Home To Harmony - Rise Wellness Collective
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jillian Locke and Nadia Yanuziello, founders of Rise Wellness Collective, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are Nadia Yanuziello and Jillian Locke, Co-Founders of Rise Wellness Collective. Our mission is to help guide our clients back home to harmony in their lives. We use Human Design, bio-energetics, and other proven wellness modalities to empower our clients to fully embody Health, wealth, and harmony in their lives and businesses. Through our coaching, groups programs, workshops, retreats, and 1:1 healing work, our clients find a joyful, energetic sanctuary for deep transformation, healing, and empowered evolution to take place that ripples out into all aspects of their lives.
Tell us about yourself
We met during Yoga Teacher Training back in 2017, and there was such a strong gravitational force drawing us together. Our connection always felt so organic, joyful, and purposeful. Since meeting, we had an inner knowing that we were destined to work together and bring together a soul-connected wellness community. After cultivating our skills and getting clear on our purpose, we made the leap from our corporate careers into entrepreneurship in 2019 and haven't looked back. Our combined expertise and certifications in bio-energetic healing, Human Design, communications, as well as yoga philosophy and asana, set us apart and allow us to support our clients fully at mind-body-soul levels throughout their journeys.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Our biggest accomplishment is making a positive and powerful impact on improving the lives of our clients and the ripple out effect it has in their lives. The transformations they experience during and after we support them, whether one-on-one or in group settings, is the best and most inspiring feeling and rewarding experience that lights us up from within. We have witnessed our clients find themselves again, align to their dream careers, leave toxic relationships, and know/love themselves more deeply.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Recognizing that it is an uphill battle trying to do everything yourself and getting clear on exactly what needs to be prioritized for the highest good of the business. There are always going to be elements of running a business that won't be your favourite parts, so we try to get creative and be intentional about how we manage those aspects to keep our energy high and our focus on moving forward while still ensuring the i's are dotted, and the t's are crossed.
Getting super clear on where we focus our time, energy, and investment and maintaining the trust and faith in our vision when others' don't yet see it is essential. We ensure our why, impact and desires remain brighter than any challenges that may arise and stay connected to the bigger picture, focusing on the highest good. We never stop learning, integrating, doing the self-work, rising above, and evolving consistently.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Believe in yourself unconditionally, and do not wait for others to see or understand your vision/mission for you to start and pursue it. Let your heart and soul lead you.
- Have a why and keep reconnecting back to it as the anchor that keeps energizing you and propelling you on the path. Being open to adapting the original vision/"plan."
- Connect. Let yourself be a forever learner, and leverage those who have gone before you to help you rise to all you are meant to be.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
