a little about me
I’m Alison Holly Stephen aka the Aliholly.
What else can I tell you about me? I’m based out of Vancouver, BC., Canada. I really dig crystals. And gongs. I take things to the gutter. A lot. And I refer to myself as a perma-pilgrim because I’m constantly seeking sacred sites and knowledge.
This website started as a wee blog called Wonder Craver and has evolved over the years with the projects I have worked on including my podcast called The Awakenizer and various Reiki offerings.
I sometimes get self-conscious because my work is diverse but then I remind myself to trust that it all serves a purpose whether I am conscious of it or not, that it all is medicine in one way or another. And I’m grateful that I allow myself to follow what I feel is the call of my soul.
what I believe
001.
there’s more to our world + us
There’s so much more to the world than we realize and our reality is way weirder and more beautiful than we could ever imagine. So are we!
002.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM
If we don’t know the true nature of who we are and the world around us then how can we optimize our well-being and live our highest potential?
003.
a shift of the ages
We are living in an important time where an old world is dying as a new world is birthing. Where we are being given a chance to step into our potential.
a little about my work
writing
I don’t know why but I receive stories. They just come to me. From where I don’t know but I just get the ideas and I’m trusting them more as I get older.
I learned the craft of storytelling during film school and from working in the film industry for over 20+ years. Because of this the stories I “receive” are usually scripts.
My first self-published book is called Spark and it’s about a girl named Spark who sparks – literal burst of light emanate from her unexpectedly. It’s what I call a mash up of a screenplay and a traditional book format and it’s my way of telling a story about the inner spark and light inside us all – an ancient and sacred truth. There are copies of the first edition available in my shop.
ENERGY WORK
For the majority of my life I didn’t understand that I have an energetic field that encompasses my body. Better yet, that this energy isn’t just around me it is me. And because I didn’t now about it I didn’t take care of it. I know I’m not alone in not knowing this.
Sound, frequency, and vibration are wonderful ways to tend to your energy and are a powerful addition to your self-care rituals and to your life!
I currently offer 1:1 bespoke Frequency Sound Treatments and Group Frequency Sound Baths. You can find out more about them and check my current availability and events in my shop.
