We were lucky to catch up with Liza Boubari recently and have shared our conversation below.
Liza, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. The first dollar your business earns is always special and we’d love to hear how your brand made its first dollar of revenue.
I graduated from Hypnotism Training Institute in 1997. Months later, I rented a small room for $350 a month sharing space at another therapist’s office.
The first client I ever got was an acquaintance’s son. I worked with her previously at my last law firm – my job before transitioning to a lifetime in healing. This lady’s son had gotten an early discharge from the army and was having panic and anxiety attacks and refused to talk to anyone.
Knowing that I had just finished school as a hypnotherapist, plus the fact that she herself had a positive experience with hypnosis in the past, brought her son in to see me. First, he refused to communicate much. It took a while for him to open and start sharing, but his experience with going into a deep trance state and relaxing deeply started to calm him.
I started by charging $100 a session. Sometimes the session would last 75-90 minutes, but then again, I was a beginner. His mom was so pleased with the results, since in just a few sessions, he’d started to communicate more at home and sleep through the night. She referred me to a few more people – and word of mouth became my advertising.
Within six months, I moved to a bigger office on Arden St in my hometown of Glendale, Calif., across the street from where I moved to less than a year ago. I believe life’s journey has a cycle – how and where we start to where and how we come to complete the cycle – from where it all started. Today, I charge many times more than when I started – and the results are far greater… I believe the best testimonials are referrals from happy clients.
Liza, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I used to work in a law office. I was married. And I was miserable. So miserable my body started developing diseases, cysts, maladies. I was told I needed surgery after surgery until I finally stood up and said, “No more!”
At that time, I was introduced to neurolinguistic programming and clinical hypnotherapy. It was like a whole new world opened up for me. As I healed and claimed my voice and realized my value and took back the power in my life, I discovered my true purpose in life: to bring this same healing to others. My business, HealWithin, was born in 1999 and my primary method of empowering women to safely heal within themselves is my Boubari 3E Method. First, we Evoke what was, lifting and peeling back emotional layers of cellular memories and trauma recorded deep in the psyche – the subconscious mind.
Then we Embrace; we embrace who we are and where are in life. We embrace what is – to accept and appreciate your true radiant self. And thirdly, we Evolve to what will be – to live your desired outcome and happier life as defined by you… because… You Matter!
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
I get my resilience from within me, at my core.
Resilience is a mentality, an inner strength. I often say, “Resilience is mindset from the core with a lot of heart and soul.” It’s a beacon that guides me through the darkest moments, empowering me to rise again.
What I’ve discovered is that my need for resilience is simply feedback: a reflection of my outlook on life and my unwavering spirit; a force that surges through me, reminding me of the incredible power I have within me.
Have you ever had to pivot?
As I mentioned above, I used to work in a law office. I was constantly overwhelmed, stressed out, and under a lot of pressure. What I wasn’t, was in tune with my body. I didn’t understand the impact the mental and emotional stress was having on my body physically. My body developed ovarian cysts, which forced me to acknowledge and understand the pain and discomfort I was feeling. Just as I was scheduled to undergo a third surgery for the cysts, the HR director of the law firm where I worked referred me to an acupuncturist, who in turn, referred me to a hypnotherapist. It was there, through hypnotherapy, that I discovered the tragic reality of why my body was creating the incessant ovarian cysts. That connection with my body’s core was the healing that made the surgery no longer necessary. This powerful experience with the science of hypnosis led me to discover my true purpose of helping others heal within.
It is now over 20 years that I have been dedicated to working with people who are ready to change their lives. Through empowerment and personal transformation, she safely guides you to Evoke what was – lift and peel back emotional layers of cellular memories and trauma, Embrace what is – to accept and appreciate your true radiant self and Evolve to what will be – to live your desired outcome and happier life. because… You Matter!
