Owner and Practitioner

Holly Collins is the owner and practitioner of Universal Energy Healing, offering a grounded, compassionate approach to wellness that bridges behavioral neuroscience, contemplative practice, and embodied healing. Her work supports people in reconnecting with their body’s innate intelligence — the natural capacity to self‑regulate, restore balance, and return to ease when given the right conditions.

After years in a high‑pressure corporate environment, Holly experienced firsthand how chronic stress accumulates quietly in the body. lived experience deepens her belief that sustainable well‑being arises from an intentional relationship between mind, body, and spirit.

Holly’s foundation in yoga began with her as a student practicing for many years and completing her first 200‑hour PranaVayu Yoga training in 2015 with David Magone, a practice rooted in breathwork, meditation, and intuitive vinyasa flow. Building on this foundation with power yoga and completing 200hrYTT with CorePower yoga in 2019. She later deepened her studies in Yin Yoga with Sagel Urlacher, integrating Buddhist and Taoist philosophy into her teaching. Her approach is intentional, trauma‑aware, and centered on creating spaces where the nervous system can soften.

Holly trained in Lymph Flow Yoga™ with Barbara Jackson (2025) and incorporates gentle lymphatic manual massage into her work. This practice reinforces the importance of stillness, safety, and compassion — especially for those navigating trauma, inflammation, or prolonged stress. She guides clients in recognizing stress signals and applying supportive tools that help ease tension and cultivate body awareness.

Holly also weaves sound healing into her sessions, drawing from her training with master sound healer Vickie Gould. She incorporates a variety of sound tools in yoga studios, art spaces, and community settings to support emotional release and deep rest. In addition, she has been a practicing community herbalist since completing her three‑year training with Commonwealth Herbs (2015–2018), offering plant‑based support that complements her movement and meditation work.

Her academic background in neuroscience provides a strong foundation for understanding how stress, breathwork, movement, and regulation function in the brain. This blend of science and subtle energy allows her to offer practices that are both intuitive and evidence‑informed.

Holly’s intention is to empower clients with non‑invasive, time‑tested tools they can return to again and again — practices that reduce stress, build resilience, and create a ripple effect of clarity and peacefulness in daily life.
