"Saying yes to the practitioner certification was equal parts terrifying and inevitable. Deep down in my core I knew it was a "just do it", even though I am the woman who needs the research, the data, the logical case before she commits to anything. And the logical case for certifying in something that works at the subconscious level is not a straightforward one to make or explain to others!!!

But I said yes because I watched this work change me in places I had been trying to change consciously for years.

The women I work with are high-achieving, deeply capable women who have lost themselves in a chronic illness, motherhood and/or careers. They have tried thinking their way through it, pushing their way though and they are still stuck and need access to tools that they don't even know exist to them.

I can't wait to have the tools to take my clients from "I am my diagnosis" or "I am only valuable when I am holding everyone else together" to "I control the narrative in my body and I'm ok".

I rebuilt myself and I know they can do the same."

Why I said Yes to the Institute:

I came into this work because I was curious and quite honestly, a bit skeptical. I am a researcher by trade, an over analyzer, and I can consciously think of 10,000 reasons something should or shouldn't be done. Ironically, my body had already made the decision for me when it overrode every single, "this won't work for you and I still said, yes."

I have spent years performing at the highest level, leading in boardrooms and holding everyone else together and I was so good at it that it made me sick. I took a step back and realized I needed to shift something in my life and made a career change. As a new entrepreneur, I was in uncharted territory and knew I needed help. This is where Brittany fell into my lap.

We started working together doing individual sessions. At first it was a quiet shift, (like a loosening) that allowed me to see there is a vision that was very clouded. It slowly became louder and more clear the more work we've done together. I can look back at moments of tension over the past years with a different lens. One with appreciation, gratitude and grace where before I saw them as moments of hardship or frustration.

From a business perspective, I am no longer building it from fear (fear of not being enough, fear of not being credentialed enough, fear that my experience isn't worth charging for.) I'm leaning in towards making realistic, yet aligned decisions. I have even gone so far as to re-evaluate portions of my business that don't serve me and dissolved them with the confidence that it is the right decision. This has surprised me as this new lens sees with clarity, not failure. It's a lens I didn't know I could access. 

I am still in the middle of my own "unlocking". But I know who I am now in a way I couldn't have told you a year ago and my body knows it too.
