‘Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.’
~ e.e. cummings
In the misty haze of the early morning sun in Yellowstone, a little girl trots toward a magical creature – its’ fur shimmering and swaying in the dappled light. She’s entranced by the beauty of the creature, curious to know what it thinks, feels, and how they share a connection in the world.
The MAGICAL CREATURE gazes at her with its’ dog-like face. The girl feels a pure moment of knowing what it must be like to have such raw awareness and self-confidence.
Her parents, less than enthusiastic about their woodland sprite daughters’ choice of friends, quickly scooped her up to cower in the family station wagon as the Grizzly Bear enjoyed their breakfast. Not surprised by her courage or her curiosity, they marveled at this child who refused to be confined. She spent hours watching bugs and clouds, enchanted by the diversity and wholeness of Nature.
As Holly Mitten grew up, she never lost the wonder and sense of kinship that animals and nature brought, but it would be years before she reconnected to her intrinsic curiosity and yearning to know how everyone – people as well as animals – shared their origin and interrelationship.
A highly successful attorney with a well-respected practice, Holly still yearned for the connection she felt with nature. It became increasingly clear to her that practicing law was not the soul-filling life work she was meant to experience. She began a journey into more life and spirit-affirming studies, becoming certified by Martha Beck as a Life Coach in 2011.
Holly opened her own life coaching practice, ‘Your Wisdom, Your Journey’ and works with clients of all backgrounds who are searching for greater meaning in their lives.
This led her to explore healing techniques, such as ELAN and CCT. These methods complemented life coaching so much, they have become an integral part of her work. Clients find genuine self-empowerment much faster, breaking free of the baggage which holds them back from true freedom and experiencing emotional, spiritual and physical healing.
Her close connection to animals has also led her to develop a program of CCT for horses, under the name Pegasus Awakened . Working with horses using non-verbal communication is the thread which allows her to relate in pure joy with the life energy of Earth.
Holly’s life-work; helping her clients develop meaningful, rich lives, has returned her full circle to the little girl who felt kinship with every living thing.
