Jillian Holper

After pursuing her first degree in Psychology, Jillian continued her corporate path with a career at a large brokerage firm until some health issues arose that forced her to take some time off. During this time, she experienced some significant healing with the help of Hypnotherapy, Coaching, Body-based therapies, and Nutrition. It became clear that her heart was being called to follow her passion for service to others, and this was the path to fulfill that.

Jillian focused her sights on a 2nd degree in Occupational Studies in Holistic Health Care with a Concentration in Mind-Body Transformational Psychology. This enabled her to study various healing arts and holistic modalities, including Clinical Hypnotherapy, (Advanced) Life Coaching, Holistic Nutrition, Polarity principles, and more. In addition, she soon developed a passion for supporting those with trauma – primarily through Subconscious, Somatic (body and nervous system), Attachment, and Play Therapy approaches. She now holds various certifications in these areas and is registered with accredited associations in each area.

Today, and for the last several years, Jillian has been doing what her soul had always longed for. She feels honored to focus her practice on Somatic/Trauma Healing (SE/DARe/IFS/EFT), Clincial Hypnotherapy, Play Therapy (CCHT/SPT), and Empowerment Life Coaching – from a Trauma-trained and Attachment perspective by assisting and empowering clients to reach their goals.

Jillian takes a whole-brain and body approach that resources and rewires the conscious and subconscious mind by supporting resolution of unprocessed emotions, unmet needs, traumas that create unhelpful thoughts, feelings, behaviors, beliefs (etc.). She further incorporates a deep knowledge of nervous system regulation and attachment techniques to support a more balanced well-being. She strives to make sure her approach is inclusive to all and neurodivergent affirming.

Facilitating and offering various workshops, training, and classes, including a monthly PEER Group (for parents/caregivers) – as well as mentoring options and programs for other practitioners, is something she finds significant meaning in. She is also a published internationally best-selling co-author of the book Inspirations and published blog author. She is an Somatic Experiencing training assistant for all levels and is an approved Student Session provider at all levels and Consultation provider at beginning level. In addition, she is an DARe approved student session provider.

Last, when she is not working or learning, Jillian reports that nothing beats spending time with her family. She says, “They are such an integral part of who I am, both personally and professionally, and I owe so very much to my two sons and an incredible husband. Without their love, support, and grace, none of this would have been fully possible!”
