For the woman who is ready to stop taking on everyone’s problems, she's ready to stand in her power.

For the woman who has forgotten her magic, she's ready to rediscover herself.

For the woman who allowed the world to speak for her, she's ready to speak for herself.

For the woman with blazing thoughts, she's ready to understand her thoughts and emotions and connect with them.

For the woman who is tired of "sucking it up" and being a "good girl," and for the woman who is settling for life, she's ready for more and to make it happen on her terms.

For the woman who doesn't understand how she got there and spends time envying others instead of creating, she's ready to create her own life.

This vortex is designed to create long-term results, facilitate epic conversations, encourage self-love, foster intimate connections, and lead to more money, creative willpower, and lasting life changes. It encompasses both the mind and the body, with a focus on shaping the mindset through deeper awareness and embodying it through energetic practices.

Details on the 4-week program starting January 5th with Samantha Blossom and Karissa Dean.

If energy is everything, then we must open ourselves to the understanding that we have access to everything. 

What would it be like to heal yourself or even deepen the awareness of your body? To know yourself more intimately? To stand tall and brave because you were self-aware and could self-regulate? 

In this conversation, Karissa speaks with Oracle Mia Lawrence. Unhinged and spiritual, Mia opens up about her experience of unlocking her gifts and helping facilitate healing for others. 

Mia Lawrence is an Oracle who uses her knowledge of energetics to facilitate transformative change in her clients and the world around her. She comes from a career as a Speech Language Pathologist and uses the knowledge of neurology, communication, and psychology she acquired in this field as a foundation for her current body of work. Mia works with clients 1:1 towards whatever transformation they choose utilizing a combination of healing she channels herself and that which her clients bring through themselves as they develop their own energetic practices.  Her mission is to provide as many people as possible with the information they need to make conscious decisions about their own bodies and lives.
