For Holistic Healers in Search of a Career That Energizes You, Fills You With Joy, Makes An Impact, and Boosts Your Income.
What is a holistic healer? The answer--if you resonate with that title and think you are one, then you are, no matter the technique(s) that you use. Simple as that.
Now that we've established that, I have a very important question for you: Whether you are a newly-minted holistic healer just finishing your training or a 10 year veteran, what is your vision for the career of your dreams? One that brings you alive, makes a difference, and fills your bank account.
If you don’t (yet) have an answer to that question, then you are short-changing yourself and the world.
Now take a deep breath...and consider these questions:
🔺As a holistic healer, you nourish your clients with your empathic presence and your work, but are you feeling nourished? Or are you feeling drained at the end of your work day?
🔺Is money a constant struggle?
🔺Do you find yourself accommodating your clients, going that extra mile for them, then resenting it afterward?
🔺You're clear that you are in the right field, you love the pure act of serving; but is there some nagging sense of dissatisfaction and restlessness about your work life, even if you don't know what it is or where it comes from?
🔺Is there a different path that calls to you but you're scared of change and stuck in a rut and just can't get yourself to take action on the things that are calling to you?
🔺Worse, are you drifting through your work life without ever giving time and attention to your deepest career dreams and passions?
🔺If you're doing your work full time, is it satisfying and sustainable? Or would you like to move to part time and add in a different income stream?
🔺If you work for someone else, do you dream of opening your own practice but you can't imagine how you'd make that work?
If you answered yes to any of the above, take heart. You are not alone, and you have way more options than you know. You absolutely can create a career that lights you up and deeply satisfies all aspects of you-body, mind, emotions, spirit, and finances. But you won't find the career that you seek by looking outside of yourself for answers. The way forward is within you.
For the new practitioners among us, you may not yet have answers to the questions posed above. But the most important question is still relevant: What is your vision for a career that you would love? Consider this question now and take action in the direction of your dream career, so you can avoid the pitfalls that many healers find themselves in.
"Ignite" Career Clarity Coaching & Healing Program
Ignite Your Inner light, Build Your Dream CareerAs I shared in my bio, I struggled greatly during my 26-year healing career, and I am deeply passionate about using my struggles and suffering, my victories and my healing, to empower other healers. To help them have a different experience than I had. So I've called upon all of my life experience and training as a healer, teacher of healers, Licensed Acupuncturist, Multi-Dimensional Healer, and Transformational Life Coach; blended it together with a lifetime of my own deep inner work; and created the Ignite program just for holistic healers who want to create the career of their dreams.
This program is a deep dive into your inner relationship with your work life~your thoughts, feelings, core beliefs, wounds, programming, and patterns as well as your longings, desires, brilliance, power, and ineffable callings. The end result is to ignite the flame within your core and clear a path toward a career that brings you alive. A career that is authentically you.
Now, I won't deny it--exploring our inner world can be daunting because we are intentionally turning toward the painful places within us. But what's the alternative? To drift though life, never truly embracing the work life that sparks joy in your heart and provides the money that you need? No! A bit of inner work goes a long way. Yes, it stings and bites, but rising from the pain is a brilliant light--your brilliant light-- and I promise you, it's worth the effort. And the way is eased when done with Quantum Kindness.
What is Quantum Kindness ®? Quantum Kindness® is a grand tapestry of divine consciousness that holds all things with unconditional kindness, including human frailty and suffering. It is at the core of our essential nature. As humans, we cannot grasp this level of kindness with our minds alone, but we can feel it in our bodies and allow it to touch our lives. And in so doing, we are healed and transformed. So, as we explore our work life, we call upon Quantum Kindness to soften the landing.
The Benefits of The "Ignite" Program

Work For Love or Money~My Story.
Here is my (very abbreviated) story around work, see if you can relate: I was raised in middle-class America, where work was a thing that I had to do to earn a living. It didn’t matter whether or not I enjoyed it, whether or not it was a true expression of my gifts. Money was all that mattered.
