by: PJ Valenciano

Some people enter your life like a gentle breeze on a sweltering day—quiet but profoundly refreshing. Georgie Holbrook was one of them! 

Her presence and guidance are steady, warm, and deeply affirming. She embodies everything holistic wellness represents healing, compassion, and trust. Her influence reshaped how I think about health—it reshaped how I live.

How I Met Georgie Holbrook

Life has a way of sending us people exactly when we need them. That’s how I see my encounter with Georgie Holbrook. Author and writer Ghary Won introduced me to her, and I now recognize that introduction as the universe’s way of helping me continue my path to holistic wellness. 

I was in the middle of shadow work—a period of intense self-reflection where I confronted old wounds and doubts. It was messy, uncomfortable, and deeply vulnerable.

When I met Georgie, it felt like being held by a friend who sees you, flaws and all, and still believes in you. Our interactions were limited, but working on a project with her opened me up to her world. Her voice carried a warmth that cut through my self-doubt. 

Through our email exchanges, her presence during Zoom calls, and her words of encouragement, I felt supported in a way I hadn’t expected. It was the energy behind the words. Her love was tangible. I began to believe that maybe I wasn’t as "lost" as I thought.

There’s something special about being seen for who you are in your most tender, unguarded moments. Georgie did that for me. Her guidance addressed not only my mind but also my heart and spirit.

What I Learned from Georgie Holbrook 

The lessons I’ve learned from Georgie Holbrook are lived experiences.

The most powerful lesson she taught me is this: Listen.

Listen to your body.

Listen to your heart.

Listen to your intuition.

She showed me that our bodies are constantly speaking to us—not in shouts but in whispers. I had spent so much of my life ignoring those whispers.

Discomfort, Georgie explained, signals that something deeper is calling for attention.

Her guidance on self-compassion shifted something within me even when. I’d been so used to "powering through" everything—pain, doubt, even exhaustion.

But Georgie’s words showed through our interactions stayed with me: "Be gentle with yourself." Those words were a permission slip I didn’t know I needed. I started noticing my inner dialogue and realized how often I was harsh with myself. It’s a daily practice now—to shift from criticism to kindness, to honor the small victories, and to treat myself as I would a friend in need.

Perhaps the most profound lesson I’ve learned from Georgie is to trust my intuition. For so long, I’d confused doubt with intuition. I’d hear a calm, clear inner voice and think, "That’s too simple to be right." But that intuition is calm. It’s the quiet knowing—not the anxious guessing.

Learning to trust that calm voice within has been life changing. I’ve made decisions with more confidence, let go of things that no longer served me, and embraced opportunities I might have ignored out of fear.

Georgie’s message of trust stays in my mind and is rooted in my heart.

The Power of Presence

If I had to describe Georgie Holbrook’s impact in one word, it would be presence. Her presence is more than physical—it’s energetic. It’s her ability to hold space for you in your uncertainty and offer unwavering support. We are miles apart!

In moments when I’ve felt overwhelmed, Georgie’s presence has been like a warm embrace. She doesn’t make the challenges disappear—but she makes them feel less heavy. She’s a guide who stands beside you, encouraging you to walk your path with trust and grace.

There have been moments when I’ve shared my fears with her, expecting to be met with advice or "solutions," but instead, she’d remind me to trust and send with no question-- healing.

And, somehow, I’d find clarity in that stillness.

What Makes Georgie Holbrook’s Approach Unique?

Georgie’s approach to wellness is not a method or a "system"—it’s a way of being. While many health practitioners focus on treating physical symptoms, Georgie looks deeper. She sees illness as a messenger. Her belief that unhealed emotions manifest in the body has made me view health differently. I’m now curious about discomfort instead of fearing it.

Her approach is grounded in these core principles:

• Emotional Awareness: Understanding and releasing emotions that create stress within the body.

• Inner Dialogue Shift: Replacing self-criticism with self-compassion.

• Mind-Body Connection: Recognizing how our thoughts, feelings, and health are interwoven.

• Presence and Trust: Trusting the body’s wisdom, trusting your intuition, and trusting life’s unfolding.

Why This Message Matters Now More Than Ever

The world feels heavy sometimes. Anxiety, burnout, and the constant pressure to "keep going" are everywhere. Georgie’s message is a quiet rebellion against that noise. She reminds us that healing happens when we pause, breathe, and listen.

Her reminder to "slow down and listen" isn’t just about health—it’s about life. It’s about honoring our inner rhythms and letting go of the belief that we have to have everything figured out.
