Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Chanin Zellner. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Chanin, appreciate you joining us today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.
I spent 30 years in the accounting industry which included 10 years of owning my own bookkeeping company. I knew accounting like the back of my hand. And then I switched to the field of energy healing. A complete switch in a different direction!
For several years, I was plagued with impostor syndrome. I felt I needed more training, more certifications, and more practice. How could I possibly be as effective as someone who’d been helping others for potentially decades?!
As time went on and my clients were getting incredible and sometimes what felt like miraculous results, my mindset about my abilities began to shift. And as a psychic medium, I was being shown repeatedly that the information I was getting for my clients about their emotional blockages, subconscious beliefs, and generational trauma was SPOT ON.
I could no longer live in the land of impostor syndrome! I don’t believe there was ONE moment, but a series of them that proved to me that I AM an extremely impactful practitioner, and I was WORTHY of success.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I am a multi-passionate, serial entrepreneur dedicated to helping humanity learn to love themselves and others unconditionally. My first business was selling Kool-Aid door-to-door when I was about four years old!
I worked in the accounting industry for nearly 30 years. I was extremely successful with my own bookkeeping company. But during that time, I always had a niggling that there was a different path for me that would allow me to have a more significant impact on people’s lives.
In 2017, the Divine gave me a huge shove via a health crisis which led me to find my energy medicine mentor. While I initially joined her program to help me grow my bookkeeping company and create a non-profit to help veterans transition out of the military, the opportunity arose to be trained as an energy medicine practitioner in her modality. I had no clue where that would lead me to!
I describe what I do as quantum healing combined with mindfulness coaching. As a psychic medium, I am able to hear, feel, and see a client’s emotional blockages and hidden beliefs that are keeping them from having the life they desire. I am particularly focused on helping people to triumph over their trauma, as I triumphed over my own. I suffered for decades from the impact of sexual trauma, domestic abuse, and a dysfunctional childhood which led me to experience depression for 30 years as well as host of other emotional and physical challenges.
My mentor helped me to completely transform my life from one of living in a default state of fear to a default state of JOY. That is what I want to help other people obtain as well. And that INCLUDES learning to forgive and love oneself unconditionally.
I use a variety of tools to help people including quantum healing, oracle cards, essential oils, toning, light language, sound healing, crystals and divine healing codes and frequencies. I also help people to rewire their subconscious beliefs so they can actually BELIEVE they can have lives filled with more love, peace, joy and abundance. Finally, I have a special passion for helping people to heal from generational trauma and addictions.
I offer a variety of 1:1 sessions, special events in person and online, and have a hybrid group program available for people who are ready to move beyond their past and take life by the horns. I work primarily with quantum energy so there is limited talking necessary!
I’m also a 3-time #1 International Best-Selling Author on Amazon! And, I have a podcast in the works.
I am extremely proud of the person I have become! It has been an extremely challenging journey, but worth every tear. And I am thrilled for all the courageous people who’ve chosen to move past their fears and change their lives for the better via sessions or events with me.
Change can be really scary! But what is scarier is looking back at your life from a year ago and realizing you’re in the same place. I encourage everyone to just take one tiny step outside their comfort zones. Their new life awaits!
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Yes, I have so many! Because I was healing from my own trauma as I was growing my quantum healing business, it has been a long, challenging road.
I have changed my focus niche probably 7 times in 5 years because of impostor syndrome, as I mentioned. I didn’t have faith that I could actually “compete” with other energy practitioners. I also kept fearing that I was choosing the “wrong niche”. I spent much of my life as a perfectionist so making decisions was frightening!
I didn’t want to make the wrong decision. I didn’t want to be judged as incompetent. I didn’t want to deal with the people who believe what I do is evil so I stayed in the “spiritual closet” for a long time.
I wanted to quit SO many times! I would yell at the Universe, “That’s it! I’m done! I’m not doing this anymore!”. And then the Divine would send me a client or an encouraging meme and I’d keep going KNOWING that this IS the best path for me.
What I learned is that there are NO wrong decisions! There are no “failures”. Everything that happens is an opportunity to continue down the path you’ve chosen or make a new choice. We get to choose!
Once I truly believed that I could do “no wrong” and I could make new decisions without judgment of myself, my life became so much more joyful and easier! There is no giving up. This is what I am here to do. My natal chart even indicates I came here to be a “healer”. This is who I am, and I am unstoppable!
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I would say the main thing is that I don’t pretend to be anything other than who I am, although that seems to change often as I continue to evolve.
I am willing to be vulnerable in front of other people. I share my ups and my downs so people find me to be very relatable and authentic. They know they are not alone in their struggles.
I have also been told that I help people to feel safe. My voice is calming and soothing. I exude warmth, compassion, and love.
And on a professional level, the information I receive during sessions and events is extremely accurate which builds trust. I’m not just throwing generalities out there that lots of people can relate to. I hear exact memories and words that have been spoken or thought. I get images from people’s childhoods. And I’ve had people’s ancestors come into sessions and reveal things I couldn’t have known. All of this helps people to know I’m the real deal.
