Teaching Presence

"I am convinced that Holly is magical. The perspective she takes on acting technique is unlike anything I've ever tried and allowed me to really tap into my emotional and physical healing. Her teaching is fiercely inclusive and individual, and I love the way she champions artists' values. I really want to continue studies in Alexander Technique thanks to Holly, and I will apply her techniques in my everyday life as well as my performance. I feel like my emotions are much more connected to my body and I understand how and why thanks to her. She also has the most calming presence I have ever been around, and I enjoyed every second."

"I've been working with Holly on theatre monologues and TV/film sides during quarantine. In these strange times of self-taping, Holly has helped me to use the space that I have available to my advantage. Holly's coachings and classes give me tools for a more embodied performance. I feel like I have more agency over my body and my space. I would also recommend Holly's yin yoga class. If you're like me and your mind moves a mile a minute, this class feels so good. I love that we also use our voices in class. It's a great release and just like in her acting classes, Holly has a way of helping me to claim and thrive in my space and my body."

"Working with Holly has been a game changer. As a young opera singer, I've often been told to "drop my walls", but Holly helped me understand that my nervous system creates those walls for a reason. Instead of pushing those walls down and making my nervous system feel even more unsafe, Holly helped me find ways to orient to a space and connect with it and my scene partners. I now can sing with greater connection and honesty. I feel greater freedom in my body, too, both on and off stage. Would absolutely recommend to artists of all disciplines (and even to folks who don't identify as artists!). Thank you Holly!"
