ABOUT ME

​

​

I'm on the journey towards greater ease, purpose, fulfilment and freedom. I see you want this too. Shall we travel together?

​

I've learned how the brightest of ambitions can be scuppered by a lack of confidence or self-worth.

 

I know having great ideas and a passion for change can be directionless and wasted without a clear plan.

 

That’s why my services combine my strategy skills with coaching and money mentoring to help you leverage your strengths, take control, and boost your impact in the world.

Hi I'm Holly

I work with individuals and organisations who want to do great things, but need a little space and support to make it happen. I live in the most beautiful part of the UK (Yorkshire, obviously!) with my husband Mike and together we love to explore near and far. I'm often found on a tennis court, searching for flights, or dreaming about schnitzels.

MY STORY

Before 2021 I'd always had employed roles. My first Saturday job was in sales in a high street jewellers. I worked bars and at weddings. And even had a stint as a film critic on my local radio (hello free cinema tickets!).

 

Through my career, I've managed the use of one the largest brands on the globe, headed up Communications and Marketing for private, public, and charity sector organisations, spoken at international conferences, and project managed national events.

 

I've also spent over a decade working in strategic health and care management roles, helping teams collaborate around a shared purpose to make best use of resources and improve outcomes for people. I've gathered skills and know-how from all over! 

 

Amidst all of this, I pursued other ways to satisfy my curious mind:

  • I extended breaks between jobs to visit new places

  • I took a sabbatical to travel the world for 6 months

  • I completed qualifications in reflexology, reiki, and Leadership Coaching

  • I read an awful lot of books (ask me what my nose is currently stuck into)

 

I knew I had to continue exploring deeply, learning with interest, and be in control of what I do with my life.

So by 2021, I was working with dedicated people on interesting healthcare projects. But I also felt limited and less than fulfilled.

 

I found dealing with ill-ness rather than promoting well-ness all too frustrating.

 

I wanted to know I'd helped people, not just feel like a cog in a massive machine.

 

Although I wanted to develop, I felt held back.

​

I had to admit to myself that I wanted more, I wanted better. And that I was responsible for getting it!

 

I resigned. Now I know this approach is not for everyone, but it was right for me. I was ready for the new adventure and to go after my 'more'.

 

This meant really figuring out what's important to me, what I'm good at, what I want my lifestyle to be, and to design what I do around all of this. It also meant beginning to break free from the conditions we are told a career, business, or life has to look like. I used all of my skills, techniques, and tools to help me but I'm telling you, even with all these resources, it's near impossible to do on your own.

My own journey has fired me up to help you do life on your terms - to go after your 'more'

​

Now I'm self-employed, I'm free to bring all my skills and experiences to guide individuals and organisations towards a more joyful present and a clearer future - in ways that work best for you, for those you serve, and for those around you.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MONEY

Amidst a global pandemic, I took another journey out of my comfort zone and leapt into self-employment. I left my safe, public-sector job that reliably deposited a decent sum into my bank account every month and was quickly baffled. I had questions...

 

  • Why weren't people talking openly about money?

  • Why did I have money in the bank but was acting like I had nothing?

  • Why was it excruciating to negotiate my fees?

  • And who could help me figure all this stuff out??

 

Then I realised. I was face-to-face with my own money mountains. 

​

We all have money fears and challenges AND we have the choice to free ourselves from the ways they hold us back.

​​

Working on my money mindset has been crucial to establishing and growing my business with more ease and less guilt.

​

Knowing my Money Archetypes has lifted the confusion and put me firmly back in control.

​

These significant shifts I experienced for myself led me to train as a money mentor so I can support others too - to discover their own Archetypes, rewire their relationship with money, and pursue the life they deserve. 

 

Because I believe one of the best ways to make a positive impact in this world is to see more money in the hands of more people driven to do great things

I CREATED MOON & MOUNTAIN SO YOU TOO CAN JOURNEY TOWARDS EASE, PURPOSE, FULLFULMENT, AND FREEDOM. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!

WHY 'MOON & MOUNTAIN'??

Back in 2019, I was half way through a six-month trip all over the world with Mike. I was in Bali having some much needed r and r after hiking throughout New Zealand. I had been reading about lunar cycles, their affects and benefits.

It was one of those totally clear evenings, humid and warm, very quiet and well after sundown. In a state of complete contentment (and some smugness) I was reflecting on the many mountains I had just climbed.

How utterly impossible some of them had seemed, but I somehow managed it anyway.

I thought about which other mountains I wanted to take on, both physically and metaphorically. And whether I could consciously use the waxing and waning of the moon for strength or a prompt to rest.

I said to myself: "I'm going to call my business moon and mountain".

I didn't even have a business. I didn't even realise I wanted one or would have one only two years later.

But as I more relentlessly listened to my intuition, I saw how I was here to use all my skills to help others determine the mountains they want to conquer and to remind them that sometimes all it takes is to put one foot in front of the other.

This is what Moon & Mountain Collaborations is all about.
