Big Leap Coaching - Love Crafted Soul Healing
Identify Upper Limiting Patterns
With Love Crafted, Soul Healing, we get friendly with ourselves. Read that again. Friendy. Our healing will be limited unless we do.
In this work we become curious about our old patterns that keep us looping the same results. Getting clear is a process - especially if you've experienced fear, pain, trauma, loss, heartache. And who hasn't really?
Your nervous system is doing its job to protect you. Protection is a brilliant strategy until it protects you from love, abundance, creative expression and joyous expansion.
By identifying how we limit ourselves, we can begin to make different choices. And I was taught by a very wise sage - "Remember, Edie - to heal means to stop and re-choose".
BeFriend our Fears
Until we can become friendly with our fears, they will run our lives. Fears aren't to be avoided, overcome, or 'feared'. - they are to be accepted as our bodies physiological response to a real or perceived threat. That means, fear is GOOD. It's happening. And we get to decide if, in the moment, we are safe or we are perceiving ourselves as safe.
Then Melt Them
All fear can be melted with Breath, Movement, and Love. I'll teach you how to identify your own Fear Signature so you can become more intentional with your life, and more empowered in your choices.
Bodifying
Our body has an opinion about everything we experience negatively, and positively, and if we are curious about what the body has to say, true expansion and healing happens naturally. And In like, 2 mins rather than years and lifetimes.
Breathing Exercises
As a professional body worker for over 30 years, I know a thing or two about breath work. When we hold our breath, our bodies think we are in danger and we contract. Contraction is restriction. Restriction causes anxiety and stress to the nervous system. Resistance to what we are wanting to create. It's allllll in the breath. Most of us have forgotten how to breath - or even TO breath. I'll remind you how and teach you how to use breath to heal, and to manifest.
HaHa Healing
I'm bringing funny back.
We take ourselves waaaaaay too seriously, and with a lighthearted approach to healing, we can learn. We can take in information and process it easier + faster... we can grow, we can expand, and we can remember to laugh at ourselves in the process.
Edie's Story
Meeting Steven Tyler
I heard Janies Got a Gun for the first time in 1989. Pulling my car over and crying for the first time in years, I asked God to please let me meet Steven Tyler and Aerosmith and thank them for seeing me. For caring about girls like me. In 2017 that prayer came true.
Here's the scoop
Her Why
Experiencing severe neglect, physical and sexual trauma from an early age, Edie ran away from home at fifteen, cycled in and out of foster care, leaned on alcohol and drugs, and then, at age 27, began to pull herself out of that life after being properly diagnosed with severe P.T.S.D.
A few short years later, she left the nursing profession to become a Nationally Certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist which introduced her to a whole world of non-traditional healing modalities and energy work including Reiki, Transcendental Meditation and cutting- edge wellness techniques of psychoneuroimmunology, specialized trauma therapies and mindfulness practices. Taking personal development into her own hands, studying, and learning from the best of the best, she began to heal.
With a heart devoted to helping others and a passion for transformation, Edie became a Certified Professional Life Coach and created a boutique healing practice in 1997 to assist people in a process she calls SHED SHIFT SHINE & SERVE.
"Nothing makes me happier than sharing the tools and methods I've learned in my healing journey to help others SHED what holds them back, SHIFT their energy and beliefs to connect them back to their authentic selves - their Essence, and watch them expand & SHINE like the lights - I believe - we are all meant to be. Then the whole world becomes a healthier, brighter, more loving place."
Drawing from an expansive 30-year career in mental health, wellness, and personal development, as well as her own transformational experiences, Edie is a sought-after life coach, trainer, and educator, having spoken for Lululemon on Empowerment, as well as numerous health and business organizations, including the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. She is a certified Big Leap Coach and scholarship recipient from The Hendricks Institute.
Adding SERVE to her own SHED SHIFT & SHINE process, She recently joined with Hollywood’s Elite and Rock Royalty to share her story on stage at Steven Tyler’s 2nd annual Grammy Viewing Party Gala for Janie’s Fund in Los Angeles, California, helping to raise more than $2.8 million that night for girls who’ve suffered from abuse and neglect. She proudly and humbly holds a seat on the Executive Council for Janie's Fund.
Edie is passionate about sharing her story with as many audiences as possible in hopes of letting those who still suffer know that they matter, and to inspire them to use their own voices and stories as a way of healing and empowering themselves. Using her story as a platform for change, she also hopes to educate and inspire groups, organizations, corporations, churches, and institutions who have an interest in Empowerment. A Professional Speaker listed with Southwestern Speakers Bureau as well as The RAINN Speakers Bureau (the Tori Amos founded Rape Abuse Incest National Network), Ms. Allen is an expert in Personal Development, Empowerment, Transformation, Mindfulness, Psychoneuroimmunology and Resilience.
“…I realize my usefulness to others depends on how much or how well I show up. I simply couldn’t show up before. I was wounded and I wanted to make myself invisible. I was just trying to survive. Now, I'm ready. I've done the work to heal, and I want to inspire others to be Warriors for their own Wellness, Bo Eason once said, 'You don't have to be the best storyteller, you just have to be the bravest.' That spoke directly to my soul. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Sharing my story isn't easy, and will never be easy. Sometimes doing the right thing isn't easy, but when you know it's the right thing to do, and you have a desire to help others, You do it. You do the hard thing."
