Holly Fowles-Pazdro
Holistic Practioner
Holly is a Mindset & Wellness coach, sound healer and facial therapist. She believes in focusing on the healing and therapy from the inside out. Our body works as one and so often people separate the outside from the in, without realising that the two are inextricably linked.
Combining the medical and spiritual worlds together has always been important to her in creating the ULTIMATE experience. Through the use of Himalayan and crystal bowls, the frequencies tap into your parasympathetic nervous system altering your state of consciousness to experience deep meditation, whilst connecting you to a theta brain wave frequency sending you into a deep meditative state of mind. She will help you heal mentally, physically and spiritually through her expertise of various wellness modalities, transporting you to a calmer more grounded version of yourself.
