Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Severhill.
Hi Brittany, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was introduced to Reiki through a chance encounter. Once I learned about it, I was so intrigued, I went on to work with several Reiki Masters and mentors, and received several certifications. I wanted to use my knowledge to build a business helping others and opened HarmonyRitual to serve as a healing space. The name HarmonyRitual derives from the importance of finding harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Daily practices and rituals are key to self-care and balance for all those aspects of ourselves. I offer Reiki and Elemental Healing™ services as well as a HarmonyRitual line of aura sprays.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting your own business is never a smooth road. I had no idea how to set up an LLC, I had never signed a commercial lease before, nor had I done any professional marketing. The entire project was completely overwhelming, but day by day, step by step, I figured it out. It’s been an amazing experience to take on such a big challenge and see my efforts come to fruition.
As you know, we’re big fans of HarmonyRitual. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Harmony Ritual specializes in energy healing and gluten-free diet transitions. I’m a Reiki Master, certified Elemental Healing™ practitioner, and provide services online and in-person in San Diego, Ca. The name Harmony Ritual represents the importance of maintaining routines and rituals that care for and create harmony between the mind, body, and spirit. Energy healing can be an important tool in these self-care rituals. Energy healing is a non-invasive treatment that balances energy to promote healing and the well-being of your mind, body, and spirit. Benefits include relaxation, stress relief, emotional balance, and rejuvenation. It is an excellent addition to any self-care routine, or as a complementary therapy to traditional medicine.
My goal is to demystify energy healing and connect people from all walks of life to this beautiful and healing medicine. You don’t have to practice yoga or believe in any particular spirituality to experience energy healing- it’s for everyone! The concept is really not as “out there” as it may seem. Energy is all around us, and you are interacting with your own energy and other people’s energy every day, whether you realize it or not. Everyone can benefit from this gentle and effective therapy.
Through years of mentorships, internships, and training courses with experts and practitioners in various specialties, I have developed my unique blend of offerings for my clients. I know how hindering and intimidating it can be to listen to lofty, hard-to-grasp concepts of spirituality and energy healing. I strive to be a down-to-earth practitioner that can talk with you about energy healing in regular terms you can understand, I have seen firsthand the positive impact energy healing has on people’s lives, and I continue to explore all the wonderful ways in which energy healing can support self-care in my own life and the life of my clients.
Gluten-free Bootcamp is near and dear to my heart, and although it seems completely at odds with energy healing, I have found my own unique way to weave these services together.
My husband was diagnosed with Celiac over 15 years ago. When we transitioned to a gluten-free diet it was a difficult and overwhelming process. We had more than one incident where he accidentally got “glutened”, including right before our wedding! Through trial and error and years of experience, I have developed some proven strategies to successfully navigate the gluten-free lifestyle. I love helping individuals and families make a more seamless transition to the gluten-free diet, reducing stress and confusion by providing straightforward, crucial information about gluten-free food and cross-contamination.
My focus is not only on a change in diet but on working together to address both physical and emotional healing, as well as the family and social dynamics that come into play with a restricted diet and lifestyle change.
Energy healing can be an effective tool in easing emotional distress as you recover and transition to your new gluten-free diet. For interested clients, I use Reiki and other forms of energy healing as supplemental support throughout their journey.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Trying to find a mentor can be tricky and it can feel awkward to specifically ask someone to be your mentor. But it important that you are upfront about what you want to get out of the relationship. Mentorship requires a time commitment on both sides, and you want to find a mentor that is willing to put aside time specifically to help you learn and grow. One approach is to find experts who offer mentorship as a paid service. If you go this route, make sure that your goals and philosophy align with the mentor, otherwise in the end you may not feel it was worth the expense. Another approach is to network and find people with whom you can create mutually beneficial relationships. This is a more economical approach and also requires that you be willing to put yourself out there and risk rejection. The most important thing to remember is that even though you may be new to the field and have a lot to learn, you bring other life experiences to the table that experts in your desired field can benefit from. For example, if you have prior marketing experience, you could offer free consulting services to a highly respected practitioner in exchange for some mentorship on a specific aspect of the business where you have less experience.
