We recently connected with Catrina Francis and have shared our conversation below.
Catrina, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
LifeART Wellness Clinic is an alternative wellness clinic specializing in Integrative Frequency Healing, combining Reiki, Sound Healing, Herbalism, Ayurveda, and Functional Medicine. I focus on holistic transformations that encompass the mind, body, and spirit, meeting each individual’s unique needs. My goal is to help people create the life they want.
This passion comes from my own journey. I dealt with chronic stress, anxiety, and a sedentary lifestyle that led to issues like obesity, high blood pressure, migraines, and eventually mini-strokes. Medications didn’t help, but diving into Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) did. Learning various CAM methods changed my life for the better. Now, I just want to help others find their way to wellness.
Catrina, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Integrative Frequency Healing stands out from other alternative healing methods by combining intuitive practices like Reiki and Sound Healing with practical lifestyle sciences such as Ayurveda. This approach helps people understand how their energy impacts physical health and encourages living proactively and seasonally according to their body type.
In my Integrative Frequency Healing Counseling sessions, each client receives a customized program tailored to their unique needs, focusing on goals around spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. I help clients identify underlying stressors, review daily habits causing imbalance, and develop a personalized detoxification protocol to achieve the desired results.
In addition to counseling, I assist clients with various forms of detoxification, relaxation, and intuitive/spiritual counseling. I also work with third-party vendors to provide supplements and home tests to identify hormonal and nutritional deficiencies and address root causes.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
A good friend once told me, “You don’t have to explain anything to anyone; people can’t see your vision because it was given to you and only you.”
When I started working in the wellness community, I felt like I was lost at sea. Everyone around me had been well-established for years and was amazing in their own right. By paying too much attention to others’ examples and social media trends, I couldn’t hear my own voice or visualize the direction I wanted to go in. It wasn’t until I let go of everything and started to trust myself that I was able to listen to my inner voice, find my direction, and establish a unique practice that’s off the beaten path.
In the end, I had to unlearn the trauma response of “fawning” and “people pleasing” and learn to trust myself and my instincts.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Currently, I am pivoting from full-time corporate life and part-time entrepreneur to full-time entrepreneurship by owning the clinic and starting my foundation. While I am enjoying the freedom, control, and peace in my life, I am also adjusting to new challenges. Unlike in corporate life, where many tasks are handled for you and the metrics of success are laid out, as an entrepreneur, you are responsible for everything—operations, branding/marketing, finances, and more. You determine the value of your days and must handle everything, even tasks you may not be good at. This can be both empowering and daunting. When feeling overwhelmed, I take things one step at a time, go through my self-assigned task lists, and ground myself in the understanding that I am in complete alignment now, with myself, resources, and people that make me stronger.
