Who do you serve?

As I sat this morning preparing to write to you and let you in on how the new services I'm offering can help you get more fulfillment and success from your wellness practice, a timely email arrived in my inbox from Mark Silver (the author of Heart of Business). He wrote today about how a heart centered business is not so much about what you DO but about WHO YOU SERVE.

We talked about this topic back in August, about how clients choose practitioners based more on how they feel when they interact with their practitioner rather than their technique or modality alone. (Check out my article: Do you know what your gifts are?)

Personality, passion, and your message are the significant factors in attracting and keeping clients. They aren't searching so much for Reiki, Massage or Yoga as they are searching for someone who is enthusiastic and supportive about their goals for relief, elaxation, emotional healing, a feeling of being cared for and listened to, or increased well-being and peace.

Getting the clarity about WHAT your gifts are and WHO you serve with them, and then finding the inner COURAGE and CONFIDENCE to take the steps to bring your gifts to the world and help the people you are here to help is what Clearing your Path for Successis all about. This program shows you how to hone in on how and who you help best so that you can convey this to potential and current clients as you communicate with them in the office and with your marketing materials.

I think that you will benefit so much from this program, that I am giving a free workshop at my Grand Opening Celebration on November 3rd so you can get a taste for it without making a commitment. If you like what you experience at the freeworkshop, you may be ready for the 6 week Virtual Mastermind (fancy way of saying teleclass & online forum) that will follow!

You don't have to take my word for how beneficial this program can be, listen to what one of my clients has to say about her experiences:

Are you ready to check it out? Register here for the Grand Opening Celebration and Workshop on November 3rd. Please feel free to bring a friend! The party will start at 5:30pm, and the workshop will kick off at 6pm.

I want you to find the confidence, clarity and courage you need to practice from your heart! Check out the resources and free guided meditation available at the online Grand Opening Party on my website.

A you-and-me kind of world

Hello! How are you?

If you didn't get a chance to make it to my presentation Clearing your Path for Success at the Natural Living Expo two weekends ago, I'll be offering it again on the North Shore very soon. Stay tuned!

The Expo was fabulous, not only were the people who came through wonderful, I was blessed to be located in a wonderful corner of the Grand Ballroom with some genuinely positive and friendly individuals. I learned a lot from being in their presence all weekend. Their generosity with advice, support, and enthusiasm reminded me about the you-and-me kind of world where there is enough to go around that Lynne Swift talks about in her book The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of our Inner Resources.

Ms. Twist suggests approaching life from a you-and-me perspective instead of seeing it as a you-vs-me world.In this spirit of collaboration instead of competition, please join me and other heart-centered bodywork & wellness practitioners like yourself at the Tavern in the gorgeous Hawthorne Hotel this Weds at 7pm for mingling, support and encouragement. Bring your business cards, brochures, and any challenges or questions that are blocking you from thriving in an authentic flowing practice. Come meet other heart centered practitioners in the area to give and receive and be a part of our creative collaboration!


This networking/community event is free of charge and a fantastic opportunity to meet others walking a similar path and get answers to your most pressing questions about starting and growing your authentic practice. Bring a friend! The details are here: Heart Centered Practitioner's Meetup.

Be well!

How do you start your day?

Recently, I was asked what I think the single most important thing someone can do to maintain sanity, keep stress at a minimum and increase productivity when launching a business. While those starting a business have a unique set of stressors, we all have complicated lives in our own way, so my answer applies to everyone.

In my opinion, the single most important thing a person can do is to take some quiet "me" time every morning. This means not starting the day with checking your email, watching the news or yelling at your kids to hurry up. It means setting aside a few minutes just for you to relax before you start your morning routine or finding a way to incorporate it into your current routine such as listening to soothing music on your commute to work. Whether you play with your pet, just sit with your favorite beverage savoring the flavors, meditate, do yoga, go for a walk, look out over your garden, play music you enjoy, or reflect in a journal, making the time every morning to just be is a very simple way to maintain sanity and keep stress at bay.

First of all, these special moments just for yourself allow you to be fully present in your day so you can truly own and appreciate it. By making "me" time first thing, you claim your day, rather than it being claimed by the rat race or your obligations to everyone else day after day. In addition, this quiet time sets the tone for your day. If you start out peaceful and focused, chances are the rest of your day will follow suit. Whereas, if you start the day in a rush, frantic and running late, chances are the rest of the day is going to be fairly stressful too.

There is another benefit of spending time being every morning before you start doing all the things that need to be done in your day. The quiet time gives you the opportunity to let creative ideas gestate, solutions to be discovered, and inspiration to happen because your mind is open and receptive instead of preoccupied like when you are busy the rest of the day.
