When Kari and I first met, she was working as a fitness trainer at a few studios around Madison, and building her knowledge as a nutrition and wellness coach. This was the career path she had landed on after having a corporate job that left her unhappy, stressed, and dreading going to work every day.
So she made a bold move (which I found out is one of Kari’s superpowers) and quit, without having a “safety net”. She knew that she wanted to work in the wellness space, though, because her own tranformation dealing with gut issues, anxiety, stress, and painful PMS had been so profound. But she wasn’t feeling aligned working in gyms and she wasn’t making the money she needed to live the lifestyle she desired.
This is when she hired me as a coach. In one of the first exercises we did together, I had her write down everything she wanted to create in her life- career, relationships, money, etc. And I asked her to get as specific as she wanted, without holding back because of ‘shoulds’ or limitations. I would discover later that Kari is a master manifestor, because much of what was written on that page came to fruition just a few months later!
A big part of the work I do with coaching clients now revolves around their Human Design– if/ when it resonates with a client we use it as a blueprint to manifest their vision, and as a compass to tell us when we’re moving towards more alignment and fulfillment. Kari discovered that she was a Projector, and everything fell into place! She realized why working at a demanding 40+ hour/ week job left her completely depleted, and why running around town to different gyms, some with very poor organization, made her feel exhausted. She realized that she is meant to be a guide for women on their wellness journey, that her environment is very important to her own health, and that she needs to always prioritize her self-care and not work too hard or long hours.
She also KNEW that she was meant to be self-employed, and started to get really serious about the vision she had written down months before- open a beautiful holistic wellness space for women. Things just started to fall into place for her at this point- the perfect space opened up with a very kind, helpful landlord and flexible terms.
Now she is the proud owner of Ether Wellness– right on the square in downtown Madison! It is a truly special space where women can relax, exercise, learn, grow, and support each other. Kari hosts weekly yoga + fitness classes, does personal training, and is bringing in other practitioners to lead classes and workshops. My favorite part is the adorable little “library” room where you can pull a self-help book off the shelf and curl up on the purple couch with a cup of tea. SO much better than your standard gym!
After our coaching wrapped up and Kari was opening the space, she hired me to design the branding + create the Ether Wellness website– and we put it all together in ONE DAY using my Shiva Template! I hope you’ll take a look at her amazing offerings and stop in for a class if you’re in Madison!
