J	J W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had always been curious about Expressive Art Therapy but was slightly intimidated by the process. I had a lot of misconceptions based on what I've seen in the media. But Holly was very helpful about answering questions about the process, and that made me feel at ease, that she was there to support me and make me feel comfortable. Wow... Was I ever blown away by how effortlessly the session seemed to flow. Holly seemed very skilled and in tune to me/our session the whole time. At the end of the session, I felt very relieved and relaxed - I didn't even realize I had been holding so much tension! All in all, I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. This modality of therapy is really good at touching on accessing places that traditional talk therapy might not be able to reach.
C	Chin Chi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Holly was great to work with - she showed a lot of warmth and passion for what she does. It was fun getting to work together through expressive arts therapy. She has also demonstrated lots of knowledge in this area whilst showing compassion and respect.
J	Jeremiah A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What an exceptional experience. Despite the excellent communication prior to the session, I felt like I was going in a little blind and very vulnerable based on my own insecurities. Taking part in a group-based arts therapy session at a time of enormous change in my life was definitely scary for me. Upon entering the space, I found myself confronting my anxieties with new groups, new people and the unknown at close quarters. Throughout the evening, I began to dominate my fears with the support and openness of the people around me. Not only did Holly create a space where we could feel natural, but when Holly addressed the group it felt like a one on one just as well. I was feeling listened to and child-like. I found myself exploring my latest life stress' in no time with a group of complete strangers and paint. I hadn't painted since I was a kid. I hadn't acted or written poetry for others this way since high school. Holly is a sweet soul. This is not just their practice, it's seems like a lifestyle for them and I couldn't have asked for a stronger guiding presence as I explore the most challenging parts of myself.
L	Lara Marchionni on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I loved every minute of Holly`s vision board workshop. It was engaging, very well structured, with valuable activities and resources. Also, I really appreciated Holly`s gentleness and her ability to creare a safe and vibrant space. I would definitely recommend her workshop. I was able to create a vision board that truly speaks to me. Thank you Holly.
T	Tracey Gramm on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I attended an Introduction to Expressive Arts Therapy workshop with Holly Keen Goldes at Unity Yoga recently and was so impressed by her professionalism, enthusiasm and expertise. She is so very gentle in her approach and provides a safe space for deep healing and therapeutic work. The exercises were designed to move us internally into the work and allow the unconscious to rise to the surface - as a result, I learned so much about my current emotional and mental state, allowing new realizations and awareness to come forward. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone seeking not only a fun time but an opportunity to grow and blossom.
E	Emilie Yin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Holly's group workshop was so much fun! Her calm focus fosters an inviting space to explore creatively and open up. Being in a group dynamic was an empowering and supportive experience. I would highly recommend Holly's Expressive Arts Therapy!
L	Liina Koivula on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Holly creates a safe and compassionate environment for self-expression and discovery. I participated in her very fairly priced Expressive Arts Group Therapy workshop, with others who were willing to be open, to follow the process, and to dive deep. Holly’s playful demeanor prevents the awkwardness of ice-breaking exercises but never undermines the therapeutic focus of this work. She includes a pronoun check-in, which helps to create a safer space for queer participants.
R	Rozalyn Hardy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Holly is an amazing therapist. She made me feel welcome and comfortable. We explored a variety of artist mediums, including painting and body movement. The body movement in particular was great. It is a testament to her skill that she was able to make me feel so comfortable while engaging in activities and therapy styles that were totally new to me. My experience was beneficial and I wholeheartedly recommend Holly to anyone looking to get to the root cause of an issue and feel some relief right away!