Fast forward to my 30s, when I began my holistic healing career by becoming an MT. This was work that I loved and it was a true expression of my gifts. But my subconscious programming that work was just for money did not change. I did not know that I could actually love my work, shine Love into the world, AND make money. So, though I was in a profession that I loved, I felt this nagging undefined inner conflict. And from that conflict, I created financial stress and work drudgery.
It was a revelation when I finally learned that love and work were not in conflict, except in my mind. I am still unraveling this distorted thinking. But I am here to tell you that you absolutely can create a career that emanates from your heart and soul, brings light to the world, and boosts your income, all at the same time.
So as an act of Love for all the blessed holistic healers who struggle in their work lives, I have created a 4-step process to help you unwind the knot(s) that keep you stuck; to stand with you while you heal your relationship to work and move toward the career of your dreams.
The Structure of the "Ignite" Coaching & Healing Program
In this program, you will have the opportunity to see yourself and your work life in a new light; to approach your struggles with kindness, perhaps for the first time. And, in the group setting, to feel the support of other like-minded souls who also struggle in their own way.
We do this by exploring the following 4 stages of transformation. What I call The Transformation Spiral.
Stage #1: Waking Up (Start Where You Are)
You have become aware of some longing or discontent in your work life. You get a tap on your shoulder, a whisper in the night, a nudge in your heart. If you don’t listen, it becomes a tightness in your gut–-or, if you’re like me, a psychic 2 x 4 on the side of your head!
This is the part of you calling you to awaken and grow in your career. Sometimes you know what career growth looks like: a different job, a private practice, more training, joining a team, reducing or increasing your hours spent serving clients, or honoring other callings in addition to healing. And sometimes you simply feel a nagging desire for something else in your work life, even if you don’t yet know what that “something" is.
Through dialogue, inquiry, and tuning in, we turn up the volume of your awareness about your work life, so you have greater clarity about what's working and what's not.
Stage #2: New Horizons: Imagine Your Future
In stage #2, we dream up a career that you would truly love. I lead you through a step-by-step process for crafting and receiving a vision for a work life that aligns with your deepest desires, your most authentic self. This process is much more than simple goal-setting and even goes beyond your conscious thoughts about what you want your career to look like. Those are important parts of creating a vision, but to stop there is to leave out a world of possibility.
This is because we humans are many-layered multi-dimensional beings. And what we know about our lives is limited and laced with distorted thinking--"I should do this, I want to do that." The truth is that what we know pales in comparison to what is hidden from us. Thus, goal-setting and conscious thoughts of your ideal career are great; but, we also seek to uncover what is hidden within you. What is calling to you. This may take you in a direction that you never expected. It can be illuminating and magical!
The first step in vision creation? Asking yourself, "What would I love in my work life?" Not, "What do I think is realistic?" or "I'd like this but how would I ever make that happen?" or “I’m not worthy of that.” Simply, "What would I truly love my work life to look like?"
Try it right now. Sit quietly, take a deep breath, and ask yourself, "What would I love in my work life?" See what comes.
By itself, crafting and receiving a vision for the career of your dreams can transform your work life! But we don’t stop there. Once we have crafted and refined your vision, we create an action plan that you will use to bring that vision into your reality. This plan is clear, grounded, and filled with inspired and practical action steps. Because the only way to go from one place in life to another is to...
Stage #3: Embracing the Great Divide
This stage bridges the gap from where you are now in your dissatisfying work life to where you want to be—your vision for a career that emanates from your deepest self, fills you with joy, and meets all of your needs.
This is often the most challenging step because it shines a light on the places in you that block you from the career of your dreams. Places that are in truth in need of healing. This is where Quantum Kindness© is essential. I will elaborate a bit more on this stage, as it is the stage that most people try to skip. Understandable, as this stage can get uncomfortable!
