Hi! I’m Holly. Holly Pelletier.

 

 

About Background 1.jpg
 

 Dear Holistic Soul,

 
 

I could not be more thrilled you’ve found me (seriously).

Holistically Inspired was birthed out of all things near dear to my own heart. All of my loves, my passions, and my dreams… in short, it has become the amalgamation of all I’ve found has really worked for me in creating a life that is balanced, nourished, and enjoyable.

I’ve tried many things, searched out many different paths, and now I want to share the lifestyle I’ve found to be most healthful for mind, body, soul, and spirit.

You will not find anything here that I do not fully embody in my own life. Go ahead, explore these pages a little more to see the unfolding and developing of what has become way more than just a business to me!

With lots of love and compassion,

+ How It All Began

My own health is what brought me to acupuncture, but it has been seeing the complete transformations in my clients that has kept me intimately interested and connected to this ancient tradition. I am someone who is hard to “hook”. While I have tremendous passion and hunger for many things, I am also that type of person who always wants more. For as long as I can remember, I have strived to keep growing, learning, and expanding.

Gratefully, I know that this field is something I can keep doing just that with, until the end of my time on this sweet planet. It is so extensive, so holistic, so all inclusive that I can honestly say, I will never get bored. I love what I do so much; I truly believe it is the best healing modality out there, and I am beyond passionate about the way of life I’ve chosen.

+ Education

I am a licensed acupuncturist in Maine and Massachusetts. I completed my degree at the New England School of Acupuncture at MCPHS University in Newton, MA, where I studied both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture styles, and Chinese herbal medicine.. Prior to my acupuncture studies, I obtained two degrees: an undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Maine at Farmington (2003), and a Masters degree in Education at the University of New England (2007). In addition to these degrees I also have completed certifications in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I am a 200+ hour certified Vinyasa Yoga instructor.

+ What I Love to Treat

Acupuncture is unique in the sense that it can actually treat an extremely wide range of ailments. It is not an exaggeration to say that acupuncture can treat nearly anything and everything, it has the ability to do so because it works quite simply to balance the body, so any imbalance, in other words, symptom or disease, can be adjusted by redirecting energy and clearing blockages.

I particularly enjoy working with people who are open to a complete integration of body, mind, and spirit and who have an understanding that our health is truly multidimensional. For instance, if our mind is plagued, this may contribute to our knee pain; if we have nightmares this may be linked to our acid reflux.

In short?! I love the mental-emotional stuff. This doesn’t mean I don’t find immense joy in working on shoulders here and there (they are so fun to treat) but my heart lies in the deep, soul work that is so crucial to everyone’s healing journey.

 What does “holistic” really mean?

What does it really mean to take a “holistic” approach to your healing? Holistic is all the rage right now, and for good reason, but allow us to expand on our philosophy of what holistic healing really means to us, and what you can expect if you choose to work deeper with us at Holistically Inspired. 

Primarily, we believe healing needs to happen not only in different areas of your life, but also along different planes of energy. Not only do we need to work on our eating and sleeping habits, but we also need to pay attention to quieting our mind and soothing our spirit.

The benefits you will experience from working on all four of these levels are immense, indescribable really. It is not for the faint of heart, this style of treatment is created for those who are truly ready to shift, heal, grow, and evolve. You will dive head first into your healing and can essentially throw out all of the old metaphorical band aids that you have been using to cover stuff up. Your time for healing is here, there’s no time like the present.

The “physical” is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment with acupuncture. There is a wide held belief that acupuncture is primarily for the treatment of pain, and while it is true that acupuncture is pretty magical in regards to its efficacy for pain conditions, there is a much wider scope of what acupuncture can work with.

The physical body is where we see the symptoms surface that are indicative of what is going on inside--chronic pain lingers or stubborn issues surface again and again. In reality, and in most cases, these imbalances run much deeper than surface level.

Second most common category of ailments people tend to seek out acupuncture for. The “mind” category holds a special place in our hearts, it is one of our favorite things to work with. As a group, we humans are starting to realize more and more how much our mental health actually does affect us. Stress, anxiety, and depression are some of the main causes of disease in Eastern medicine.

The distinction between soul and spirit is one I didn’t necessarily think was too important at first, but as time has gone on, I realize more and more there is a clear difference between the two. The dictionary defines soul as: emotional or intellectual energy or intensity, especially as revealed in a work of art or an artistic performance. When I began working with people on a deeper level over the past few years, I found that even though people do the work on their spirit, sometimes the way that can be expressed or shared with the world can still be lacking or unknown. Working with the soul aspect of the self can encompass a lot of Third Eye and Crown chakra work, in other words spiritual connection, path, journey, and/or purpose.

The least common we see people actually come in for, but really, the root of 99% of pathology. It is rare for someone to come in and say they want to work directly on their Root Chakra, but that is usually the deep level at which we must begin. To again clearly distinguish between soul and spirit, the dictionary defines spirit as: those qualities regarded as forming the definitive or typical elements in the character of a person, nation, or group in the thought and attitudes of a particular period.
