About Me

My work is centered around helping people feel more at ease, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I didn’t take a traditional path to get here. My background weaves together years of hands-on clinical training with a long-standing interest in intuition, energy, and the deeper layers of what people carry.

I was raised with a strong faith-based foundation, but from a young age I felt drawn to spiritual topics and had intuitive experiences I didn’t fully understand. For a long time, I set that part of myself aside. It wasn’t until my early 20s, after losing my dad to cancer, that I felt a shift. During that time, I began exploring those abilities more intentionally, starting with mediumship training and offering readings.

What started as curiosity quickly turned into thousands of sessions helping people find clarity, comfort, and connection. Through continued study and real client experience, I developed a strong ability to hold space for people during uncertain or emotionally heavy times.

For those looking for relief from pain, here's my story..... After getting massages for about a year now from Holly Joy...

If you have been following my story on caring for my late wife, I found Holly Joy about a year ago to resolve the pain in my arms and back. With my wife in hospices care at home required me to doing lots of lifting of her in and out of her chair, bed etc. This was a 24/7 job for nearly two years. Thought I was up to the job even being 75 years old. Well I was but suffered a little.

Looking for resolution in my pain I did a search on Google and found Holly Joy just the other side of Kalkaska. Having just bought a new car it gave me some seat time to get enjoy my new car.

On Holly's website, you have the option to choose the time and date of the session. Then you choose the type of treatment. i.e. Therapeutic, relaxation, lymphatic drainage or intuitive infusion etc. Then you can choose the length of the massage and add foot and scalp treatments. Then you have options of the oils that she will use. What more could you ask for. You will rise after the end of your session completely refreshed.

Now after a year of having a session every other week the pains I had in my upper torso have completed subsided. What a relief.

Give it a try. You have to start somewhere. It worked for me. Good luck.

Holly is a soft spoken lady that is all business. Thank you Holly and I'm looking forward to my next session. Gerry

I found Holly Joy massage as it is a convenient location for me but when I went to Holly I was blown away by her massage. She is awesome and I feel so relaxed when I leave. My last therapist talked thru the massage and I did not feel the stress reduction that I feel when I go to Holly. She uses different techniques depending on where my tender spots are. I highly recommend her!!!

I highly recommend this place. The environment is beautiful, calm, and very welcoming. The service is excellent and always on time. The professional truly knows what she is doing and makes you feel confident in her work. After only two lymphatic drainage sessions, I already noticed a significant improvement in my post-surgery swelling and fibrosis. I will definitely continue coming here. I have become a loyal client.

I have been getting psychic readings for 30 years. Holly is a very authentic reader. She was sensitive to my feelings, yet not afraid to tell me the truth. I was not hesitant to discuss sensitive issues with her. I look forward to making another appointment with her. She is very gifted.

It was very interesting to hear what Holly had to say, we enjoyed hearing what some of our deceased relatives had to say about the progress my sister and I have made after our loved one’s departure and we are doing okay. We are pleased that we made an appointment to see Holly, we were very impressed with her! Thank you Holly!!

Highly intuitive and professional massage therapist. I didn’t realize the massage I was getting for maintenance was routine, really focused on problem areas that were always overlooked.

Traverse Massage (Transparent background)

Sometimes a reading has helped someone work through grief and feel connected to someone they’ve lost. Sometimes it’s helped someone who feels stuck gain a different perspective on a relationship, a decision, or a season of life. And sometimes people simply need a safe, open space to talk about the things they don’t always feel comfortable sharing elsewhere.

Energy work became another part of that journey. I’ve found that some people don’t necessarily need answers or a reading. They need quiet, grounding, and space to slow down. Reiki and energy work can be incorporated into a session when it feels appropriate, giving people another way to relax and reconnect with themselves.

As meaningful as that work was, I began to see a pattern. People weren’t just carrying things emotionally, they were carrying them physically too.

That’s what led me to massage therapy.

I trained through the Mind Body Institute in a program that went well beyond basic requirements, with a strong focus on traditional massage techniques like deep tissue, therapeutic, and Swedish massage, as well as specialized techniques like manual lymphatic drainage, craniosacral, prenatal and postnatal massage, reflexology, and targeted pain work. Since becoming licensed, I’ve continued building on that foundation with additional training in lymphatic drainage, Ashiatsu barefoot massage, Thai massage, and grief-informed care.

A Holistic Approach

Over time, I’ve come to view all of my work as different forms of channeling, whether that’s through hands-on bodywork, energy work, or psychic mediumship work. Each session is guided by what’s needed in the moment, with the intention of supporting you in a way that feels both effective and grounded.

This means our session is crafted around your unique needs, whether physical, emotional, or energetic.

For that reason, I offer a flat rate based on time rather than charging for individual preferences or pressure and I include supportive elements like essential and therapeutic oils, hot packs, and other tools as needed, without add-ons or upsells, so the focus stays on your experience, not a menu.

Meeting You Where You Are

Some people come in with chronic pain, limited range of motion, or are recovering from surgery and need focused, knowledgeable care. Others are carrying stress, burnout, or emotional weight and simply need a place to decompress. Many fall somewhere in between.

My role is to meet you where you are and work in a way that supports what your body actually needs that day.

Intuitive Fusion Experiences

One of the things I especially enjoy is creating Intuitive Fusion Experiences for couples and small groups.

These aren’t just two or three people booking separate services at the same time. They’re an opportunity to share an experience together. A couple might share a psychic or mediumship reading and then each receive a massage. A small group of friends might share a reading and then take turns receiving focused bodywork or reiki.

I love creating these experiences because they bring together so much of what I enjoy doing, connecting with people, creating a comfortable space, and finding meaningful ways to combine intuitive work, energy work, and massage for a more well rounded body, mind and spirit experience.

The Intention Behind the Work

What makes my work different is the intention behind it. I set a clear intention that the clients who find me are ones I am truly able to help. I start each day in prayer, asking to be used in whatever ways I can to support healing, and to show up in a way that serves each client’s highest good. That intention carries into every session and I believe aligned me to transition into a home-based office that reflects the way I’ve always wanted to work, more personalized, more intentional, and more connected to the people I serve.

At the end of the day, my intention is simple, to help you feel better in your body, clear some of the weight you’ve been carrying, and give you space to reset before stepping back into your life.
