About Holly Duckworth, PhD
Before becoming a guide for spiritual transformation, Dr. Holly Duckworth spent two decades in corporate leadership, managing engineering teams, implementing Six Sigma systems, and leading professional development initiatives across global manufacturing firms. Her transition from boardroom to therapy room wasn’t a rejection of structure, but a return to deeper alignment. After earning her PhD in Psychology, she began integrating clinical insight with spiritual exploration in her work as a therapist and hypnosis practitioner.
For the past 13 years, Holly has facilitated over 1,000 sessions using Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), Dolores Cannon's form of hypnosis. Her work invites clients into direct conversation with the Higher Self to access intuitive guidance, reframe suffering, and engage with their lives from a soul-centered perspective. What began as private practice evolved into guiding and teaching through her books and public speaking.
She is the author of 'The Higher Self Trilogy', a three-part series that blends channeled wisdom, clinical experience, and client stories. The trilogy explores the spiritual dimensions of purpose, forgiveness, and gratitude - culminating in her latest release, 'Finding Gratitude: Surprising Growth from the Higher Self', which reframes gratitude as a transformative state of being, not a fleeting mindset or a journal entry.
Together, the trilogy offers a path: from discovering purpose, to healing through self-forgiveness, to embracing gratitude as a tool for spiritual evolution. Holly brings these themes to life through grounded conversation and lived insight - guiding others through each step with clarity, compassion, and a deep trust in the wisdom we all carry.
Holly Duckworth, PhD Talking Points
What the Higher Self Wants You to Know
After facilitating over 1,000 Quantum Healing Hypnosis sessions, Holly began to notice a remarkable pattern; clients were asking the same life questions, and the Higher Self was offering strikingly similar answers. These weren’t vague affirmations, but specific, consistent insights about purpose, healing, and the nature of consciousness. In this conversation, Holly shares what she’s learned from sitting with hundreds of people in deep subconscious states and what the Higher Self really wants us to understand about who we are, why we’re here, and how to navigate life with more peace and clarity.
Gratitude as a Spiritual Technology
Gratitude is often reduced to a daily habit or positivity exercise, but Holly reframes it as a powerful spiritual technology that activates transformation at the soul level. Drawing from her new book 'Finding Gratitude: Surprising Growth from the Higher Self' and years of client experiences, she explores how living in a state of true, unconditional gratitude, even for illness, loss, or trauma, can accelerate growth in this incarnation and beyond. This conversation helps listeners move beyond surface-level “thankfulness” to understand how deep, embodied gratitude rewires how we experience suffering and connect to our higher self.
The Hidden Power of Self-Forgiveness
Many people speak about the importance of forgiveness, but few are taught how to actually do it. Holly shares why all forgiveness ultimately comes back to self-forgiveness, and how this shift in perspective can unlock healing from years of guilt, resentment, and emotional stagnation. Based on her book 'Finding Forgiveness: Surprising Healing from the Higher Self', she introduces a practical method and brings real client stories to illustrate how self-forgiveness can resolve buried wounds and restore inner peace, more powerfully than any external apology.
From Engineer to Energy Healer
Before becoming a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, Holly spent decades in the world of mechanical engineering and corporate leadership. Her journey from leading engineering teams to guiding past-life regressions wasn’t a leap of faith, it was a process of integration. In this episode, she unpacks how she reconciled logic with intuition, and how her analytical mind became a surprising asset in her healing work. Her story speaks to anyone who’s made a major career shift or felt called to a deeper, less conventional path, and wondered if their past life experience still had a place in their future.
