Jana Holland

Jana Holland is a somatic trauma therapist and spiritual director based in Byron Bay, Australia (respectfully on Arakwal Country). She is the author of Embodied Awakening, creator of the Escensi, and the founder of Celu Selah Wellness. 

​

As a seasoned Spiritual Director and Somatic Therapist, she has spent two decades exploring the intersection of neuroscience, spirituality, and somatics. Her educational background includes a BA in Communications and Psychology from UW- Milwaukee, an MA in Global Leadership and Spiritual Direction from Fuller Seminary-California, and a Certificate in Somatic Trauma Therapy from the Embody Lab.​

​

Her integrative Soul Care work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, somatics, and spirituality. She supports individuals in seasons of awakening, transition, disappointment, disillusionment, or grief, providing a space to explore, heal, connect, grow, and rediscover purpose. Her work, whether online or in person, often incorporates body-based and contemplative wisdom, including breathwork, meditation, nervous system toning and regulation, creative play, and somatic coaching.

​

Jana's ancestral knowledge and personal practices are deeply rooted in the Way of Yeshua—a path emphasising love, shalom, compassion, wonder, and sacredness in the ordinary. She supports seekers of all backgrounds and orientations, providing compassionate listening, soul hospitality, and practical tools for a transformative journey.

 

In addition to Soul Care, Jana works with leaders, healers, and practitioners as a Coach, Group Facilitator and Keynote Speaker. In this role, she infuses trauma-informed care with principles of compassionate self-leadership, nurturing resilience, empathy, and mindful decision-making.​

 

If you or your community are seeking soul nourishment, navigating leadership challenges, or exploring your unique path, she invites you to embark on this journey together.
