I built a website, printed business cards and took every opportunity to share what I did when I was asked. This worked a little but it wasn't creating the flow of work I wanted. I felt overwhelmed at the prospect of business, marketing, etc.

I knew when I spoke with Julie about my work and my vision.  I could literally taste the reality and success of it. She had the capacity to hold it as not only possible or probable, but obvious! And, it was clear that she had the experience and knew the steps I needed to take. With her, it felt so simple.

1. I loved that I could watch the Thriving Healers training videos a thousand times if i needed to.... and on my own timing. I could stop and rewind and write down every word that resonated and rang true. I also loved that I would have access to them forever.

 

2. I loved the business training calls with Julie because she taught me to create my practice from the inside out....my integrity got to be the absolute center of each decision and creation. This was core in my confidence to talk about what i did. My integrity was what built my practice, at no time was that compromised. Any success was a direct result of my alignment with my self and my work as each step was taken to communicate and work with real people and real problems. Integrity was essential in Thriving Healers. Also, Julie made the scary and overwhelming business of business SIMPLE and doable. The steps were broken into bite sized pieces and any questions or fears I had were always answered and relieved by either her expertise or her healing skills.

 

3. The process work with Jonathon was ESSENTIAL to me moving through my fears and blocks about business....ie; claiming my own expertise, being seen in my power and my fears around failure...just to name a few. Through Jonathon's guidance, I worry less about whether I am good enough and spend more time remembering both that I AM.... AND.... I don't have to be.  Instead I rest in Source, Self and my willingness to show up and be a tool in God's hands. Additionally, his ability to clear and process blocks that come up with my clients is phenomenal. It served my supervision needs as a healer and this continues to build my container for my clients.

 

4. Another critical piece of the program for me was the group component. Anytime a fellow healer brought a question or problem to the group, I resonated and grew from their personal sharing and learning. Often I would think, "That is exactly what I needed to ask or hear." I didn't always know what to ask or have a burning issue, but it didn't matter.  Each persons issues were related to healing and business building, not to mention the task of being a human. I ALWAYS learned and grew from the group's needs. It was a places I felt effortlessly held and safe in community...which is healing in itself.

Julie helped me take the right steps in the right way so that I could build my practice with integrity, which allows me an ever deepening connection with self and others. This effects how I hold myself and my work as I speak about what I do and how I can be of service to clients. She helped me organize the words that clearly communicate who I am and what I do so that clients can already feel the strong and safe container of working with me. I did not have to waste time or wonder what to do differently. I had the strong and well structured container of the program and her expertise and heart guiding me. I loved the feeling of confidence I had moving forward in my work and my life - building my practice.

I met my income goals and continue to expand them.

 

I feel full and excited, fulfilling my purpose this life.

 

I am growing personally and professionally as a direct result of the Thriving Healers program, expanding into new territories of myself as I take the steps to grow my practice in new ways. As soon as a goal is reached, a new one makes itself known and I have the skills and confidence to keep moving forward. I tend to push my way through scary situations and circumstances.

 

Julie and Jonathon have helped me learn to grow with greater ease and grace. Instead of me "doing" all the business things....I get to experience my work growing ME which feels more effortless and supportive. I am learning to take in the support that already exists rather than believing I have to "do it all" myself.

 

Thriving Healers is not just a business journey, it is a Soul journey.

Julie's steps make you EFFICIENT, your time and energy are not misdirected or misplaced. This forward motion makes you an EFFECTIVE force in your practice, the world and your own life.

 

Julie and Jonathon realize that growing a business is a healing journey in itself and treat it and you as such. It is a multi-dimensional growth experience, not a dry list of things you should do.

1. Eat, breathe, and dream Julie's Enrollment Conversation. It is the cornerstone of your success in easily signing new clients for the rest of your life! 2. Supervision! Do your personal process work ALWAYS and get regular supervision around your work with your own clients. 3. You don't have to do it alone. Independence is not doing it all BY yourself, It is doing it all FOR yourself. That includes calling on your resources. (I think that is a Jonathon quote!) You are worth what it takes to get the support you need, and the world needs what you got!

I had completed my certification in Transpersonal Energy Healing at The Lionheart Institute. After graduation I had the opportunity to attend one of Julie's workshops, "How To Build Your Healing Business." It was during that workshop I knew I wanted to be a part of Thriving Healers.  Julie presented a clear roadmap of what steps I needed to take to build a successful healing practice. Julie was kind enough to schedule a Clarity Session with me after her workshop where we could get clear on my needs for the future.  She took her time and listened to all of my fears and concerns in starting my new career.  This is where I realized I had a big block in knowing how to market myself and put my work out into the world in an authentic way.  The shift in perspective she gave me in relationship to marketing was a game changer!  I no longer felt icky when approaching how to "sell myself".  Marketing no longer felt like sales, it was now an opportunity to serve my ideal clients in their deepest needs.

