A little about me
Hi I’m Hollie.
spaceholder. artist. mother.
I currently live nestled between the mountains and sea in Northern Ireland (for now) with my husband and two free-spirited daughters.
We unschool, wander often, and follow the quiet pull of spontaneous adventure when it calls. Not ones for rules or “shoulds,” we aim to live instead from the wisdom and wildness of our hearts - with a dash of irreverence and a healthy dose of “Fuck it! What’s the worst that could happen?” thrown in for good measure. Honestly? It almost always works out - and makes for some interesting stories along the way.
We spent most of 2023 and 2024 travelling - across Asia, Europe and the UK before settling into a slower pace of life in a new country, on the coast. For us, creativity isn’t just about self-expression or what we make and share with the world - it’s in how we live. It’s in our resilience and capacity to meet life as it comes, especially when it catches us off guard.
A lifelong singer, writer and questioner of, well, just about everything! I’ve been crafting songs, poetry and journal entries scribbled in the margins of my life since I was a little girl. I sing to feel and remember. I write to understand myself and the world a little better. And the questions? I’m endlessly curious - always listening for what’s not being said as well as what is.
My fierce support and advocacy for girls and women started young. I noticed early on the double standards. The subtle ways we’re taught to stay silent, shrink and suppress. To doubt our worth. Our voice. Our power. The fire within me refused to stay quiet. Long before I had the language for it, I knew I was here to stand with women in our collective liberation.
For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside women through life, birth, becoming and the sacred thresholds in between - offering spaces and sanctuaries to pause, remember and return to the sovereignty woven into our bones.
Over the years, and through all of life’s adventures I’m learning that home, for me, is not a place, but a turning inward - to my body, my truth, my authenticity and the many practices that support me. It is the reclamation, embodiment and integration of the parts of myself I’ve hidden, abandoned, forgotten or simply left behind that has brought me back to myself again and again.
This is the heart and foundation of my own healing journey and practice in this wild dance of life. It is the thread that runs through all of my work: holding space for other brave-hearted souls who, too, feel the gentle nudge or wild call to return. It is an honour, a blessing and another beautiful reminder that we were never meant to do it alone.
