To kick off Wednesday’s outstanding women who’ve created a business around their passions and life purpose. today I’m interviewing Anna Miranda from Creating Wellness. She has been a medium, intuitive and medical intuitive for the past 15 years and specializes in the law of cause and effect. She is trained in EFT, Hypnosis and Reiki healing. She received her hypnosis training through Carol Denicker at The Holbrook Wellness Center, the only NY state accredited hypnosis school!  Her specialized vibrational guidance readings are empowering and profound. The readings focus on soul growth, life lessons and life purpose.

Mary Joyce : So tell me a little about you, your lifestyle and what you are passionate about?
AM: My name is Anna Miranda and I am 33 years old. I am passionate about all forms of metaphysics and spiritual philosophy. I am currently in a two-year program studying interfaith ministry, religion, spiritual counseling and alternative healing therapies. When i am not working I love studying meditation and being outdoors doing any type of activity!! Hiking, rock climbing and yoga are some of my favorites.

MJ : Can you tell me about your business, who is Anna Miranda and what Creating Wellness is all about ?
AM : My business is all about creating a higher consciousness. Spiritual awareness and well being is the key focus. I work with individuals that want to expand their wisdom and knowledge of their highest self. My clients are other recovering from a debilitating illness or intense emotional trauma or just looking to create a happier life. I focus on healing therapy such as Hypnosis, Meditation, kinesiology, reiki and energy medicine. As well as VGN vibrational guidance navigation, which is a type of intuitive reading that I specialize in. For further details on VGN feel free to check out my website www.creatingwellnessinfo.net

MJ : What lead you to making the decision of creating your own business?
I began my spiritual journey at 16 after a profound near death experience. In my early twenties I started to guide people intuitively and spiritually, mostly friends and family. After a few years my father suggested that I begin to charge for my services since so many people were asking for my help. So I began studying all types of healing modalities and spiritual philosophy and began to treat my passion as my vocation. Today I am a working medical intuitive and spiritual adviser.

MJ : Has there always been a burning desire inside you to create this or did it your business evolve from your original idea? I have always had a burning desire to teach metaphysics since I was 16; however the way my business came to be was very magical. It just sort of happened on its own. It wasn’t until I began to have a basic steady cliental that I started to incorporate my business.

MJ : What did/do you find to be the most challenging part of your business?
The most challenging part of my business is the same as all business, maintaining a steady cliental. My type of service is not something most people look for in the yellow pages. Most of the time its all referral based.

MJ : What have you learned about yourself during the process of setting up your business? The first thing I learned was that although I am a natural at my vocation I had a lot to learn about business. So I am slowly taking steps everyday to become more business minded. I realized that if I truly want my business to be successful. I must put just as much effort in the business end as I do with each client that comes for intuitive guidance.

MJ : What advice would you give someone considering starting their own business? The first thing I learned was the importance of computer skills and being a part of social media. I am just beginning this social media journey with my business now. If you’re not a natural at business hire yourself a great web designer and business manager that can make all the difference.

MJ : What products or services do you provide for readers who’d like to be able to experience your work ? I provide 4 services: VGN vibrational guidance navigation readings . Healing therapy, hypnosis and meditation. (see www.creatingwellnessinfo.net to book a session )

MJ : What is the greatest success story for your business? The greatest success story of my business has nothing to do with my profit or me. It has to do with the success of my clients. One in particular, my client Andrea who came to me with third stage lobular breast cancer. After Months of chemo and radiation, Andrea and I mediated and used healing therapy and hypnosis throughout all her chemo treatment; we focused on her well-being and now a year later Andrea is still in full remission!!! There is no greater success than a client who receives wellness!!

Thank you Anna for sharing your story , your journey in creating your business and getting your gifts out into the world is very inspirational .
