ANNOUNCEMENT: New Horizons for KindNest in 2024
Embracing Change and New Beginnings
Introduction:
David Bowie once said, "Discipline doesn't mean that you have breakfast at eight o'clock in the morning and you're out of the house by half past eight. Discipline is if you conceive something, decide whether or not it's worth following through, and if it is… you follow it through to its logical conclusion, to the best of your ability. That's discipline." You may have heard me reference this quote before. It’s because these words reflect what I set out to do through KindNest – follow the vision I conceived, of providing support to women and couples, to its logical conclusion.
As such, KindNest, as a place of solace, support and empowerment for women and couples, has embodied this philosophy throughout its existence thus far. As I look back on the incredible journey that has unfolded in what will soon be 5 years since we opened doors, I recognize that sometimes, following an idea through to its logical conclusion leads to unexpected and transformative new beginnings. Such a new beginning is on the horizon for KindNest come January of 2024.
The Vision Unfolds:
KindNest was born from a deep desire to provide solace and support to those who have experienced the profound grief of pregnancy loss. It began with my personal experience over a decade ago now, with the realization of how common pregnancy loss is and a need for more support, and quickly expanded in subsequent years to encompass holistic support for various stages of life, from fertility and pregnancy to parenting.
At its inception, I envisioned my role as merely the person bringing together the resources and expertise of others, as the one running the business. However, life had other plans. My path lead me to become a life coach and energetic healer, and I soon discovered that this one-on-one work would be the most impactful and rewarding aspects of my role as Founder, both financially as it relates to keeping the doors open and lights on, as well as emotionally and energetically, by influencing the balance of peace and suffering within individuals.
Five Years in the Making:
2024 will mark five years since I embarked on this journey of having a brick-and-mortar location, constantly seeking the best way to work with clients individually while also running a community space. The global pandemic provided a unique opportunity to learn that the vast majority of individual clients prefer to work together remotely, leading to a pivotal realization I’m now embracing: I no longer require all the physical space I initially envisioned.
A Bittersweet Farewell:
The time has come to acknowledge that KindNest, as a brick-and-mortar community space, has reached its logical conclusion. This decision has not been easy, and my emotions have run high. Still, I am confident it's the right choice. I grapple with feelings of failure alongside a sense of letting down those who believed and invested in the original vision of KindNest, but it doesn't change the fact that despite my best efforts, under my direction the community space has not flourished in the way I once envisioned.
The Good News:
There is light at the end of this tunnel. KindNest is not going away; instead, it is evolving. As of January 2024, the community space at 1 Rosell Drive will thrive under the capable hands of Molly Conway of The Body WorkShop Physical Therapy, who has called KindNest home for the last two years. This change will allow me to channel my attention, energy, and resources toward growing KindNest as the coaching and energetic healing business that has had a profound impact on people's lives over the last five years.
A Look Back:
As we bid farewell to this chapter, it’s important to acknowledge the achievements that have graced KindNest. The number of teachers who facilitated classes and workshops (numbering 32), practitioners who called KindNest home to their business (9), and clients who have been a part of this community (2,500+ and still counting) is a testament to the difference we have made. We have created a welcoming physical space, and nurtured a community that will continue to evolve and grow in its next iteration.
Gratitude:
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my family, clients, the community, and supporters who believed in this dream, as well as to The Body WorkShop for enabling the physical space to live on in a new way. While mixed emotions may linger, it's clear that it's time for a big change, making room for the next phase where KindNest can touch more lives more deeply.
What’s Next:
KindNest's evolution into a virtual realm brings forth exciting opportunities. I am thrilled to announce that I will continue offering my Inner Alignment Coaching program, which has touched the lives of many, empowering them to harness the innate power of their minds and bodies.

Conclusion:

This transition is not the end, but a new and promising beginning, and I look forward to the journey ahead with hope, determination, and the discipline to follow this evolving vision to its logical conclusion.
