We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Brittney Witt a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Brittney thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

For me, a most defining moment in my career path was when self discovery and healing lead me back to my voice. I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for 11 years and a Reiki healer for 6. All my life I’ve seen the depth of things. My curious mind and yearning heart have always been my challenge but my gift in this life. I always have had the love to learn new things and to discover depths that haven’t been reached, especially about the things that bring me closer to my heart. I experienced a huge turning point in my life about 5 years ago where I had an NDE( near death experience) and in the process of almost losing my own life, I lost someone close to me…I no longer walked through life the same. I continued with my massage career but something was missing. I have always loved helping others in their healing journey but it no longer spoke to me the same. I felt like a new person who came back to a life that wasn’t hers. This beautiful force in my life was guiding me to a bigger driving force…like the ocean draws you to the shore. Fast forward a couple of years later when the pandemic hit and everything was shutting down.. i was given a huge gift… the gift of rediscovery. I was blessed to rest without working for 2 months. This silence period where I could observe. Who had I become? Where do I want to be? I joined this incredible energy Alchemy academy where a group of amazing women and I healed our souls on this journey back to ourselves and in this, I found sound Medicine. Music has always spoken deeply to my soul but this… this felt different. I was singing my own song now. I was meditating and seeing visions of me healing others all around me with just my connection with my instruments, my voice and my divine connection to all that I am. Now I’m facilitating guided meditations and sound medicine ceremony’s every moment I can and I can’t wait to see what else is to come!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

The health and wellness industry has transformed my entire being. I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for 11 years doing bodywork for spas, chiropractor’s and my own self entrepreneurial business. I have always been fascinated with how things work and the body was my starting ground. Shortly into my first couple of years as a therapist, things just started to unravel. I KNEW there was more than just our bodies to us. Thus an awakening to awareness!!! I have always been fascinated by the ever flowing energy that surrounds us and massage therapy heightened that. I was hungry for more. In this curiosity the universe brought me to Reiki. With this new tool in my basket I started to really see the bigger picture of why I was being called to help others. I started integrating reiki into my bodywork. This was only the beginning and yet it was shifting so many things within myself and my clients. In 2017 my near death experience really drove me to dive into my own personal trauma and choosing to heal it from the core. This brought me to the next connection… Cranial sacral therapy. This is a beautiful modality connecting physical, mental and emotional together and releasing trauma within the central nervous system which controls everything within and without our bodies minds and energy. I was learning so much! So many dots have truly connected the more time I spend on this earth in service. After spending so much time learning and experiencing so many different healing modalities, the seeking for me just halted. I felt like I had to really sit with all that I had learned and just experience what I had uncovered on my journey. This was my pivotal moment… this was when sound healing entered into my life. I have always been in love with music but it wasn’t until my late 20s that I felt not only music, but sound had a deeper key to health and after all that I had experience. I started researching all about how I could heal trauma with sound. I found all kinds of tools from binaural beats to healing hertz music to Tibetan sound bowls. I would play this music in my sessions and even fall asleep to them at home. This was truly when I discovered sound healing. I started listening to Crystal sound healing bowls and just loved how they made me feel. The frequencies of these instruments always took me out of my head and into my heart… something that was so foreign to me at that point in my life. Listening to these bowls was so familiar. I felt called home. Sound healing was deep, and subtle all at the same time… healing bodies, minds, and souls on a level we have to feel instead of analyze.

So was born Celestial Soul Medicine.
I combine a set of healing modalities to bring nurturing love, balance, and life back to your body, mind, spirit, and soul.

I facilitate Sound Medicine Ceremonies weekly in my neighborhood in downtown Mckinney as well as colaborate with beautiful souls in group sound medicine events around the DFW area. I incorporate all that I have learned and the wisdom I have gained through my experience to bring through this love and healing to people on deep levels. I am in the process of expanding sound medicine out into the lands of this earth through mini retreats I do with others and also the work I do on my own.

I am always expanding. always growing in love, in wisdom and in grace. I want to bring so much love to all souls I come across in life through my work and service. I know that this forever tenacity and fire I have within me will always burn. We are all on this gorgeous, twisty, crazy, dirty, incredible journey together and I want transformation and connection with it all. I know that what sets me apart from others is that I am willing to go to uncomfortable places with myself and with others to feel deeper, to love stronger and to experience more fully in this life… to bring others closer to home. :)

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

By far the most helpful thing that has helped me succeed is the investment I have put into my own personal self development and discovery. I feel that in any business you have to know your strengths and weaknesses and truly know them. this is the foundation to your success in anything you do. If you can stay open to growth and humbling experiences they can make you adaptable to all that comes your way. You become resilient in your strength as an individual and it transforms you into a glowing entrepreneur over time. This is the key… If you are always on the journey of change, you are always flowing and when you flow, all that is meant for you just shows up. You are in complete alignment with yourself. It is the belief in yourself, the confidence you express and the vulnerability you hold that truly stands the test of time in this industry.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

My biggest lesson unlearned so far in life is that to be successful you have to have a degree or a certification that blessed you with a title that showed your worth of success. This was what I learned… that success was surrounded by money. If you weren’t wealthy, you weren’t successful. This has been by far my most powerful lesson to unlearn.
I remember the moment this lesson started to unravel… .
I started attending free meditative mandalas classes at the library in 2019. I had just moved back home from Washington state and wanted to try new things. I loved art and always would doodle as kid… so this was a beautiful way to bring more creativity and meditation practices into my life. I loved doing something weekly that was just for me. Who knew what was waiting for me..
I was 2 years in and was approached by my teacher telling me I should apply for a “call for artist” for the city of McKinney to do a butterfly steel sculpture installment that was to bring awareness to the butterflies and the uniqueness of downtown. I ended up applying with 4 other women from class to do a group piece and we got accepted in! We joined together to create this beautiful mandala butterfly, to represent our library and all the beautiful work that this class has gifted us over the years. We did this without an art degree…together. This humbling experience broke me in all the good ways. I asked myself… what else was possible? So much more! I went on the collaborating with many other artists and have created 5 art shows since then selling my art.
so I ask you too…what else is possible?
