Hello, I’m Holly McClain. I am a Certified Life Coach and Counselor.
A former School Counselor with 20+ years of experience, I am especially equipped to guide teens and young adults to adulthood in a more easeful way. Areas of specialization include high functioning, overwhelmed and anxious teens/young adults.
I support people through the deep experience of grief. They work with me whenever grief emerges, whether it’s days, months, or even years after their loss, OR when they’re struggling with anticipatory grief over a loved one’s approaching end of life. My clients find peace and feel hopeful about their new chapter of life.
I approach coaching from a holistic perspective. I integrate embodiment, emotion, energy and spirituality. When any of these aspects is out of balance there is a ripple effect that reaches all areas of life. Whether its work, relationships, or our self-esteem, finding balance means we can reconnect with our soul’s knowing.
As a tenured professor, I was unhappy for a long time: attached to my academic identity, addicted to work, and regularly experiencing shame-driven anxiety due to imposter syndrome. Not surprising, this cycle led to burnout. I now coach those in soul-crushing careers and help them find lives and careers that nourish them.
