Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I’m Holly Becker - designer, bestselling author, creative entrepreneur, and mother who turned a bold dream into a beautiful reality.
Almost 20 years ago, I left a secure corporate job in Boston with nothing but a vision: to build a creative life on my own terms and relocate to Europe. I had no roadmap, but I trusted my heart. Step by step, I built a thriving business, welcomed my son, and made northern Germany my home with my husband and child for the past 17 years.
Since then, I’ve:
➳ Been featured in hundreds of magazines, newspapers, books, and podcasts
➳ Authored four bestselling books translated into 20 languages
➳ Founded my own magazine (HOLLY), sold across German-speaking Europe
➳ Delivered keynotes at major design and business fairs across Europe, USA, and the UK
➳ Designed products, interiors, cafés, concepts, and trade show installations
➳ Built a global creative community through decor8, Instagram, and Substack
➳ Taught thousands of students online, at retreats, and in workshops worldwide
➳ Launched the podcast Hello Holly
I developed CREATIVE/LIFE to offer what I never had at the start of my journey: one-on-one support, honest feedback, and a trusted guide. My mission is to help you grow with clarity and confidence - in a calm, focused way, without hustle or overwhelm.
If you’re ready to step into your next chapter with focus, energy, and ease, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. ♡

My clients’ words mean everything - here’s what they’ve said about their journey through coaching with me.
Need Only One Session?
If your ideas are all over the place and you need someone to help, you'll finish our one 90-minute call knowing exactly what to do next. No more circling, second-guessing, or drowning in “shoulds.” Just clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward for your creative work.
What You’ll Gain
➳ A personalized roadmap designed for your business and lifestyle
➳ Clarity around your offer, audience, or online presence
➳ Practical solutions for the tech, tools, or platforms that feel overwhelming
➳ Honest feedback from someone who’s been there and built a creative business from the ground up
➳ Confidence to finally move forward, without the chaos or hustle
How It Works
We meet online or in Hannover, Germany for 90 minutes. We’ll focus on the area where you need clarity most - whether that’s refining your brand, untangling your offer, or mapping your next pivot. You'll walk away with direction. You’ll get a recording of our call, a written summary, and a focused action list so you leave with next steps you can trust.
Is this for you?
This one session is a great fit if you’re:
➳ Just starting your creative business and feel unsure where to focus
➳ Ready to refine your brand, content, or message so it finally feels aligned
➳ Tired of piecing together advice and need direct feedback
➳ Looking for calm, expert support that simplifies things instead of adding to your overwhelm
90 minutes of focused support with me: $425 USD (tax/vat included).
Mentorship Application
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in working with me. This eight session mentorship experience is designed for women to help you find a clear path, feel supported and motivated, find the best solutions for your challenges, and help you to navigate your creative business with positivity and clearer goals. Whether you're starting something new, navigating a pivot, feeling stuck, or ready to grow, our time together is tailored to your unique goals and challenges.
Please answer the questions in the short application linked below as openly and honestly as you can. Your responses will help me understand what support you're looking for and whether this mentorship is the right fit for both of us.

I look forward to learning more about you and your creative journey.
"Working with Holly changed the trajectory of my life."
Working with Holly changed the trajectory of my life. When I came to her, I had two passions I couldn't seem to bring together: personal development and spirituality on one side, creativity on the other. They lived in separate parts of me, and I couldn't find a way to connect them.
Holly helped me bridge that gap.
Through her mentorship, she didn't just help me find clarity - she helped me uncover the idea that would become my business: a training program for Mindful Creative Coaches. It was something I never would have imagined on my own, yet the moment she reflected it back to me, I knew it was mine.
Because of that work, I found the courage to leave the security of my teaching career and begin creating a more independent, self-directed life in Mallorca.
What makes Holly exceptional is her ability to see what others miss. She listens beneath the surface, recognizes the gifts and possibilities you may not yet see in yourself, and helps bring them into focus. She has a remarkable way of uncovering what feels most true and helping you build a meaningful path forward.
I am deeply grateful for her guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who feels called toward something bigger, more aligned, and more authentic. If you have the opportunity to work with Holly, take it.

FAQ
Can I get a refund?
I offer a 100% Happiness Promise. While coaching isn’t covered by Payhip’s standard 30-day refund policy, I want you to feel fully supported. If something isn’t working for you, I’ll always do my best to make it right - whether that means adjusting our approach or offering credits toward future courses. Your satisfaction matters most.
How do I book my session?
After purchase, you’ll receive a link to my online calendar (via Calendly). From there, you can easily schedule your sessions - and a Zoom link with password will be generated automatically. You’ll also receive my email and WhatsApp details so you can stay connected. Rescheduling is just as simple: use the same calendar link, no back-and-forth emails needed. I live in Germany so I'm in the CEST time zone, which means an hour ahead of London and 6 hours ahead of Boston, etc.
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Yes! If you’re in Hannover, Germany, we can meet face-to-face. I also travel within the UK and Europe (travel costs covered by you). If I come to you, we can extend our time together - coaching plus a shared lunch or dinner, if you’d like.
Can I buy more coaching later?
Absolutely. You’re always welcome to continue. As a returning client, you’ll lock in your current rate (even if my fees increase), as long as you book within 12 months of your last session. Plus, if you purchase a second 8-session package within the same calendar year, you’ll receive a bonus session free.
Still not sure?
That's okay! I'm here for you. Reach out to schedule a free 15–20 minute Zoom call where we can connect, get to know each other, and explore how these sessions can best support you!