 

My first big win with Thriving Healers was learning the enrollment conversation. I had quit my job so I needed to book clients fast. Julie suggested skipping ahead to Module 4 and having enrollment conversations with potential clients. I got super excited and called 20 colleagues in my design network that might be interested in booking a "Clarity Session". I started by offering a package of 6 sessions for $900. I booked 5 clients and made $4500 in the first 2 weeks! The enrollment conversation was the missing link I needed to connect with clients in a deep way and make an offer that supported their needs.

 

Within the first year of Thriving Healers I was able to build my transformational program and I'm now consistently enrolling clients for a 6 month commitment at $3,000. My group meets once a week on Zoom and I am well on my way to earning more than I did in my old career and working WAY LESS. If you told me then that I could make a sustainable living and only work 1 day a week I would have said "yeah right."

 

I now have the free time I need to implement real self care and think big on where and how I'd like to grow my practice. I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and my schedule allows me to care for her with out the need for outside child care. I have the energy to be fully present with my clients and I feel grounded in my commitment to supporting them through their healing journey.

My all time favorite aspect of this program is the support I've gained from Julie, Jonathan and the healers I've been in groups with.  I now feel that I am a part of a healing community and I have made life long friendships with people on a similar spiritual path.

1. Package your sessions and/or create a transformational program. Your client will receive more from the work with their commitment. It's not a sustainable business model to do one time sessions with clients.

 

2. Find your niche, you will attract more clients if you focus on a specific problem you are uniquely qualified to solve.

 

3. It's ok to say no, you don't have to work with clients if they are not the right fit for you. Taking on clients who are outside of your scope of practice or not your "ideal client" can cause issues like burn out, and unneeded stress.

I worked with another healer, a former Barbara Brennan teacher, that was going to teach me how to bring in clients and market myself...  The premise of the course, as I interpreted it, was how to market and talk about myself at social gatherings. My difficulty was that I do not spend a lot of my free time at cocktail parties or dinner parties, that had my ideal client at them. I also was being taught how to market to all people not a particular niche. It left my elevator speech very broad and left me not feeling like I was connecting into how to market myself... It did give me the confidence to raise my session fee from $90 to $110.

After Julie spend the time on two calls to answer all my questions and Jonathan talked to me on a 3rd call. I had felt I could have a successful healing business and the fact that they were doing it showed me it was possible. The biggest a-ha for me was that they were both associated with the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, in some respects, and were being successful in their work, outside of the school...

The top three features I love about Thriving Healers are:

1. I love the format of the modules working from what is important to me towards what do I offer and who do I offer it to. The module puts me first and from there I build a thriving business. What's important for me to do next, as opposed to what do people need me to do...

2. Our supervision group sessions incorporates and shifts my business fears and limited beliefs.

3. I love working with two healers that have learned how to serve from a place of win-win.

The specific problems that Thriving Healers addressed were:

I have learned that I can be a successful, prosperous Energy Healer with out compromising my integrity or belittling my value!! If I value myself I can teach my clients to value themselves!!

I learned to make a living doing what I love and that my offerings can evolve as I grow in my work!

My big AHA moment came during a complimentary Strategy Session with Julie. It's where we got to explore my vision and longing to bring my work into the world. I felt really supported in that one call and also validated that I was ready and capable to bring my gifts to others who need it.

The top three features I love about Thriving Healers are:

 

1. The community of support I receive from my fellow cohort members, along with the larger group in our Facebook page.

 

2. The clear map and template that supports building my practice step-by-step.

 

3. The experienced and compassionate guidance we receive from Julie & Jonathan

The specific problems that Thriving Healers addressed were:

 

Who are my clients?

 

Where do I find them?

 

How do I charge them?

 

How much should I be charging for my work?

 

These seem pretty basic, but are incredibly useful.

The big wins I experienced:

 

1. Generating a monthly income through my healing work.

 

2. Within the first few months with Thriving Healers I increased my income by 40+% when I sold my first 6 month high-end package.

 

3. I am able to work from home where I've created my healing office and thus balance work/home responsibilities (I'm a mom of 3).

 

4. I've absolutely gotten more creative and clear in my offerings through marketing, blog writings and free-classes which speak to my ideal clients. I feel really strong in my offerings now and very fluent in how I translate those offerings through intimate and supportive conversations with potential clients. Those conversations have been transformational just by themselves.

The single biggest reason I recommend Julie and Jonathan is that their program works if you just follow each next step on the path as it becomes clear and aligned with your work and who you really are.

1. Stay the course! Even through inevitable resistance--it's there for a reason to help you meet your next edge and show up more fully for your clients.
