Listen "What Opens When We Stop Trying to “Fix” Ourselves? A Conversation w/ Holly Lowery-Davis"
Episode Synopsis
What does it mean to be with yourself so fully that it opens a door to something greater? In this final guest episode of Season One, I share a deeply personal and expansive conversation with my somatic coach, Holly Lowery-Davis. Together, we explore how cultivating a relationship with the Self — through the body, through presence, through emotion — can become the very pathway back to something beyond us: Spirit, Nature, Meaning, Mystery. Holly shares the living question at the heart of her work: How do we honor the stories of our pain without becoming them — and what becomes possible when we do? This is a tender invitation into the slow, sacred work of becoming — with ourselves, and with something greater.Holly Lowery-Davis is a certified somatic practitioner, group facilitator and educator with 7+ years of professional experience in the mental health sector. Holly offers body oriented one-on-one support to help clients to process their feelings more fully, gently heal unresolved trauma and chronic stress responses, learn to support their nervous system, and develop more presence, agency and consciousness. Prior to moving into private practice, Holly spent 6 years working for Ophelia's Place, an eating disorder non-profit, where she oversaw the development and implementation of educational and community support programming. It was this work with the eating disorder community made it clear how critical it is to bring an embodied framework to healing, and ultimately led Holly to re-certifying as a somatic practitioner. Holly has worked with dozens of 1:1 clients, held over 150 support groups, and led numerous professional presentations and workshops to both clinical providers and individuals interested in mental health, the nervous system, eating disorders and embodied healing.Connect with Holly:Holly’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/hollylowerydavis/ Holly’s Podcast: https://somaticcoaching.substack.com/podcast Holly’s Website / 1:1 Somatic Support: https://www.somacoachholly.com/ Holly’s Free Resource | Feel Your Feelings Toolkit: https://www.somacoachholly.com/feelings-toolkit Ready to take these conversations deeper?Share Your Voice — Leave a voice message with a question you’re living into: https://www.speakpipe.com/LivingTheQuestionsBook a 1:1 Conversation Session — Like your own personal episode, these sessions are a space to live your question through thoughtful conversation: https://www.ckoesterinspired.com/conversation-sessions✨ Enjoyed the episode?
