2020 Year-End Review

12/22/2020

0 Comments

 
This year has been the most challenging year for all of us. Don't you agree?

The pandemic, stay-at-home order, parenting while working, teaching, and taking care of our children, and a crazy storm that hits the East Coast during the summer and we lost power for 4 days.

This is also the year I've grown so much, both professionally and personally! From conquering my fear of public speaking to being hired by an Emmy Award-winning journalist to do her branding session!

So in this 2020 year-end review blog, I'm sharing all the exciting things that happened in my business and some of my session from this year (watch the video all the way at the end).

Business Feature: Seimei Healing

9/1/2020

Have you heard of Seimei? I haven't until I met Katie Fasciano, owner of Seimei Healing located in Westwood, New Jersey. It's a non-touch practice originated from Japan to ease pain, illness (even the common sore throat or cough), anxiety and more.

We met through networking and we instantly clicked! Not only we are mothers of girls, but we live and work in Westwood, New Jersey. 
She shared her emotional story of losing her eldest daughter to cancer and how she had found Seimei.

She had given me a demonstration on Seimei to ease my lower back pain, which was bothering me after I had my second daughter. It was amazing! Instant relief! I've been her client ever since and I knew I had to do a business feature on her and this amazing practice.

So read on and find out more about Katie and her amazing services.
