How My Breakthrough Coaching was founded

My Breakthrough Coaching was born from a deeply personal and unexpected connection. Holly and Lauren-Aaliyah first met while training to become Certified Food Addiction Recovery Advocates, a program that transformed their lives and revealed their shared passion for holistic wellness. Though separated by continents, Lauren-Aaliyah living in South Africa and Holly in the United States, they quickly discovered a profound alignment in their values, perspectives and purpose.

What began as peer support evolved into heartfelt collaboration. Their early conversations blossomed into a small community podcast, which later became the YouTube show Breakthrough to Best Self with Holly & Lauren-Aaliyah, a space for honest conversations, emotional healing and practical tools for transformation. They also connected while facilitating daily group sessions in a recovery community for people struggling with food obsession and intense food cravings. Despite their vastly different cultural backgrounds and lifestyles, their bond only grew stronger. The contrast between them became their greatest strength.

Together, they founded My Breakthrough Coaching to offer others what they found in each other: a non-judgmental, deeply supportive container for personal growth. Their unique 2-on-1 approach brings together Lauren-Aaliyah and Holly's insights into mindset and emotional healing as well as expertise in subconscious transformation and alternative healing modalities. It's proof that healing doesn't require sameness, only compassion, curiosity and connection.

At its core, My Breakthrough Coaching is a celebration of what's possible when people come together across perceived differences to support each other's breakthroughs. It's a living reminder that no matter your background or struggle, you're not alone, and that transformation is possible when you're met with empathy, presence and real support.
