Client testimonials

"Holly sounded like someone I wanted to partner with, she seems to be a good fit just from the 15 min consultation."
- Zencare client February 2024
"While I couldn’t see Holly for insurance reasons, she kindly reverted me to several other practitioners, one of whom is a good fit for my needs and insurance. Holly went the extra mile for a person who wasn’t even her client."
