moved my office to a place with free parking because my sessions are 2.5 hours and it was too stressful for my clients and I to keep up with the meter.
