Hi, I’m Nora Hollenkamp, founder of Healing Tides Movement.
I’m really glad you’re here.
I didn’t always have words for what I was feeling—but I could always move through it.
As a lifelong dancer and devoted yogi, I experienced early on how movement can soften the intensity of our inner world—the overthinking, the pressure, the quiet but constant sense of needing to do more, be more, get it right.
That experience stayed with me, and over time, it became the foundation for my work.
This path is both professional and deeply personal. I understand what it’s like to live in a mind that doesn’t easily slow down—to navigate perfectionism, overachievement, and the subtle pull to make decisions from fear rather than from alignment. To carry a nervous system that feels constantly “on,” even when everything appears fine on the outside.
What I’ve learned—through both lived experience and clinical practice—is that insight alone isn’t always enough. At some point, the body has to be included.
At Healing Tides, I integrate traditional therapy with somatic practices, mindfulness, and movement to support meaningful, lasting change. Together, we explore not only what’s happening in your mind —but how it’s held, experienced, and gently shifted within the body.
A little about my “official” side (because that matters too):
I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (License #25149) with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life’s challenges and transitions.
My background includes work in schools, hospitals, hospice care, and community-based settings. I began my professional path in Early Childhood Development and Child Psychology, and later earned my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health, both from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities.
More recently, I completed my Master of Business Administration at St. Kate’s University—expanding how I think about systems, growth, and the many ways people navigate complex, high-demand lives.
And alongside all of that—
I’m deeply committed to my own inner work. Not just intellectually, but cognitively, emotionally, and spiritually. Because growth isn’t something I just talk about—it’s something I actively live, practice, and continue to move through.
