Holly Bennett RN, BSN
Holly Bennett-Judson, RN, BSN, is a registered nurse with nearly 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, oncology, end-of-life care, and trauma-informed support. Her work is grounded in clinical integrity, ethical care, and respect for the human experience.
Holly’s current focus is on integration support and education, helping individuals reflect on meaningful or intense life experiences and translate insight into everyday life. Her work emphasizes presence, nervous system awareness, and thoughtful self-inquiry through non-clinical coaching and contemplative practices.
Known for her steady presence and clear communication, Holly creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and supported. Her approach is rooted in deep listening and reflection rather than advice or interpretation.
Her background includes immersive study of breath and meditation practices in India, along with years of teaching yoga as an awareness-based practice. She draws from psychology-informed frameworks, contemplative traditions, and somatic awareness to support grounded reflection.
Holly is currently pursuing advanced practice education as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and remains committed to lifelong learning and clear professional boundaries in all aspects of her work.

He is known for his calm presence, integrity, and steady support, helping clients reflect on insight, regulate their nervous system, and translate experience into everyday life.
Steve’s work is informed by extensive personal and professional training. He completed the Hoffman Process, an intensive experiential program focused on identifying and understanding long-standing emotional patterns. This training strengthened his capacity for compassionate listening, emotional awareness, and ethical presence.
Through PSI Seminars, Steve developed practical skills in self-leadership, communication, and personal responsibility, which inform his coaching style and support clients in clarifying values and exercising agency.
He is certified in Being True to You, a values-based coaching model that emphasizes trauma-informed awareness, integration, and alignment between insight and behavior. This training supports Steve’s focus on helping clients make changes that are realistic, sustainable, and grounded in lived experience.
Steve is also engaged with F.I.V.E. (Facilitators of Integrity, Vision, and Ethics), an ethical framework that emphasizes consent, safety, and responsibility in peak experience coaching contexts. His ongoing study reinforces his commitment to clear boundaries and ethical practice.
Earlier in his career, Steve served as a peer support program director working with justice-involved individuals. This experience deeply shaped his understanding of dignity, advocacy, and the importance of meeting people with respect and humanity, regardless of circumstance.
Clients often describe Steve as grounded, steady, and deeply present. His coaching style is supportive rather than directive, attuned to pacing, nervous system capacity, and informed choice. At the heart of his work is a commitment to the full arc of integration, supporting reflection, embodiment, and meaningful change over time.