Because, as strong as your longing for career growth may be, there are equally strong parts of you resisting growth. You may find yourself thinking, "Why can't I stop procrastinating and just start my own practice?" Or "Why do I keep giving clients more time than they paid for? What’s wrong with me?!"
The truth is, there's nothing wrong with you. It's not weakness or a lack of will power.
It may be that this resistance emanates from the fearful parts of your mind; parts that long for safety and rescue. They likely originated in your past (and may even be part of a generational pattern-dysfunctions that began in past generations and are now part of your life); they remain hidden in the shadows of your subconscious mind and in the tissues of your body.
The truth is that you have needed these parts; they are part of your humanity, and they have helped you in life. I know it's hard to believe but put it to the test right now. Take 3 deep breaths and, just for a moment, decide to withhold self-judgment and be open, honest, and curious. Now ask yourself, "How has this (resistance, procrastination, etc.) helped me in life?" And see what comes to you. You may be surprised.
The thing is, these parts use lots of your life energy to do their job, whatever it may be. And you use lots of your life energy fighting & resisting these parts of yourself. This is energy that you could be using to create the career of your dreams.
That happens when these parts are finally seen, heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. With Quantum Kindness. Then they can re-unite with the rest of you and add their considerable energy to the business of career growth and the creation of a work life aligned with who you really are and what you truly want.
Take one more moment now and ask yourself: “What it would be like to stop fighting myself? To simply let myself be?” For me, the feeling of relief & relaxation is profound!
This is the stage where you really benefit from support, as it requires others to gently point out your blind spots, walk alongside you in uncomfortable places, and encourage you to go deeper than you would on your own. (And, in truth, if you could do it on your own, you probably would have done it by now.)
This stage calls for courage, honesty, self-exploration, and radical self-kindness. And as much as you might want to, you cannot skip this uncomfortable stage! Without it, you will continue on the treadmill of your life, as your soul longs for career growth and your humanity holds you back.
As healer, coach, and teacher and someone who is quite familiar with the daunting prospect of change, I will be right by your side throughout this, and every, stage as you move toward the career of your dreams. And, in a group, so will the members of your cohort!
Stage #4: Living Your Vision Everyday—Integration, Accountability, Momentum, and SustainabilityIn stage #2, we crafted a soul-driven vision for a work life that you would love. And we created a practical and inspired action plan to help you bring your vision into your reality.
In stage #4, we add to that plan. We include what you have learned about yourself in stage #3 to design activities and practices that you can use to keep yourself on track and build momentum. Practices such as journaling, meditation, breathing, asking yourself the right questions, and more. Note: No one practice is right for everyone. You may not resonate with meditation or journaling, so they would not be part of your plan. We will design activities that are right for you.
This step is essential because the truth is that lasting change is hard for most people. Creating a vision and an action plan are bold and magical steps that few people ever take; but how will you integrate them into your life? How will you stay committed and accountable to yourself so that when the obstacles inevitably rise up, you can meet them with courage, strength, and Quantum Kindness and move past them and continue on the path toward your vision?
Through regular practices and activities, you keep your vision and your stuckness in your sight and decide each day which one you will listen to. You build momentum one day at a time, until one day, your vision is your life, and the career of your dreams is your reality.
This is a journey of healing and transformation which combines inner exploration and outer action to help you create a fuller, richer, deeper, work life.
Winding Around The Transformation Spiral
We humans are not linear beings. On the Transformation Spiral we move up and down, in and out, backward and forward throughout our days.
This means that, in our work together, we will move through the different stages of transformation as the moment dictates. Sometimes we will be in stage #2, then move back to stage #1, then jump to stage #4. Sometimes we will spend more time in stage #3. And onward we go. It’s an organic process like a flower that opens and closes. This process is not always easy, but the payoff can be huge, as it offers the possibility of lasting transformation. The career that is calling to you. One that you love.
What Actually Happens In This Program?
