The Wellspring Collaborative is a tentative name I had originally given to something else. That original idea rose up and died back within a few short months, but the name is good so I’m leaving it here as a placeholder.
I’m actively seeking a collaborator to co-create an online program for folks dealing with adrenal dysregulation and burnout. I’m specifically thinking to serve women in perimenopause because I am one of those women.
What I’m looking for: someone who comes with some or all of the following skills; nervous system regulation, somatic experiencing/trauma resolution, movement facilitator, meditation and mindfulness training, breathwork, body work, contemplative practices, ritual, yoga, astrology. The only non-negotiable thing on this list is nervous system regulation — a person with a variety of tools that work toward that end effectively would be ideal! I’m looking for someone who has about 10-15 hours a week to dedicate to getting this program off the ground and fully launched within the next 3-6 months. I’d like a collaborator who is able to to dedicate funds equally towards marketing, website development, filming/recording content, and overall systems and who wants to be a business partner in this endeavor.
What I bring: I have a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification. This allows me to run almost any functional lab work out there. I don’t currently have deep training in all the testing, but my certification gives me access to further trainings and mentorship as needed. I also have a background in herbal medicine, permaculture and nourishing traditions style cooking/catering. My most recent training is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, which is a very powerful test that is affordable and easy to do at home and highly applicable to adrenal dysregulation. I also have many years experience as a bookkeeper so I do understand the money side of things better than most. I also have a history of nervous system dysregulation driving me to complete burnout (in my late 30’s) and to a very depleted state (currently) despite many healthy lifestyle shifts and practices. I have about 10-15 hours a week I could dedicate to working on this with a collaborator. I also have funds to dedicate towards all the work I listed above.
My vision: I’d like to build an online program to support clients in resolving burnout and adrenal dysregulation patterns through functional lab testing, nutrition, nervous system regulation, movement, connection to earth, personal narrative/expressive practice and self care/lifestyle upgrades. I desire to have financial stability, to amplify impact through group coaching, to create a community of wellness and mutual aid and a means of keeping my self accountable for staying on the path. I also desire work that feels meaningful, utilizes my skill set and allows freedom to travel. The value of an online program is that it creates a resource that can be customized to include more meaningful one on one support but can also be a stand alone program that, once developed, can continue to be a resource and revenue stream long into the future. For example, this program here costs $4000: https://www.fatigued2fabulous.com/f2f-gold-program37136262
My belief: I have spent much of my adult life working and living as a lone wolf. I’ve struggled with overwhelm and overwork and a tendency towards isolation for many many years. I know in my bones I can develop an amazing program to support folks similar to myself. I also know I’ll be way more successful at doing this with a collaborator(s). I strongly desire a creative process where each person’s skill set augments the other’s and where I don’t feel I have to hold all the threads at one time. Not only do I not want to continue doing the lone wolf thing, I simply CAN’T do it any longer — it’s part of the pattern that’s keeping me from getting better. I’ve been looking for a long time for a place to put my gifts. This program seems like a place where these gifts could be offered. I believe we heal best by learning to trust ourselves within a community of support. Witness, self-expression, skills, tools, accountability, habits, all of these give us what we need to become the best stewards of our own bodies. I have a strong value for self-empowerment and sovereignty. I believe we are our own best healers, but also we can’t each carry all the tools, knowledge, skills to get the job done. That’s where community comes in.
Nuts & Bolts: I’m really hoping to find a business partner and creative collaborator to both develop, market and manage this program long term on equal footing. I am not independently wealthy and can’t bank roll this entire process. I do have access to credit and a very flexible lifestyle, with regular income at the moment. I’ve just invested in a 3-month coaching program aimed specifically at bringing in recurring revenue via online programs. Aside from the important service this offers to people who are suffering, I believe the revenue potential for this kind of program is high with the right content/investment/timing/marketing.
If any of this speaks to you, please reach out to me. I’d love to talk to you. Phone or email is fine. If you reach out and don’t hear back within 48 hours, it’s likely I didn’t receive your message, so please try again! Looking forward to talking to you soon.
