Tell us your business name: Enlighten The Soul
How did you get started on your holistic journey? I was feeling in a rut and out of control. I stumbled into a “new age” shop while on my lunch. I do like the bling and shine so as I was looking at the jewelry, I noticed that the stones had a description with it about the metaphysical properties. I asked the clerk about it and that discussion sparked my interest into frequency, vibrations and energy. I was a sponge, learning as much as I could. Because I could sense the energy not only through my hands but other ways, it was suggested to me several times that I should look into Reiki. I spent several years where I would focus on Reiki and then set it down. In 2018 I meet a teacher that I just resonated with and a year later decided I would step out of my comfort zone.
What inspired you to start your business? I just stuck myself out there one time asking a business if they would have a need for a Reiki practitioner and although that fell through, I continued to stick myself out there.
What impact do you want to have on the community and people you work with? The impact I want to have on the community and people I work with is enlightenment and inspiration. I want people to be the best version of themselves and follow their dreams. I want to bring people together and spread more love, kindness and grace.
What core values are at the foundation of your work in the world? The core values of Enlightenment the Soul are to meet people where they are without judgement. To give people simple tools that they can incorporate in their busy lives. To help people get to the root of the issues to make lasting changes.
Please share some of your favorite holistic tips: Put your affirmations on your bathroom mirror so you can say them in the shower. Stack any new change you are wanting to start onto a current routine so that it sticks. [It might be referred to as stacking. If you want to start a new habit then it is more likely to stick if you tie it to something you currently do in your everyday routine. So an example would be if you wanted to start practicing more self love you would put your affirmation in bathroom and say while brushing teeth.
Fun fact – The stars in my logo is actually the scorpion constellation which is my sign.
