What is one thing you've learned about yourself, both personally and professionally while building these brands?
19:59
So I've had to overcome overthinking things.
20:03
And also, it's really hard for me to bring a project to the market and not feel like if it's not going to be perfect, I won't pursue it.
20:13
So a lot of times I would hold myself back because I'm like, oh, it's not perfect.
20:17
It's not ready.
20:18
But really the goal, I think that what I've learned is you just got to start.
20:22
If you have a goal, you have a vision, you have an idea, just start in any small way, however that may look to you.
23:06
It's time to move on now.
22:44
and that does segue really well into one of the questions that we had was learning more about how you integrate reiki and sound into your sessions with clients
22:56
yeah i mean again all right following clinical framework um you know making sure we get consent yes make sure to explain to clients what it's about um but we have um i have i said we because i we also have the wellness center but we have a space with the instruments and a massage table and so Part of this is, you know, transitioning, transitions are so important.
23:28
And this is a physical transition from maybe doing some reprocessing, maybe coming in to the space and needing to transition in, and then deciding how to Do clients want to engage with Reiki in their different ways? Some people might like to stay in the space, the talk space with the couch.
23:51
Some people might like to go into the other space, but show up in a way that feels safe, right? So even that negotiating piece can be so meaningful.
24:01
And the other piece then is deciding, negotiating, is touch involved or not? And then also helping the nervous system settle.
24:16
and maybe noticing right like when i think about reiki from a clinical framework it's neuroception so setting up the space that feels safe enough incorporating external resourcing like orienting so looking around the space making sure like yep i know where the door is i know how to get out of here and i need to and then increasing interoception and noticing and, or maybe not noticing if that doesn't feel safe

10 MINS LATER

Would you be interested in this? Could we integrate this into our clinical sessions?
35:22
Yeah.
