Today, we’d like to introduce you to Mary Welp.
Hi Mary, thanks for sharing your story with us. Maybe you can tell our readers some of your back story.
When I was 40 years old, I realized, or should I say I awakened to the fact that I was lost. I had been working so hard to keep my family and employers happy that I had lost sight of what made me happy and my needs. I can now look back and see how I was a reactive zombie in my own life.
With this tear-filled self-confession, I surrendered. I decided to stop and start let life lead me to my gifts and talents and where I could serve. What unfolded over the next 20 years is pretty unbelievable and unpredictable.
For a woman who had never had a massage, heard the work chakra, or had an inclining that we have conscious and subconscious minds, I became a craniosacral and hypnotherapist helping others return to their true selves. I am so grateful for the journey that my life has been.
Now, at 65, I have knowledge and tools that I enjoy teaching others. Our culture does not address anxiety, depression, guilt, worry, and other emotions that tend to burden us. I witness the mental health struggles that we as people are going through now, and I am excited to share my tools with all.
I developed RISE Hypnotic Meditation as a way to marry meditation and self-hypnosis so that one can go inside and shift unwanted fears, habits, and imprints. I have found that by teaching others a way to shift unwanted energies, work is more accessible to people when they need it. The 4-step process of RISE is in the acronym-Relax, Imagine, Suggest, Empower.
I have shared this transformational work at yoga studios, festivals, mental health fairs, schools, corporations, and private events. There are many ways that we can calm our bodies and our minds. Now is the time we all learn these techniques for good health and happy lives.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, it’s not a smooth road at all! Once I had the idea for my hypnotic meditation business, then I needed to begin educating others about hypnosis and meditation. There are many false notions out there about these practices.
It is a very comfortable, easy, direct, and adaptable practice that anyone can do in the comfort of their own home, car, business, or wherever.
I appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am most proud of the results my clients are getting.
It is so empowering and affirming to see your creation help someone to change an anxious mind to calm; a fear full mind to excited; a sad mind to accepting. We are in charge of our happiness, so when I witness someone ready to take that journey of self-discovery, I am grateful and excited for them.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I am a risk taker. My father worked for GE, and we moved a lot as kids. I think that experience helped me to be comfortable with risk-taking. It also helps to be 65. I love getting older and caring less about what others think. I feel more comfortable in my skin than ever.