Ignite is not just about sitting and talking. This is a highly experiential program with a specific intent: To empower you to create a work life that lights you, impacts the world, and fills your coffers. Drawing from my decades as a healer and a seeker of my own healing, I have created the Quantum Kindness® process, which utilizes the following practices to stimulate dreaming, healing, and creating a career that you love!
❤Self-inquiry. I will facilitate deep discussion and ask powerful questions to bring you to a new level of awareness about your career.
❤Listening to your body. Our bodies are powerful guidance systems for our lives. Our bodies are where our lives happen, right here, right now! Learning to listen to your body is an essential and very powerful tool. Thus, throughout our meetings, I will regularly ask you to notice what you are feeling in your body as we explore your work life.
❤Crafting and receiving a vision for the work life that you would love.
❤Guiding you as you create an inspired action plan which you will use to create the work life of your dreams.
❤Activating your light body (spiritual aspects of you) by using sacred geometry, balancing your chakras (energy centers in the body), and raising your vibration. You may ask, "What does all this have to do with my work life?" The answer: Everything.
❤Exploring the shadow—the parts of us that we hide, deny or resist. Especially the root cause of why we ignore our needs for the benefit of others, what I have come to know as a desire to rescue others. This includes generational patterns in our family lines. There is great power hidden in the shadow.
❤Breathing with intention. Of all the tools that I've explored, breathwork is among the most powerful.
❤Balancing the nervous system, which calms your fears and gives you more freedom to take inspired action.
❤Quantum Jumping: Going backward in time to bless your past self and/or forward in time to learn from your future self.
❤Leading you through meditations and activities to explore other aspects of your multi-dimensional life.
❤Meeting you with kindness.
❤Gently challenging you inward and forward.
❤Respecting you as the highest authority of your life.
You will discover new ways of seeing yourself and your work life. You will find the power that already lives within you. The kindness and courage to change your career, which will impact every aspect of your life.
Should You Join a Small Group or Do This 1~1?
This is a good question. Let's explore them both.
🔹Small Group setting
Bring to mind a time when you have come together in harmony with another person or group toward a shared goal. Energy is high, creativity flows, and everyone feels supported. Ideas and inspiration may come spontaneously out of nowhere.
That 'nowhere' arises from the power of the group. This is a perfect example of the idea that "the whole is more than the sum of its parts." Simply put, when two or more people come together in harmony, focus, and a shared intention, magic is not only possible—it is inevitable!
In a group setting, Ignite is a gathering of people seeking support and change, just as you are. With me as experienced guide, this community of massage therapists will tap into Group Magic to find clarity, camaraderie, support, and inspiration.
Pros: You benefit from the Group Energy, and the investment is lower (see below).
Cons: You don't get as much personal attention.
🔹1~1 Work
If you choose to work with me 1~1, you get my undivided attention. We dive deeply into your work life and unearth the hidden diamonds within.
Pros: You get 100% of my attention
Cons: You don't benefit from Group magic and the investment is higher.
Maybe: It's possible that you would go farther, faster in the 1~1 setting, but that is not a given. It depends upon how you process best.
Whether you choose to join a group or do this program 1~1, I promise you a transformational experience. But, ultimately, only you can decide which setting is right for you. If you're on the fence, I would be happy to discuss this with you, either by email or on a 30-minute Complimentary Discovery Session on Zoom. I promise you, this is not a sales call, just a conversation.
Why I Am Equipped to Lead The "Ignite" Program
I have traveled the long and winding path of personal growth & transformation for many decades, and I know how lonely, confusing, and painful it can be. I deeply understand the frustration that arises when some parts of us long to grow while other parts of us demand to stay the same, in any area of our lives. This can be maddening and lead to extreme self-judgment. At times, I have truly been my own worst enemy, which has been the greatest pain of all.
And ignoring my own needs for the benefit of others; this rescue energy; has been a hallmark of my life. I have come to understand that this need arises out a profound desire to be rescued myself.
