Can I share some gratitude today? ✨

Congratulations! You made it to the end of September. I don't know exactly what your month has looked like, but I do know the shift into fall can be rough and that the transition should be celebrated. So I want to send a little congrats your way in case you don't have somebody in your life supporting you like that. ✨

Speaking of coming this far…I started this holistic self-care business over 20 years ago and while that feels like a lifetime ago, I still feel grateful for the many things that have helped me and the business evolve along the way...

#1–YOU! Of course! My customers, email subscribers and holistic minded readers always come first. That means you. Thank you so much for showing up to take care of yourself while also supporting me from multiple Chicago area locations to now, the online group sessions.

#2- Stress (mine, not yours). Thanks to my "dog with a bone" personality and some very talented practitioners, I learned how to transform physical tension and stress into personal insights and opportunities for growth. Stress reveals what we need to shift in our life and it has helped me create a life that feels more authentically - me. The best part is that now I can teach clients how to do the same so they need me less and I can help more people. Win ♾️!

#3- Social distancing and not (just) because as a empath I enjoyed the personal space. To be honest, Balance Healing Center was on it's way out the door in 2019. When I fell in love with the empowering results clients were getting from guided biodynamic CST sessions that year, I knew I wanted to shift from running a studio to being a practitioner again. Then, not being able to touch people, made the switch easy. While the pandemic wasn't all roses and sunshine, I am grateful for this piece of the experience.

#4– Coming to the 5 year anniversary of the Observatory! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have held 100 biodynamic CST group sessions, let alone online. This feels like a miracle. ✨

Anyway, thanks again for supporting the biz. If you're looking for an in-person session locally, I'm in Northfield on Tuesdays and some Friday mornings. If you’re not local to Chicago but still want to get the same nervous system reset, reply to this email and I'll send you the link to join us on October 2nd at 9:30am for free. If you’re not sure if online sessions would work for you, grab a free 10-minute fitting call with me.

Until next time, stay awesome.
Aimee
