Holiday Facilitators: Julia Hollenbery

Julia Paulette Hollenbery is a fun and engaging teacher and author of the highly recommended book, 'The Healing Power of Pleasure: Seven Medicines for Rediscovering the Innate Joy of Being'. She's currently writing her second book, 'Trust Yourself' and teaches for Alternatives, MindBodySpirit, ConsciousCafe, The Sexuality Festival, and other wellbeing organisations. She loves to share her love of the mystery, real sensual relationships and the life of the body.

Julia is passionate about helping people embrace the joy of life, by tuning into the wisdom of their own body. As a healer, she draws on her formal qualifications, personal journey, and knowledge gained working with clients. She blends Grinberg Bodywork, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Constellations with her expertise in a wide range of spiritual traditions including Sufism, Shamanism, Tantra, Kabbalah, Gurdjieff work and Inquiry. 

Julia’s unique capacity is to see people in a way they have probably never been seen before, profoundly with acceptance and love. She brings to every interaction an extraordinary quality of attunement and a deep, innate wisdom for practical healing and wholeness. She guides people to envision and embody their own unique potential.

She lives in London with her boyfriend and her teenage daughter. She loves to dance wildly, kickbox and spend time on the beach.

What people say about Julia and her courses:

- "A rare opportunity to more fully explore how I put limits upon my ability to explore giving and receiving pleasure. A very worthwhile experiential course".

- "I’ve gained pleasureable intimacy and relationship with myself. De-stressed my relationship with others".

- "I’ve enjoyed the range of embodied practices, and working with others in the group. It’s been at the right pace to allow the exercises to begin to integrate. I’m feeling more embodied and look forward to taking away what I’ve learnt into my life - with a focus on more embodied joy and pleasure. Thank you".

- "From the start I felt a sense of complete safety and calmness in the space - that stayed with me through out the entire session. I feel grateful to have connected with myself through the sensation/meditative/communication/movement exercises. I feel empowered to continue practicing with these new tools. Thank you Julia!"
