We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jennifer Lee. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jennifer below.
Alright, Jennifer thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
In early 2022 I decided to jump into my business full time. I was tired of waiting for the right moment. When the company that I was working for as a marking coordinator (a career I relocated for) was bought out from another one of our bigger franchises, I decided that I could stay on with this venture and see how it goes, or jump into my business full time.
It has always been a passion of mine to be a strong, successful business owner. I was not made to be stuck in an office 24/7. I crave freedom. I crave flexibility. I wanted to be able to travel and take off when I needed and wanted and I knew the only way that I would be able to do that is if I decided to work for myself.
When I decided to jump in, it came at the right time in my life, not necessarily the perfect time. I was ready to forge my own path, my own destiny. Yes, at first it was slightly difficult, like where do I even begin? What are my next steps? I decided to hire a business and spirtual coach to help me on my journey, and the journey has been amazing, even through the ups and downs.
Now I know being an entrepreneur or business owner is not right for everyone. There are ups and downs, but at the end of the day it is all worth it! I am so happy I get to do what I love each and everyday and I am so excited to see what the future holds for me, my business and my life!
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’m a: + Reiki Practitioner and Wellness Coach (specializing in: healing from past trauma, releasing negative energy, Chakra balancing, improving mental health, holistic well-being and relaxation.)
+ Self Love Coach
+ I promote and sell products for the Holistic experience
What is Holistic? Holistic is the whole body, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The mind, body, spirit and soul.
What is Reiki? “Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, which is a subset of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands- on healing through which a “universal energy” is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing. Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle that a therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.” Description from Google
I was inspired to start my personal healing journey after dealing with trauma at an early age. I was sick and tired of feeling depressed with abandonment issues, confused, angry, alone and helpless. I decided to dig deeper into my roots, finding out that I was indigenous to Central and South America. I wanted to learn more about my ancestors and their Shamanic ways, so I started my healing and spiritual journey. I started doing yoga, meditating, reading, cleansing, learning about crystals and essential oils and using them in my practice, and then finally started attending Reiki sessions. That’s when I fell in love with Reiki’s powerful healing energy.
Reiki is such a beautiful freeing experience. It helps break through barriers that are causing us to feel stagnate or stuck in our lives, it allows us to break through patterns that are causing us to relive our trauma, and it helps us relax and raise our energy vibration so that we can attract more love, abundance and happiness into our life.
Honestly, Reiki saved my life. Without it, I wouldn’t be here today, living out my mission of helping people who are ready to experience greatness and take their lives to the next level of awesomeness. What makes my healing services different, is that I follow up with wellness coaching. I go over what chakras are blocked, what my intuition and guides tells me, and personalized tips. These tips and take-aways are great for you to continue to heal and balance yourself until our next session!
I absolutely LOVE what I do. I LOVE helping people get from 1 point to another, in their life. I help people who feel stuck and not sure what to do next, people who have blockages around self worth, people who have experienced Trauma, and take them to feeling confident, happy, healthy, balanced and free!
I love that I have been able to help people locally, here in Florida, but also virtually in other states and countries too! Remember energy can be felt, no matter where you are! (Similar to the frequencies in music!)
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
Absolutely! I know I was meant to be a healer. I believe that what I went through in my life has allowed me to become the person I was meant to become, so I can help and heal people and allow them to live their best life as well!
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Referrals are key! Networking with other local and similar business helps too!
