Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lauren Stevenson, Founder of My House Healing, located in Southfield, MI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am an intuitive + energy healer and reiki master who has a passion for helping others reprogram and heal their subconscious mind to live authentically in alignment with their true essence. At My House Healing, I work with you to find the root causes of your behavioral patterns, dismantle your negative thought cycles, and reprogram your conscious & subconscious mind with a positive belief system to create practical change in your life. Think of my sessions as a combination of talk therapy and energy healing to release negative core beliefs/thoughts/patterns built in childhood. These sessions help you revisit your childhood with a fresh set of eyes, release false beliefs, and start building your new chapter in a way that's aligned with who you truly are!
My clients are ready to heal, reprogram their minds, and are eager to reach their full potential. They often find me when they are at an impasse in their life. Usually, they feel lost and misunderstood and are looking for a nonjudgmental, safe space to acknowledge their feelings, find guidance on how to create positive change, and connect more to their spiritual/energetic nature.
Tell us about yourself
Being highly sensitive, empathic, and intuitive since early childhood, forming healthy boundaries, having secure relationships, and having a strong sense of self weren't things that came naturally to me. The experiences I encountered led me to turn to mental and emotional healing early on to improve my relationships with others and myself. In college, I dove headfirst into psychology classes while completing my Master's in Business Administration from the University of Michigan in hopes of learning how to create peace and balance within my mental and emotional world. And I did.
After completing my degree, my fire was ignited, and my passion for helping others burned brightly. I discovered the power of using my developed intuition in tandem with my education, self-taught knowledge, and life experiences. And thus, My House Healing was born! Every day I wake up and aim to show up for my clients in a way that my healers and mental health professionals showed up for me when I needed them the most. We all have a purpose in this world, and I know one of mine is to help others realize who they are. I love helping my clients develop a true knowing that they are so worthy of everything that they desire and so much more. This isn't a job for me. It's my purpose, and I am so grateful and honored to be able to share my gifts with my clients and impact them in positive ways.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment so far is deciding to go out on my own and start My House Healing. After working in Corporate America for so long, I had to work through reprogramming a lot of the conditioning that comes along with a 9-5 job. The inner work was necessary before going out on my own and creating a business that could flourish. I am so proud of myself for overcoming my fear of being seen as my authentic self and for fully stepping into who I am today.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Building a conscious business involves creating something that is a true reflection of yourself and may not fit everybody's mold. Learning how to stay in my own lane, tune out the noise of other people's opinions, and fully trust myself are some of the most challenging things I've had to do. It just takes practice, though, like flexing a muscle – it does get easier with time.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Do what you LOVE! We are moving into a time when people recognize that their energy is their only true currency. So if you are showing up to a business that you don't feel passionate about, your audience, clients, and peers will sense that. Start your business. Just do it. Be fearlessly authentic and passionate about helping people. Have fun. And don't sit and crunch numbers all day. The more you can find your flow, the more abundance you will create.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
If you are on the fence about starting your business, start small. Owning your own business doesn't mean you have to jump two feet in all at once. Don't quit your day job at first if it doesn't feel right. Start by taking a few baby steps and build on them over time. Take a class, get certified, or ask questions to someone who has already done what you want to do. Most importantly, always listen to yourself and your intuition. We all have gifts that we are meant to share with the world. Your gift isn't going to feel like work; it's something you would do all day for free. DO THAT! Once you share your gift and have fun while doing it, the abundance will follow.
