I started my journey with acupuncture when my daughter was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and Panic Disorder at age 9. I had concerns about medicating her at such a young age, wondering what it would do to her growth and development, not only physically but primarily emotionally. I worried that, if medicated, she wouldn’t find a way to understand her anxiety nor learn tools to help manage it. We tried a few different approaches but everything seemed to exasperate her anxiety rather than make it better. A friend recommended acupuncture. She knew an acupuncturist who traveled to a pediatric clinic once a month to give kids treatments for anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, etc. I thought, acupuncture? Sure, why not!
Acupuncture literally changed my daughter’s life (and mine!) Regular acupuncture treatments coupled with changes in her diet, monitored by a naturopathic doctor, transformed my daughter from a frightened, terrified, sleepless little girl to happy, joyful, rested and relaxed young lady. She learned tools and techniques to help manage anxiety pop ups at home, but perhaps most importantly, she learned what triggered the anxiety and panic, how it felt in her body and how to slowly walk her way back to a state of relaxation and calmness.
Those lessons would prove invaluable for both us - for my daughter, as she grew, matured, went away to college, completed college, traveled the world and is now adulting her own way through life as an entrepreneur. For me, as I faced a whole decade of new physical challenges and a level of pain, I never knew was possible. What I learned from my daughter was that its OK to feel…to understand what’s going on in your body. Don’t fear it. Instead, embrace it, visit with it, dissect it, make a connection to it and then…slowly, walk your way back to a state of relaxation and calmness and then forward into wellness. This is the principle I have embraced in my body, my life, in my interactions with others and in my practice.
Acupuncture had played such an integral role in helping my daughter and I find our way back to wellness that I thought, “This is it - this is what I want to do.” I went back to school, full time, at the age of 45, and received my Master of Acupuncture Degree. I truly cannot use enough words to genuinely describe how I feel about the endless wonders and healing properties of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Make no mistake, Acupuncture is medicine, just not in the form we are used to seeing in Western culture. I would love the opportunity to explore the challenges you face in your life. Let’s take a look at them, dissect them, understand them, and then together, let’s find a way to slowly walk into a new journey of healing and wellness together.

I believe self-acceptance is the key to positive change. There are times in our lives that can become overwhelming and difficult, but I feel we all have the capacity to improve ourselves and achieve happiness and balance.
I am a licensed psychotherapist that has been serving the South Shore community for over 15 years. I am also approved and certified by the Jikiden Reiki Institute in Kyoto, Japan. Through my own journey, I have found that talk therapy and energy work can complement each other and be an invaluable tool. For this reason, I began a combined practice to share this experience in the hope of helping others through the training I have received.
The mind and the body are powerful allies. The integration of Reiki and psychotherapy focuses on a holistic approach, one that considers the “whole” person, creating a mind-body wellness that epitomizes balance.
With our busy lives, we sometimes forget to take a moment for ourselves. This leads to living in a constant state of chaos and stress.
How you think can affect how you feel, and how you feel can affect how you think.
Now more than ever, physical and mental self-care is paramount for our wellness.

HJ Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of soft tissues to promote physical and mental well-being, targeting specific issues like chronic pain, stress, and anxiety, rather than just full-body relaxation.
While addressing specific issues, therapeutic massage considers the body as a whole, recognizing that physical and mental health are connected.
A therapist focuses on areas of pain, tension, or injury, using a combination of various techniques. This hands-on therapy helps to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility, and calm the nervous system, leading to benefits such as pain relief, better sleep, improved mood, and faster recovery from physical injuries.
The manipulation of soft tissues stimulates sensory receptors, leading to increased blood flow, reduced heart rate, and a calming effect on the body's stress response.
With over 20 years of experience, Holly specializes in deep tissue and injury care massage. Start feeling better now! Take control of your pain; call Holly to book your therapeutic massage today!
