As a therapist, learn how you can come from your alignment to find your ideal clients.

External Core Resonance is a program designed to help you identify ideal clients or ideal people to work with and collaborate with.If you're a practiced person, you want your life experiences to be nourishing and supportive and  to have depth for you and for others. Since work is where we spend a lot of time, our work experiences matter. One of the best ways to influence your own development and transformation is to find your people—the people that you are most nourished by, supported by, and connected to.  When you are interacting with your people, the experiences will be richer and deeper for you and for them.
