testimonials
Over the years, I’ve worked with so many beautiful souls through 1:1 coaching, online classes, website design, and more. Here are some of their kind words…
“I began my journey with Hillary because I decided to listen to my soul and begin a new business—the business of my dreams. I felt like I needed a little more guidance, I needed someone to hold up a mirror and show me that I had the ability within to leap. She made me feel at home. Our sessions felt like talking to a best friend. After our very first call, I found confidence and clarity. After our fourth call? I was filling my calendar with clients. I would not be where I am today without her.”

“Connecting with Hillary came at a time in my life (and business) that I was looking for spiritual guidance to live a deeper, more meaningful, creative, and feminine life. I was in need of someone to help me understand my own story better, that would help me to show up fully in the world, so that I could enjoy my life and work without fears, doubts, or guilt. And that is exactly what I got out of my time with Hillary. I came to our session without really knowing what to expect, but with a lot of questions and uncertainties. Hillary created a beautiful space for me, and worked as a guiding light to help me find more clarity, and see things from a different perspective. I absolutely loved the peacefulness that she created for me, and I felt understood, and loved. After our session Hillary sent me a workbook, and a summary of what we had talked about with some additional prompts, and activities. This helped me to get going and really made a difference. I loved everything about it. Thank you Hillary!”

“I have grown creatively through this process ... this growth comes in a large part because of your support and mentorship. You have changed my life; you have held my hand and lifted me up as I have walked through the unknown door of my soul and creativity. Annapurna Living and your beauty-ness of all things kind and sacred have given me the biggest gift. I am grateful and humbled every day to work with you and to call you my friend.”
— Carrie-Anne Moss
“Hillary exudes grace and authenticity in every interaction. Her unconditional support & tender guidance helped me bring deep & soul-full intention to all areas of my life. Where I felt I was lacking, she encouraged me & built me up. Her ability to provide insight & steps for subsequent actions helped me create a more beautiful life. Hillary made exploring & utilizing my creativity a truly decadent experience. She brings a magnificent sense of wonder & compassion to any situation you may face. Whether you are ready to jump right in & get started, or need someone to help excavate your dreams, working with Hillary will infuse you with Life.”

“You and the work changed me forever. I sat with it and worked on nourishing my soul and gave my physical body-obsession a vacation. As I nourished my soul, something definitely shifted big time…I mean BIG time. So now I sit in the practice of life with such gratitude that my body gifted back to the universe 30 lbs. and is still giving. When I look back at the pictures I took during our work together, I see my beauty was always there. Some of them are my favorite pictures of myself ever.”
— L. Lebovitz
“I just wanted to thank you again for your class and our mentorship call. They really laid a strong foundation for growth during my retreats. I feel fresh, new, energized and in a great peace. My art camp gave me a chance to try on my new story (the truth about my childhood and my personal body beliefs). It is so clear to me that because of your class, especially the mirror exercise, that the answers were no longer just talk. The self love has taken hold in my heart has opened me up to the truth and has diffused the lies and the scared feelings of “not enoughness” inside. For the first time I felt no self loathing. All I felt was love, compassion, calmness and strength. My mind, body and soul are finally aligned. Blessings...true blessings to you. Thank you.”

“There is so much to discover in this beautiful course that you've created. It was inviting and full of spark and solace simultaneously. The simple process of reading the words you posted each day was like a much needed balm. And the insight provoked by the reflection questions really helped me unravel some deep deep beliefs that (even as a highly reflective person) had flown under my radar for years. As I went through the course it was obvious how much care, love and reverence you've poured into what you've offered here. There are so many potential layers to uncover in this invitation, practice & journey through living a creating life, that I can imagine the exponential value and catalytic magic that will occur for me going through it more than once. I'm so grateful for the weekly conversations that we had via phone, that both felt like several mini reunions with an long-held friend, and a gentle prodding to reconnect with the parts of myself that most bring me alive. Really truly, your faith and devotion in your own process & in the work you create is so inspiring; and just as supportive as the spirit you bring to the community and conversations that you use to hold all of us as we do this important, sometimes scary, and ultimately life giving work!”

“I know I have thanked you for my website before, but I need you to know it has TRANSFORMED by business. Truly. I have more clients and opportunities for income and business growth than I have ever had and I feel like not only do others take me seriously but I take myself more seriously as a coach, supporter, teacher, etc. I’m proud to send people to my online home. I recently have been asked by a local business to start seeing clients in-person at their space, host workshops and plan retreats with the owner. She told me how much she loved my site and I really think it was a deciding factor for her when I approached her about offering a one-off workshop. I recently held a workshop over the weekend and one of the women who came immediately signed up to work with me on her health. She told me that as soon as she saw my site and my offerings she just knew she had to work with me! You are so mega talented and I just wanted to make sure you knew that. Thank you so, so much for all that you created for me. I’m so in love with it and you.”

“Hillary!! You rock and this class rocked!! I feel better about my body image since this class. Your words are lush, vibrant and juicy. We are what we consume, including words, and feasting on this beautiful selection of truth-telling has filled me up.”
— Laura B.
“I truly appreciated how you incorporated the whole body into the course. Though I too am a lush woman, I am also infertile and that has proved more a struggle than my body size. I am leaning into creativity and “birthing” in other ways of my life.”
— Brandi
“I was so blown away by the love. The generous lessons and all of the true care I know went into each one. I loved opening the lessons and seeing the assignments. I also loved how you revealed so much about yourself and how you shared some of your history. I like an instructor who is “in it,” not just doling out information. I’m also over the moon that you shared your essential oil blend! This felt like receiving gold. I have never taken a course with so much love written into exercises that are not soft and easy. I am also being gentle now...softer to my body. You went out of your way to connect with everyone who chose to share and I appreciate this.”
— Laura M.
“I feel like you just opened up a magic carpet bag and began stocking my pantry with all kinds of amazing preserves, tinctures, delicious pickled things, salves, herbs, fragrant teas, and some moonshine for good measure! I feel so supported and nourished and ready for the journey ahead. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
— Abby Buchanan
“I do sooooo miss connecting every morning. The timing was perfect. I had my cup of tea while reading the material. I have never looked forward to a program more. I felt immediately welcomed and supported. I loved the welcome packet that deepened everyone's connection. I have already referred a friend to your program. It is so deep and rich and at the same time fun and playful. Your words are beautiful and inspiring. The resources are wonderful. I loved the daily assignments and will be using this material for years to come. I am honored to be part of the first group. I can't wait to see how your program continues to unfold. I'm in!! Thank you so much for your lovely, tender, moving work. You are a beautiful spirit.”

“Living is a precious work of art & often times the world gets in the way. For years, I've felt the call to get my hands in the clay & found myself with a million other things to do instead. Until that dreamlike day when Hillary reached out her tender hand in invitation with her course. As I put my trust in this gentle soul & took her hand a crack in the universe opened, the space I was meant to fill. Creativity imploded within me and exploded in my life. My very being was flooded with every idea I am forever jotting down on tiny bits of paper, every nuance of design I had tucked away in the folds of my flesh and every butterfly flitting around in my brain. They were all free as I danced through this precious work. My appreciation for the immense passion, illumination & love put into it by Hillary is greater than the galaxies of eternity.”
— Julia Ball
“What an extraordinary experience! You led us on a deeply personal and enchanted journey into the depths of our creative soul. I savored each day's lessons, prompts, poetry and interviews. This course holds space for deep exploration for leading an expressive life. I loved how you broke it into doable lessons. It is generous, phenomenal, and a true gift for an artist's soul. I treasure the beautiful eBook that I can refer back to for inspiration anytime.“
