JJ Flizanes is an Empowerment Strategist and the creator of the Empowering Minds Network.

She works with people in therapy or coaching situations to support them in feeling empowered. She works with people who want to expand their consciousness, who want to feel good and have a good time - people who want to feel love, feel free, feel peace and joy. JJ Flizanes works with conscious, spiritual truth seekers who want to remove emotional blocks to success.

JJ knows that emotions are the most important things. From ages 0 to 7 years old, we want to get our needs met. Later in life, we still seek to get our needs met that were not taken care of by our caregivers. Core wounds embed a belief about yourself.

She helps people identify sabotaging patterns and transmute struggle into joy. Through a series of clarifying exercises, she helps people look at what’s running their lives. Someone may devalue themselves because of a pattern of being devalued. She helps them to choose the right therapy for the right reason.  Otherwise, people keep the same story going.

JJ is passionate about empowering people with the knowledge and awareness of how they can live the life of their dreams.

 From personal trainer to Empowerment Strategist, she has been empowering people in the areas of health, relationships, healing, and business since 2005.  She specializes in helping people create a roadmap to emotional healing and rewiring core wound patterns with her exclusive core wound mapping.  From business to personal, understanding patterns and beliefs will help you make decisions that can transform self-sabotage in every area in order to manifest the success you desire.  She has also been successfully teaching the law of attraction since 2009.

Alara Sage believes that we are here to live Ecstatically.  She believes that our creative life force energy (Shakti) is the source of our pleasure, aliveness, and profound creative potential.

It took her years of releasing deep shame, guilt, and trauma to move into a life of authenticity, power, and bliss.  This process was not only transformational for her, but it opened her eyes to how closed down as humans we truly are.

Today, she is devoted to helping others awaken to their sexual and creative life force energy (Shakti) without shame - to create the life that they truly desire..

Susan Zummo 's purpose in this life is to be a guide and teacher along the path of evolution to higher consciousness hand in hand with the Soul. Her greatest joy is teaching others how to do the same as we navigate “The Great Shift” into 5th dimension consciousness.
 
As a person who has lived her life with one foot in the 3D world daily life and the other in the world of metaphysics, Susan Zummo has a unique perspective on merging both to live a soul-directed successful life.  As a result, she's used her knowledge of higher consciousness and spirituality in every arena of her life.  Her purpose is to share practical application of a Soul Directed Life to help others accomplish their unique purpose on Earth. 

As a visionary for humanity's evolution, she originated Soul Patterning Harmonics®, an ascension energy technique in the early ’90s.  After teaching Soul Patterning for two years, she was guided to put it aside as the world was not ready for its frequency. Then in 2019, her guides gave her the go-ahead to bring it forward in its current evolved form. During this waiting time, she continued to learn about the Soul, made contact with her own soul, and worked on releasing her fears while evolving spiritually.

Her online and in-person workshops focus on a deeper connection to the Soul and Creator/Source along with quick and easy techniques to be used in daily life.  As we move into higher frequencies with joy and greater awareness of the universe around us, we create a life filled with love, joy, and prosperity for all.

She believes the practicalities of everyday life must be guided by spiritual principles or our existence is flat.  Spiritual practice must have practical application in daily life in order to be truly valuable.

On the first Monday of each month, she hosts a free guided Zoom meditation at The Higher Consciousness Café after which they share, laugh and connect as a spiritual community.

Detailed information on Soul Patterning Harmonics®, Soma Pi™ healing workshops and Intuitive Consultations can also be found at Susan's website.

Birgitta Visser is a Light Empowerment Coach, Divine channel and Light Language Healer, delivering messages from the many master teachers across the multiverse to aid humanity. She has been through many traumatic life experiences, some utterly sour and distasteful, having to sweat these created experiences, while others were sweeter - bringing immense joy.  She says she must have been off her rocker when signing her soul contract prior to incarnating, having checked all the tick boxes for every experience you can think of - from the abuse as a child, to the loss of my father, my stepfather, the bullying in high school including the workplace, to being assaulted in the superficial modeling industry, to a short stint with drugs, and having rolled into several dysfunctional relationships, all the whilst starving herself, battling  many inner demons.  Yet she soldiered on, holding down many different jobs wherever she planted her feet in the world. 

She was like SpongeBob, soaking up the vibes of everyone around her as she drifted along on her journey of self-discovery. But this sponge knew it was time for some boundaries and truth. The long and winding road to finding her true self was not always easy. There were twists and turns, ups and downs, but she absorbed the lessons, good and bad. Even when progress felt slower than a snail, she kept moving forward. She inserted boundaries and lived in a far more authentic version of who she was to who she is now and ultimately is still becoming.  It took many years, and truth be told she is still learning. She studied and taught many healing modalities, still making many of the same mistakes because she was a bit of a turtle. 

Life is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. We must take responsibility for who we are and who we want to become. Within each of us shines a radiant light - our true essence - that has often been dimmed by painful experiences. It is time to reclaim that inner glow and unleash our power to heal. When we come to that place of acceptance and embrace accountability, we can transform hardship into wisdom. We can shed the unnecessary baggage that weighs us down and step into a life of abundance and joy. Our light still shines, ready to illuminate the path ahead. We only need to take back the reins and steer our lives toward truth. By owning our power, we can recover the wholeness within and shine brilliantly once more. The journey begins when we choose to walk forward with courage and hope.
