We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Danica Eakman . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Danica below.
Danica , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?
Success means many different things to different people. To me it means having a healthy work life balance, being utterly passionate about what you do for a living, having people in your life who have your back but can be honest with you and being able to travel the world, meet new people, try new foods and immerse yourself in new cultures. But as far as what I think it takes to be successful in business is consistency, reliability, responsiveness, passion, honesty and transparency. Also, in my line of work, many people either do not know what a sound bath is or are very new to it so education is a big piece of the puzzle as well!
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
Hi! I am Danica. A Sound Bath Practitioner & reiki master. Sounds baths have helped me during the lowest times in my life. The power of sound has helped me to release anxiety, relax & connect back to myself when I need it most. Immediately after my first experience with the bowls I knew I had to share this healing experience with others. My husband and I were going through a round of IVF and I had never experienced anxiety before. It was so overwhelming. I was doing acupuncture, therapy, yoga, anything to help, but nothing did like the first chime of a singing bowl
I hold healing, crystal alchemy sound bath experiences in Hunts Point, all over Washington state, and with clients all over the world. My work with Amazon has been monthly since I started my business. Providing welcomed relaxation for many teams throughout the organization. I wanted to share my favorite quote about sound baths with you, “meditation is like taking the stairs and a sound bath is like taking the elevator.” Sara Auster. If you have ever tried to meditate (or are new to meditation and want to see what all the fuss is about) and can’t seem to relax your mind, this is definitely an experience you should try. It captures the benefits of meditation faster and with greater ease. I hold private 1:1 session’s that are personally curated for your optimal healing, group sessions, parties of friends or family and also corporate events.
I have studied under two of the leaders in the sound healing realm, Jeralyn Glass & Susy Shieffelin out of Los Angeles, California.
This profound healing is something I want to share with everyone who is open to receiving it. Please do not hesitate to inquire if you have any questions or want to book a session. It would be my honor to learn all about you and hold space for you and your healing.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
What I always say is “it makes no sense to be anti social on a social media platform.’ I am naturally a cheerleader for others. Especially women owned businesses. As I was building my brand I started following a bunch of women owned businesses in the area and became very active in commenting, liking and interacting with their stories in a very genuine way. Posting consistently. Having a presence online. Doing it in a way that is educational, informative and uplifting are three ways I find that people engage with me the most. Do not post just to post. Think of your customers perspective and what they would like to see, learn, gain value from.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I was raised to go to college, get a degree, get a job, save for retirement. But that never worked for me. But I wanted my parents to be proud of me “follow the rules.” I never really was into my corporate jobs. I would show up, with a smile on my face, do the work but it never filled me up. It took a lot of therapy, soul searching and bravery to leave my corporate job and start my own business but I have never looked back. I have never been happier, never been more fulfilled. I know this is what I came to this earth to do. It fills my cup while helping others.
