We recently connected with Nadeshda Hernandez and have shared our conversation below.

Nadeshda, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about how you went about setting up your own practice and if you have any advice for professionals who might be considering starting their own?

I, for a long time, knew I didn’t want to “work.” However, I wasn’t really sure why I felt that way. As I became more aware, I realized I had internalized my caregiver’s perspective on work as a very unpleasant means to the end of survival. That didn’t feel good. I knew I was great at and loved school. I remember fantasizing about getting paid to go to school and learn. I rejected the idea of work as I also associated it to difficulty, being scrutinized, trapped, judged, mistreated, controlled, and even abused. I didn’t know how, but I wanted to feel free in my decisions, time, schedule, “workload”, the opposite of that old story I had internalized. The more I experienced undesired situations that reinforced the idea that I didn’t want to feel trapped in a job where I was controlled, the more I desired freedom. This led me to start my private practice on the side under licensed professional when I was still unlicensed. As my freedom desire grew, I came across subconscious reprogramming, which I applied to myself, with the knowledge of Law of Attraction and Neurolingistic Programming. This allowed me to, in 2019, expand my practice and go solo without working for another. I didn’t just take action that works for everyone, as I had already tried many forms of marketing that others had used to no avail. I knew action had to come from my own alignment. So inspired action kept coming to me as I felt in love with life. Some of the same actions I had taken before just gave birth to new results (online directories, word of mouth, doctor and school referrals, and my first professional athlete seeing me for subconscious reprogramming. I even created a subconscious reprogramming via EFT tapping YouTube video for others who wanted to build their private practice since there is abundance of all desires we are ready to allow. My advice for professionals wanting to start their own practice is to be “in love” with life, themselves, their ideas, and from that place manifest, use my EFT video, follow inspired action (each step “should” feel like an absolute yes). I’m also happy to provide coaching for this.

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 started off as a psychology major but realized I wasn’t emotionally ready for that which seemed like a heavy burden. Switching to business and teaching, separately, taught me I wanted to feel like I was helping significantly, while working less than a teacher and earning more than one. I was already great at guiding others through emotional challenges. So I was led to a masters program in psychology when I returned from an out-of-the-country sabbatical. I loved becoming an LMFT. I was then recruited to become a parapsychologist for a possible Spanish reality docuseries, thanks to which I became familiar with many things paranormal, including hypnosis. This led me to become fascinated by subconscious reprogramming as I saw how powerful it was for me and others to feel and allow more of our desires to enter our lives. I thus became a hypnotherapist and then an EFT tapping practitioner and Law of Attraction coach. I love guiding parents and their children, as well as young adults to remember their essence (powerful in love and fun) so they intentionally co-create/allow their desires, as I show them how to trust themselves and use their internal guidance system (emotions) in this game of life. I help people hack the matrix and shape-shift their realities (from extreme cases like “irreparable” illnesses, to creating their career, thriving in school and relationships, master confidence, reach financial goals, let go of old stories and heartache, to something seemingly frivolous like manifesting the car, home, or person of their dreams). Lastly, I created a sex-positive board game that I’ll turn into an app and that will be the foundation of a sex-positive reality show.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

There isn’t a strategy per se that is the most effective as there is no perfect recipe outside of your energy. It really depends on the practitioner’s vibrational combination of their desires, intentions, allowance, and resistance, which has to do with thought, emotional, and action patterns. When that is aligned, the “how” will come. You can take as much forceful action as you want which comes from lower vibration such as fear, worry, doubt, etc. Action from these vibrational places leads to more difficulty. Assuming your energy is in a great place, follow your path based on what feels good to you, whether it’s going to a particular networking event, being on certain online directories, choosing your directory or website verbage, etc. Personally, I have gotten most of my clients from online directories ( but I didn’t get many for years until my energy was ready). Eventually, a good amount came and continues to come from word of mouth referrals.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

In 2016, I was in a car accident and was off work for a couple of months. Upon returning to work, I was told I needed to get some vaccinations, otherwise, I’d be let go. I felt it was time for me to try just doing private practice as really wanted to feel free. What I didn’t realize, was that I couldn’t get to feeling free from feeling so upset that a vaccine was “being imposed on my body” by my employer. So they let me go, and I tried to be independent in my private practice. My vibration wasn’t there so after spending all of my savings and not having enough clients to sustain myself, I knew it wasn’t “the right time” because of where I has overall. Even though for a while I had rejected the notion of becoming a clinical supervisor, I let go of that resistance in the form of limiting beliefs around it. Thus, my next easy/logical step was to become a supervisor. I enjoyed guiding my clinicians and helping more clients that way. I was doing 2 jobs in 1 though. When I asked to be payed for the 2nd one, they officially deleted my position and created a new hybrid one for the same pay. Even though it felt like an underhanded chess move on their part when I was let go that way, I was very sure that it was all working out for me and something with even better pay, less work, and more freedom was coming somewhere else soon. I was then led to my 2nd clinical supervisor job. Once, that served its purpose towards the end of covid, where there was high employee turnover and I began to be overloaded by extra work, I simply focused on what felt good outside of that, and reprogrammed myself for my 2nd attempt at only doing private practice. This time, I felt ready and it has fluctuated but overall kept growing in the amount, type, and frequency of clients. I feel my way in all areas of my life now.
