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. A sex aficionado, she provides intimacy coaching to singlets, couples, and poly-amorous peoples via un(Bound) NM. She dishes with humor on all things relationships as co-host of the Shadow of Love podcast and has spread her comedy wings this year to live performances. Creator and author of Orgastronomy™, she guides a savory, erotic journey of the heady relationship between food and sex. She explores fashion, culture, and art as executive producer of Sew Sew Cece, and brings the interpersonal connection between chefs and their craft as executive producer of Colt de Cuisine. 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, working as a show runner on her very own television show, and having her own HBO comedy special.
