Meet Holly Chang

Holly Chang is an Empowerment Coach and Facilitator dedicated to helping individuals create a fully expressed life, to share their art, to speak in public, to voice your F*ck yes and sacred no.

Ultimately to live life filled with joy, pleasure, and authenticity.

Clients who have worked with her often share profound transformations—feeling braver, more alive, and deeply trusting in themselves.

Holly designed Embodied Expression as an experience that invites people to explore their fullest self-expression—through emotions, authentic communication, and artistry in dance, voice, and writing. She believes that deep embodiment allows individuals to align with their highest self, paving the way for them to create and live the life of their dreams.

Her Journey to Embodied Expression

Holly was born and raised in a traditional Asian family with strict expectations on demeaner, education and career. She did not grow up in a household where expressing one’s truth was welcomed. She was constantly told to “Be Quiet!” by her parents, teachers and colleagues yet her truest self yearned to be heard, to scream, to be seen in dance.

Holly attended University California of Irvine (Go Anteaters!) and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Social Behavior and a minor in Education.

After college, Holly worked 10 years in the corporate world navigating through Blockchain Technology, Silicon Valley startups, Music and Advertising. Holly felt burnt out from working 60+ hour weeks to move up the corporate ladder. One weekend when trying to recharge, she began her spiritual journey by attending a hot yoga class. She experienced a simple yet profound level of “peace” which was a breath of fresh air compared to her corporate life. This left an imprint of what was possible.

Several years later, she packed all of her belongings into one suitcase and spent the five years traveling the world. She spent 2.5 years in Bali during the pandemic and has built meaningful connections across Hawaii, Thailand, Costa Rica, China, Taiwan, Sweden, Amsterdam, and Berlin. Each destination holds a special place in her heart.

In this journey, she followed her intuitive curiosity as she explored a variety of transformative modalities, including vipassana meditation, plant medicine, reiki energy healing, and tantra, deepening her sense of awe and oneness. As a lifelong learner, Holly also pursued a Master’s in Applied Epigenetics (the study of how one’s choices, thoughts and beliefs can alter their gene expression). With her vast experience, she combined all of the transformative modalities and integrated them with dance, authentic relating, music, and singing to create her own Ph.D. Student of Life program in Bali. This was the birthing of Embodied Expression.

Holly’s ability to navigate both the business and spiritual realms allows her to offer a holistic and grounded approach to personal growth and transformation. She is a true bridge that connects Eastern and Western cultures, technological and spiritual worlds, and the brain and the heart. Above all, Holly is devoted to helping others find complete joy in their lives by embracing the full spectrum of the human experience through Embodied Expression.

Fun Facts:

Holly does not have formal dance background—in fact, she has a core memory of being rejected from the 7th grade dance team—Holly had to overcome the feeling that she was not good enough as a dancer. She now dances every day, prioritizing how it feels rather than how it looks. She has also dedicated herself to understanding and expressing her emotions in healthy ways, creating nervous system-supported containers for self-expression that allow her to create from a place of authenticity.

She channels her own embodied expression through FLOWATREE—a dynamic fusion of spoken word, movement, dance, and improvisation. This ever-evolving art form allows her to tap into raw, intuitive creativity, embrace spontaneity, and fully own her artistic voice. Holly brings this same sense of embodied artistry into Embodied Expression, guiding others to unlock their own creative magic and express themselves fully.

She has lived many lives—from a party girl in college to a driven tech entrepreneur, from a sheltered bubble in suburbs to a world traveler.

Holly is also an international real estate investor. She has a passive income stream through a short term rental which enables her to pursue her artistry full-time while maintaining financial stability.

Holly survived a near-death experience alone in the forest of Bulgaria and leaned in on her pleasure practice as a way to save herself and fully live.

Holly loves fire dancing and flows with palm torches, fans, an orb, and is just starting to learn the very sexy rope dart.

After moving back to Los Angeles, she dared herself to step onto the stage to perform stand-up comedy. This turned into a 3 month journey discovering the power of storytelling and humor as tools for self-expression and connection.

Holly believes that dreams comes true and she empowers others to dare to dream big. She created and lead Dream Workshops throughout New York, California, Thailand, Bali and Europe. She knows that even the seemingly impossible can become possible when one cultivates deep inner trust.

And if there’s one thing she loves, it’s a ripe, juicy mango! 🥭😝