The answer to all of this is radical, extreme Quantum Kindness©. Kindness for all parts of us—for the small parts which hide in fear from the career of our dreams; and the bigger parts which burn bright with possibility.
Nitty Gritty Details
If you are interested in working with me 1~1, we can start any time.
If you are interested in joining a group, the next cohort starts on Friday, January 17, 2025 and meets for 8 Fridays from 1:00 pm until 2:30 pm central time. The last meeting will be March 7th, and we will meet weekly on Zoom.
Investment or Cost?If you've read this far, you are clearly intrigued, or more. Maybe you feel a pleasant burning in your gut, the buzz of inspiration in your chest, and a "Yes!" in your mind.
And now we come to the money, the sticking point where so many dreams go to die. You may be thinking, "This sounds great, but how much is this going to cost me?" As if that alone should dictate your actions.
Believe me, I understand this thinking! Of course, finances matter; if you can't pay rent or buy food, then this is not the right time to enroll in this program.
But, I invite you to broaden your horizons. Instead of seeing it as a cost, see this program as an investment, in your present wellbeing and future earning power. When's the last time you really tended to your own needs and invested in yourself?
So, rather than simply ask "What's it going to cost me?" ask instead: "What is the investment? What can I gain from this program?" And, most important, "What is the cost if I don't do it?" More months--or years--of misery?
Here is the investment to enroll in my 8-session "Ignite" Career Clarity" Coaching & Healing Program:
Group Program......................$697
1~1 Work...............................$997
Note: If you have graduated from a holistic healing school or program with the last 12 months, you get a 30% discount. Click here for more on this.
No doubt, you invested way more than that on your education. This is your opportunity to maximize that investment and create the career that you would truly love.
Here's What You Get For Your Investment
This Program is a Beta Offering
What does “beta offering” mean? Well, I’ve been teaching, healing, and coaching for many years but I've never led this particular program before. I have a sense that it will be powerful, but since I haven't done it before, this first time through will be an exchange.
This means that I will give you everything that I have—my presence, my practices, my experience, and my kindness; and in exchange, you give me feedback. Before, during, and after each meeting, I will ask you to share with me what is working and what could be improved. And I will use your feedback to improve the program.
And because it is a Beta Offering, it means that the investment to join this program now is lower than it will be in the future.
Are You Ready?
At this point, you may be thinking to yourself, “Yes, I am stuck and frustrated in my work life. And I do need some help to put myself into the center of my own life so that I can create the career that I really want.” Or "Yes, I want to step and be proactive, so I can avoid the common pitfalls that many healers fall into."
And you may be asking yourself, “Is this the right program for me?”
Like transformation itself, this process is not for the faint of heart. To join and succeed, you must have:
If you possess these qualities, then you will absolutely thrive in the Ignite program! And it may be the catalyst for the change that you seek.
Let's Connect
If you feel a spark of interest in all that you have read, and you have questions, then follow that spark and reach out to me. You are welcome to email me (click here) with questions, but you and I must have a face-to-face conversation over Zoom before you enroll in this program so that we can determine if it is a good fit for you at this time. Click here to schedule a complimentary 30-minute Discovery Session with me and let's talk. I promise you that this is not a sales tactic. It's simply a conversation, a way for me to be of service to you.
Whether you choose to join me or not, please know this: Transformation is 100% possible in every moment, and you absolutely do not have to live out your work days in frustration and discontent. You can learn to tend to your own needs so that you can create the career that your heart & soul are calling for.
A Word About Your Power
You are more powerful than you think you are. Yes, you. Take a moment. Take a deep breath. Feel the power and energy that rise in you just from one breath. Now, consider this quote from Marianne Williamson's book "A Return To Love":
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do."
It's time for you to Ignite your inner light, show up, and be brilliant in your work life. The world needs you. You need you. This transformational program can help.
