At age 34, Holly, a successful architect, saw the perfect world she'd created to conceal her flaws come crashing down. From this low point, she vowed to do better and spent the next twenty years making good on that vow. Embarking on a transformative journey, she explored spirituality, neuroscience, and psychology, and took a deep dive into Buddhist practices. Across the country, Holly read books, listened to teachings, and attended retreats, soaking up whatever guidance came her way. Her quest would evolve into the creation of the P.E.R.L.O.V.E. formula – an effective and transformational set of mindfulness and meditation practices based on the teachings and gurus she encountered. She now shares this wisdom with others.
Holly has spoken at Yale University and Southern Louisiana University, delivering impactful talks on mindfulness, agency, and mental clarity.
