Bio
Holly Blazina is the founder and CEO of Big Gutsy Life, Gutsy Yoga, the Gutsy Type Method, and GutSpirit. She helps empaths and over giving entrepreneurs bring balance into each area of their gut-heart-mind-Spirit axis.
Her unique Gutsy Type Method is an alchemical elixir, calling on the Yoga and Ayurveda traditions, Embodied Vision™ Coaching, Dream work, and a lifelong career as a flamenco guitarist. Holly helps her clients get to the energetic roots behind their gut pain, weight gain, and food intolerances, resolving them for good.
Her Method shines with resetting the nervous system, shifting subconscious beliefs and discovering healing foods for their individual Type, laying a foundation for radiant health.
Holly is an award winning composer, recording artist, and published author. She revels in creating courses and events that marry the practical with the exquisite, helping hundreds to reclaim their gut wisdom so they can carry out their high, holy dream and life’s mission.
She has personally overcome chronic fatigue, candida, food sensitivities, repetitive strain injuries, insomnia and childhood PTSD. After spending over 25 years figuring out how to reclaim her life, she is an authority on going the distance in service of healing and soul purpose.
Holly believes anyone who’s ready to do the work can heal, and that true healing occurs through balancing each level of the gut-heart-mind-Spirit axis.
