How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I felt the calling to move the world forward by working with children and their families. Even though young, children experience stress in their lives, whether from emotional bullying from schoolmates or siblings, stress of performing (tests, homework, chores, living up to certain expectations, responsibilities, etc.), relationship issues with family members, generational issues, or previous life issues, to name a few. Children need avenues for stress release. After all, children are people too.

What makes your business unique? Why do you think it will be a success?

My business is unique in that I focus on healing the family unit - children and their families - at the core, at the place of origination. My business will be a success because it is filling a need in the world today. The success of humankind starts with the family unit. And the success of the family unit lies within each individual, children and parents. Children are being neglected and overlooked as is evidenced by news reports of killings and suicide by children. After all, how can parents who have yet to heal themselves help their own children heal?

What are some of your top business-related accomplishments, or business lessons learned?

The most important business-related lesson I have learned is to place God and family before business. When these are all in the proper place in your heart, you have the makings of a very successful life.
