A Transformative Moment Changed Deanna Hansen’s Life & Her Business
It was literally a gut feeling that inspired Deanna Hansen’s thriving wellness business. After some major life changes, she experienced a series of anxiety attacks. Feeling frozen and numb, she intuitively pushed her hand in her abdomen and realized the pressure and pain it caused helped her relieve her anxiety and made her feel more grounded.
As a Certified Athletic Therapist, she knew the role that fascia plays in healing, but this broadened her whole understanding of the role that is played. It became her life’s work to help others experience the health benefits from what she calls Fluid Isometrics?. This ultimately led to Block Therapy?, a bodywork practice that is meditation, exercise and therapy all in one.
I talked with Deanna to gain some insight about her success to help other female entrepreneurs as they make their way in their own business. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE.
She talked about:
- How she learned to pivot from failures
- Why she could never be in a sales job and how her expanding community gives her the assurance to move forward
- How her work helps people become their own health advocates
- How she partnerships helped her expand her business.
Quotes to remember:
“When things don’t happen freely and easily, it’s a really good sign that you’re not on track
"If you have to butt your head against the door 50 times to get that door to open, it’s not the door you should be knocking on anymore.”
“It’s not what I say (about my business), it’s about what other people say.”
"We’re all just trying to find our way, but for me, it was just the need to show people how to self-care... From the bottom of my soul, I believed this helped and now we’re seeing it in the community as people experience it.”
“It is a movement and it has a life beyond me.”
