Life & Work with Britt Handler of Wilmington, NC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Britt Handler

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
The seeds of Wild Human Holistics were first planted in 2017. Although I had been exploring holistic well-being for many years leading to that, that year specifically opened so many doors for me and took my passion for well-being to an entire different level. That was the year I began to unlock my personal inner work—which set the tone for how I lead and hold space for others today. At the time, I had turned to acupuncture to address persistent hip pain. What I didn’t expect was to uncover the deeper cause: this physical discomfort was a manifestation of unprocessed grief from the loss of my father when I was a young child. For 20 years, I had buried that grief so deeply that I didn’t even believe it existed anymore. Yet there it was—loud, clear, and crying for my attention.

Even after this realization, I hesitated to confront the depth of my pain—it felt scary to go there, which I know many people can relate to. I truly believe life has a way of guiding us when we’re ready and so shortly after, in the months that followed, life brought me a series of awakening experiences, including a traumatic brain injury that forced me to slow down and sit with the dark, repressed parts of myself. I finally faced the pain of my upbringing with a single mother, the grief of losing my father, as well as my childhood sexual abuse. These wounds, buried for so long, began to rise to the surface, bringing with them a hyper awareness of the grief, shame, feelings of abandonment, and low self-worth that were associated. I began to see that the weight of all of these wounds had made me entirely disconnected for most of my life up until this point.

To my younger self’s surprise—the one who had hidden her pain to feel safe—the more I allowed myself to develop a compassionate intimacy with my pain, the more whole I felt. I discovered that giving my experiences a voice made me feel lighter, more connected, and more empowered. And from that space, I’ve become a student of my own nervous system, my creative cycles, and my emotional world. What I offer now is less about ‘healing others’ and more about honoring the natural intelligence of our own unfolding. I believe our challenges hold profound wisdom when we allow them to teach us. I hold space for women to meet themselves in that same deep way.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My journey has definitely come with its challenges, and I believe that’s true for most meaningful journeys. Before stepping onto my healing path, I had made drinking, drugs, and using casual sexual encounters my way to disconnect from my feelings and escape the deeper wounds I didn’t yet understand or know how to face. Once I began my inner process, it became clear that my self-harming behaviors, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and deep disconnection from my power were perpetuations of the dynamics and traumas from my upbringing. This realization was humbling and painful, and it also opened the door for true transformation.

As I committed to my self-evolution I fully quit drinking and doing drugs. I also made the conscious choice to embrace celibacy as part of my healing journey, allowing me to heal from sexual traumas and redefine my relationship with my sacred energy—free from the energetic entanglements I had once mistaken for connection. All of this has shaped the way I hold space now: with devotion, integrity, and reverence for the body as temple.

There were seasons that felt like death cycles—relationships falling away, illusions crumbling, identities dissolving. Yet every breakdown was a portal into something more true. This journey has taught me that self-embodiment is less about fixing yourself—and more about remembering who you’ve always been underneath the layers, patterns, and internal conflicts. When we can uncover these deeper truths and take responsibility for how our own patterns may have attracted them, creating new, healthier ways of relating becomes so fulfilling.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Wild Human Holistics is evolving alongside me. What started as space-holding is now becoming a living, breathing ecosystem—one that weaves together integrative self-evolution support, nervous system support, creative expression, and nature-based wisdom.

Flower essences have been a quiet companion in my life for years, woven into my daily rituals long before I realized how deeply I connected to them. It was only recently—when I began making my own—that I fully recognized their place in my life and my work. Their subtle yet potent energy mirrors the kind of healing I offer: integrative, intuitive, and transformative. I now feel inspired to offer them as part of the space I hold, because I love how simple and sacred they are.

What sets my work apart is that my most accredited training has come through lived experience. I have walked through my own unique journey of trauma, grief, burnout, internal conflicts, emotional addictions, and disconnection—and through that, I have come to understand the nuance, the paradox, and the depth of what it truly means to meet yourself. I am also deeply committed to my own ongoing evolution and integration. Self-responsibility is my life’s work. And every offering, session, and space I create is born from that devotion and embodiment.

My work is for women who are ready to meet their truth, honor their cycles, and live more fully and compassionately from within. I’m here for the ones who know that self-evolution and embodiment aren’t a destination—they’re a way of living. The ones who want to feel more magnetic, sovereign, self-led, and aligned with what actually matters to them.

Currently, I offer 1:1 sessions and I remain open to new clients who feel resonant. If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect.
