We recently connected with Siri Wieringa and have shared our conversation below.
Siri , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
The journey to my business began from experience that I had while at college, ski racing for Westminster University. While most Freshman were studying and partying, my life took a different path.
I remember waking up in the hospital, IV”s attached to both arms, wondering “where am I??”
As it turned out, I had taken a really bad crash in our ski race, causing me to be life flighted to the nearest hospital due to a traumatic head injury.
Western Medicine had saved my life, but also left me with little resources for becoming well upon leaving the hospital. I was unable to walk, nerve damage affecting my entire left side, had severe short term memory loss, and emotions that were through the roof. The doctors advised that I check out of school, and hoped that in a few years I would be well.
Thankfully my parents were open and able to pursue support for me through alternative medicine, and I began a journey down a road of healing experiencing everything from Acupuncture, Massage, Chiropractic, Light Therapy, Energy Healing and beyond. With each session I began to feel lighter, more like myself, and clearer. My body began to recover, and I started to be able to access myself again.
Now looking back, I know that crash was a fated one, helping my soul to go through the process of healing so that I could help others as well. I am now a clearer human being than I ever had been before that crash, and have witnessed the body’s powerful ability to heal when given the correct support.
As the years went by, I began to feel drawn into learning more about healing modalities to help continue my own healing. Then, that healing slowly shifted to helping my friends and family, and after `10 years of supporting those that I love, I started my own practice facilitating healing for others.
Intention by Design LLC was formed to help my clients to receive education and tools to access their potential, so that they can lead their most empowered life. It has been such a powerful, and amazing journey supporting others in coming back to their light, and helping to support their body back into full functioning.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
All of us, and everything around us is energy. The world of Energy Medicine helps us all to understand how to better help our personal energy to run at its highest functioning, how to have better energetic interactions with each other, and how to connect to our light within us. I believe that all of us have the capacity to heal our imbalances on our own given enough time, but through my modalities, the healing process is faster, and filled with hope.
I offer clients the opportunity to receive tools to access their potential, and to be fully seen and heard in their healing journey. I create a pathway for their wellbeing that is nurturing, supportive, and filled with so many aha’s related to the patterns of why they haven’t been able to heal until this point.
I am most proud of my ability to hold space for clients while they are in the depths of trying to figure out how to feel better. Whether a client can’t sleep, has anxiety, feels stuck, has no energy, has an injury that isn’t healing… I offer solutions for them to come back to their light and full functioning for good.
I offer 1-on-1 Energy Balancing Sessions, Human Design Readings for individuals, couples or families, and Breathwork Sessions.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I really believe in always putting out the best product I can, and offering the highest quality of service I can produce. This means that I must take extremely good care of myself, and that I put as much intention and care into every single session that I offer a client that I can. Clients know they get the highest care possible when they are with me, and that has created a strong referral base and reputation in this industry.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
How to run a business is typically taught in a very specific way, but as the years have gone by running a business, I have learned that it is so important to run one in your own unique way. Our bodies, our instinct, and our intuition are always communicating with us, so it is very important that we take the time out of the “hussle” of business, to get quiet and listen to the next right steps our body is leading us. We must trust the insights we gain from what our soul and body are trying to tell us, even if they don’t make logical steps to the everyday business owner.
