Frequently Asked Questions.
What is Empowerment Alchemy?
Alchemy is the process of transformation. The journey of life. The blending together of all of the work of our mind, body and soul to turn our pain into peace. To truly do this work, I believe we need permission. We need to feel safe to touch in on the deepest parts of our souls. This is where the empowerment piece comes in. I want you to have permission to do things your way. To take this journey at your own pace. To alchemize yourself and your life through whatever practices I offer that speak to you. Empowerment Alchemy is the journey back to you.
Do you offer Dreamwork Sessions on their own?
Short answer, no. Longer answer, yes. My Individual Empowerment Alchemy sessions are open-ended so if you’re looking to focus on a single dream in a session, we can absolutely do that. To me, dreamwork IS Empowerment Alchemy. We are working to empower you to understand your dreams and the messages they bring to you every single night. Additionally, within this container, we are able to honor the dream and YOU in a much deeper capacity than we would simply focusing the work around a quick dream session. I have found that all of my dream-focused clients have benefited much more from doing dreamwork in this capacity.
Do your Business & Marketing Consulting offerings take the same approach?
You bet your bootie they do. I offer marketing, brand and business consulting through the same lens. I’m interested in finding the authentic reason behind what you and/or your company does. I want to assist in finding a way to expand your business and “share” your message in a way that is human, kind and empowering.
What is dreamwork?
Dreamwork is the study of your nighttime dreams. We believe these are the messages from your soul, your higher self. When you can connect to this inner guidance, and make changes in your waking life, your entire world can shift for the good. Dreams also connect you to a higher power which we believe is one of the primary benefits.
I’m a big corporation, why would I want to hire someone like you?
I have extensive experience in marketing and branding for large-scale companies and businesses. To name a few: Specialized Bicycles, GoPro, Chrome Industries, Bell Helmets, FOX Factory Inc. I’ve seen what’s worked, I’ve seen what hasn’t and I’ve come to my own conclusions and methods on how I believe I can support brands at this scale. I believe we must start thinking different. I think out-of-the-box. I want to bring back the human nature to your brand and find a way to authentically share that with the world. I believe this is what will change the face of marketing. I have a team of incredible specialists that I work with that I can pull in whenever we need specific marketing or business expertise/management.
What are your rates and how do you charge?
I have poured myself into my own education, learning and experience. I honor this in myself and I feel that reflects in my rates. Individual Empowerment Alchemy coaching is charged on a 75min session basis.
For Marketing & Business Offerings, I work on an hourly consulting model or consulting/management retainers. As for project-based work, I would need to determine your needs and the hours required along with my set rates to be able to let you know! One thing you can count on is that I do my best to be flexible when possible and want to do good work for good people. If you’re operating under a budget, you’re always welcome to come back to me with that amount and I’ll see what we can do.
I feel adverse to marketing. What is your take on it?
Marketing isn’t really even a word I’d choose to continue to use except for the fact it is what we know best. At it's core, I believe marketing is sharing. Taking your beautiful business, brand or offering and making it reflect back the personal nature of you and/or your team. When we are able to present our gifts in this way, I believe customers and clients can feel it. This is how we become successful.
What does it mean to be “embodied” and why is it important?
To be embodied is to be present within your body. There is incredible wisdom and safety that comes from this. Our body is an incredible consort for the entirety of our life and is here to house our soul. When we decide to be present and conscious with it, it can guide us to our wildest dreams. All this said, it can be very challenging for many of us to be present within our bodies. Trauma and modern day society call us away, deeming the body unsafe. When we can recreate connection, we reconnect to ourselves, our own inner wisdom and are able to discern what’s best for us moving forward in all areas of life.
What are somatics and the nervous system?
The somatic body is the energy body. We are made of energy along with the rest of the world. How we work with this energy can have incredible repercussions on our autonomic nervous system. So much information lives here and it has a lot to do with how we are able to regulate ourselves between our parasympatheic (rest and restore) and sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous systems. Our work seeks to create awareness around these systems so that you can learn to balance yourself no matter what comes your way. When we make choices and decisions from a grounded, regulated place, we are able to react in a conscious way rather than respond in a disconnected way. This can have a profound impact on your life and those around you and in relationship to you.
