Forever a Yinzer daughter, Holly currently calls the high desert of New Mexico home with her family and dogs. Drawing on personal history and experience, Holly writes unabashedly about feminism, women, sex, parenting, grief, trauma, abuse, body image and relationships with poignancy and humor.

An intimacy aficionado, she provides education and  coaching to singlets, couples, and poly-amorous folk via The Holding Presence LLC. She dishes with humor on all things relationships as co-host of the Shadow of Love podcast and has spread her comedy wings to live performances. Creator and author of Orgastronomy™, she guides a savory, erotic journey of the heady relationship between food and sex.

Creator and owner of manIcure productions LLC, Holly has served as executive producer of Sew Sew Cece, a web series exploring fashion, culture, and art; and  Colt de Cuisine,  a web series that bridges the interpersonal connection between chefs and their craft.

In her precious spare time, she is a travel fiend, dedicated foodie, a food truck enthusiast, and haunted adventurer who loves things that go bump in the night.

Holly dreams of living abroad as a gypsy, swimming with Great White Sharks, and working as a show runner on her very own television show.
