Be yourself and change the world!
That's my motto. It means owning your gifts, your life experience, your perspective, and all the wonderful things that make you uniquely you. And then taking these gifts to the people around you and helping them heal and become their healthiest, happiest, most magnificent selves.
Can you envision the butterfly effect of this with me? When you emerge outside of those labels and allow yourself to shine - you become a beacon of...
Last week I talked about the power of writing a new story that you tell yourself about who you are and what you can accomplish and experience in your life. If you're still not living the courageous, authentic, joyful life that you want to be living, it is time for you to write your new story. Some of you have heard my transformational story before, but it's a great example of the process of writing a new story. So here it is again.
In 2007, I decided to write a new story...
Recently, I re-discovered how powerful thoughts are in creating our experience of life.
Without even realizing it, our subconscious thoughts set us up to experience the same emotions in new situations as we had in old situations. If your past experiences involved struggle, disappointment, suffering, lack of love, not enough money, etc..., you may be letting this story about who you are and what you can expect from life shape the life you're experiencing today and...
Isn't it frustrating how how we sometimes get in our own way while we are trying to achieve our goals? You can set intentions and goals, be as positive as a cheerleader about them, doing affirmations and visualizations, but if deep down you don't believe that they can become reality for you - they won't, will they?
For example: you set a goal to go to the gym 3 times a week after work, or an intention to attract new clients to fill out the empty spots in your schedule or...
I remember hearing in high school about a technique that coaches used with athlete's to help them get into the "zone". They would have the athlete's review their performance in their mind down to the smallest detail, envisioning a successful execution or play. This boosted confidence, and it helped ensure a positive outcome in competition. Knowing this, you can use visualization to make your intentions for the new year, your business or your life a reality. Another way of...

As much as some women may balk at the notion, the way a woman looks in the business world, especially in the upper echelons, can make or break her career.
And, to a certain degree, the same is true of men.
Concentrating on the basic components of a workday wardrobe and saving money by taking a fresh look at what's already in your closet are two pieces...
Remember, these are the Six Steps Every Practitioner Needs to Take to create a Profitable Practice. It's about being authentic, heart-centered, and creating a practice that's sustainable and supports your chosen lifestyle.
1. Make a Decision
Let's be totally honest here.
Yes, you absolutely love helping other people feel better, but the truth is that your own well-being and the freedom and flexibility of your time is an underlying factor in becoming a holistic health or wellness practitioner. We all have our own journey or story about how we got here, and it's usually based on a personal struggle with health or the struggle of a loved one.
You completely understand the importance of a healthy...
A new client comes in, and the session is great.
At least you thought so, but she doesn't book a follow up appointment with you. So, as usual, you put your energy into finding as many new clients as possible with low-cost promotions, free samples at the mall or an event happening in your town, and big signage outside your office.
Let's face it. This is a never ending cycle of despair. All this work to keep your practice booked with new clients who often...
Does this resonate?
You are so excited and passionate about the healing benefits of your techniques that you often describe your practice by listing all of them to anyone who will listen. You are certain in your heart that anyone and everyone will get amazing results if they would just come for a session, so you make sure your marketing materials are inclusive for everyone.
How is that working for you?
It's probably not working super well, and that's because...
