We were lucky to catch up with Andrea Clem recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Andrea, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
I believe that we are each an individualized expression of the Divine, that we harness powers beyond what we can believe, and we have the ability to heal ourselves on all levels. Everything we need is inside of us, and through years (decades, centuries) of conditioning, we have forgot these powers, and our true connection with the Divine.
It is my hope that I am able to touch as many lives as possible, whether it is through my work or in my daily interactions, to help others realize how absolutely divine, powerful, and worthy they are. I want to be remembered as someone who genuinely cared, helped others and loved deeply with all her heart.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My journey to this work really began in 2017, during a very low point in my life. Seeking to find relief from depression and anxiety I began therapy and also started looking for tools to help quiet my mind from the many spiraling thoughts I experienced. I explored many modalities including meditation, EFT (tapping), various breathwork techniques, Qigong, and receiving energy and sound healings, all of which truly made a difference in my mental and emotional state.
The start of 2020 brought about a lot of change to my life. Besides COVID, which rocked everyone’s world, I also experienced the end of a long term relationship, and was completely burnt out at my job, which pushed me back into the depressed state. For years, my work as a CFO had taken up a large part of my life, and I felt that I was not the mom I wanted to be for my two boys. With all that was going on, and knowing that I needed to make a big change for my mental health, I decided that it was time to take a risk and quit my job to pursue something that would not only be impactful to others, but at that same time heal myself.
I began by completing a certification course to become a Conscious Parenting Coach through Dr. Shefali Tsbary, and then continued my education by receiving certifications in Sound Healing, crystal and chakra healing, AromaTouch Therapy, and receiving my attunements to become a Reiki Master/Teacher.
In 2022, I started The Way Home To You, LLC offering services such as intuitive energy healing, individualized and group sound healing and AromaTouch Therapy. I also create and sell essential oil blends and sprays. This year I have added energy coaching to my services to help support and guide others who are seeking a more spiritual and holistic way to reclaim their life and connect with their own divine selves.
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
Networking has been the most effective strategy for growing my business so far. Last year I joined an amazing woman’s entrepreneurial group called the Polka Dots. Not only have I received new clients through this group and through their referrals, I have also learned so much from these women and have created great friendships. I have done several collaborations with individuals from the group which has introduced my business to a larger audience, which I may not have reached before. I am continuing to explore other networking groups this year, including joining my local Chamber in hopes that the momentum continues.
We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.
For me it is all about building a relationship with my clients. I want to foster a space which is safe, non-judgmental and loving when they are with me, but I want that to continue once they have left. After every session I send a follow up email with tips and suggestions, but I also ask if it is ok to text or call to check on how they are feeling the following day. I let them know that they can reach out to me whenever with questions or to discuss something.
For my group sound baths, I prepare something written that the guests can take home with them that is centered around the theme of the event which is coupled with a crystal. Everyone likes little gifts, and I believe this has helped create the growing amount of returning clients that attend. At the end of each sound bath I let them know about upcoming events as well.
Last, I send out a monthly newsletter to my email subscribers as well as try to post daily on Facebook and Instagram and have a MeetUp Group to post all events and classes.
