Carolina Brand Board UPDATE-02

Spirits Hive

Spirits Hive is a rebranded healing studio and community that can be found online and in Portugal. 

 

Whenever my client envisioned the creation of this community she saw hexagons. She requested the logo be something that would be small and simple. The 3 different shaped hexagons coming together symbolized the different people in different stages of their journey all coming together to create community. The main logo includes the branded font but the alternative logo is only the hexagons. 

 

For the website we switched from having content on wix, teachable, and etsy to just Kajabi. 

 

Kajabi is an all in one platform which means it hosts your online course, email marketing, membership program, shop, booking calendars, and website all in one place.  

Creative Nature

Stephanie came to me wanting to rebrand into something that was a more authentic expression of her personality. ⁣
⁣
She wanted something artistic, playful, nature-influenced, and show a flair for her love for Spanish culture. ⁣
⁣
Previously named Stream Source we decided to change the name to Creative Nature because this embodied the theme of her classes and workshops that are a journey back to your creativity, connection to nature, and simple living.

The original website was created on WordPress. For the new one we made it on Showit which allows for more creative freedom and lots of unique flair.

Shaughnessy

Shaughnessy is becoming a registered esthetician this summer and she wanted to get her brand started so that when she started offering services she had the platform and an engaged audience ready to book her services.

She had been collecting potential mood board images for a while before we got started working together. There were many different styles, colors, and vibes to choose from. In our brand strategy call, I guided her through a mediation and asked her a number of “this or that” questions, this gave both of us clarity and then I continued to tame her ideas until we landed at what felt right.

The style we came up with encompasses many aspects of her personal style and taste. It has influences of style ranging from the 1920s, French, psychedelic, retro, and luxurious. I think we really hit the target with this one – her brand is an embodiment of all of those.

Passion Pilgrim

Passion Pilgrim is a community that offers breathwork, yin yoga, life coaching, and mala beads. The intention of this community is to create a safe space so people feel safe in their bodies so they can reconnect with the magic of life and experience it more fully. 

When Passion Pilgrim came to me she had tons of diverse inspiration and had a lot of trouble narrowing it down to one look or style. The only specification she had was that it needed to be minimalistic. 

The windblown dandelion was something she lightly mentioned she was attracted too and we decided to go there since it resembles freedom, playfulness, creativity, purity, and trust. These all resonated with her brand values which are discovery, safety, connection, creativity, and real AF. 

The colors were very easy for me to nail down from looking at her personal style and current Instagram. I got a good feel for what colors she sees, wears, and shoots. Then it was a matter of determining the fitting shades.

Potager and Petals

Potager and Petals is a small home gardening business that sells produce and fresh bouquets in the local farmer’s markets. 

This client came to me with a very clear idea of what she wanted. The brand was to be french styled and the brand colors needed to be the same colors as their house. 

We decided on the hat for the emblem for the logo because it was more unique than the normal carrot, flower bouquet, wagon with produce logos that are typically in garden logos. A similar hat could also be a branding item that she could wear in her brand photos and when she sold her goods at the farmers market. This would help build brand recognition and it fit the french vibe as it would make her stand out as a little more sophisticated than most gardeners.

Elaine B. Bikes

Elaine is a professional mountain biker located in the Pacific Northwest. When I initially asked her for a brain dump of all of her favorite things she listed things like old things from a barn, stamped metal, asymmetrical things, 1930’s plaid, patina, rust, dirt, black. 

She was pretty clear on the colors she wanted and she needed a font that was recognizable so that it could be used individually on shirts, flyers, marketing materials, all potential gear would design and sell.  

Originally she wanted a round logo that was a bike cast with a mountain and her name inside. Once I presented her with other options she decided she liked the idea of the round bike chain best since it was a little more unique in her industry. 

Elaine's Website

Elaine came to me with the request to make her website easy to navigate, organized, and playful. She is a professional mountain biking coach and she needed a booking system integrated, a pop-up wavier, and an “Ask Elaine” column to engage all of her readers in outdoor advice and tips. She also wanted a small surprise for the website viewer. I came up with the perfect solution. I added in a feature that when you scroll over certain areas of their are bike chains that have a special motion effect.

Check out Elaine’s website and see how we hit all the marks.

Mind Body Colleen

Mind Body Colleen was the first brand I ever created. I was a yoga teacher that wanted to take create an online presence to share my teachings and wisdom. I fell in love with the process of branding which has now transpired to helping people create their unique brands.

My brand has a free-spirited anything is possible kinda vibe. I love the 70s and everything that happened in that decade. When you think of the 70s you may think of things like the counter-culture revolution, freedom, the psychedelic movement, conscious exploration, cross country travel, yoga became popular in the west. The list could go on but so many things from this decade are embodied in my personality and they are reflected embodied in my brand and what I share online.

Emotions stay energetically trapped in our bodies until it’s been given the space to process. 🌀 The stagnancy of it creates a block in your system. Stuck emotional information manifests as chronic pain, fatigue, diseases of all sorts, mental illness, etc. But it doesn’t take very long to start to clear these blockages and reside out of the body. Actually, it can process surprisingly quickly if you have the tools, support, and education to work with it.... (+ that’s essentially what you get in a session with me 😉 )

I get asked often how I got into Kundalini…  It’s a long whimsical story of all the ways the teachers showed up and the steps were laid out for me.  But the nitty-gritty of what happened was that I was practicing yoga for 10 years, and teaching for 5, I read all the self-help books, had many mindful practices, and voyaged through a few different spiritual pilgrimages around the world.  After all that I came to this point where I thought this would all be working a bit more than it. Frustration was my default emotion. I would be so self-critical. I struggled with expressing myself, knowing my worth, and relating to others. I realized I couldn’t just yoga my way out of all of it.  So I decided to let go of all my practices and teachings. The day I really accepted it was time to move on, was the same day I found my first kundalini teacher.  When I started working with Kundalini and realized I could start to clear the energies that held these emotions and patterns out. I could use different body practices and meditations to reprogram my subconscious mind.  With this things started to change for me….  My inner world was becoming a more beautiful place. My body started to come alive. People become responding to me differently. The scenarios I found myself in weren’t so hard all the time.  My desire and devotion for it came through seamlessly because I was getting high-speed results. Finally.  The more it transformed me, the more it gave me no choice but to — share it and open others up to the grace, radiance, and purification it has brought me. 🕊⚡️🕯✨

As Kundalini begins to rise it naturally starts to purify your system and open your energy channels. The amount of awareness and sensitivity in the body increase. Any numbness or disconnection starts to fade away. You start to come into your body. You start to come into your pleasure and sensuality. You start to experience a new spectrum of aliveness. And for me it’s so special to support my clients as they go through their own personal journeys of this.

For the next 24 hours, you can purchase my Kundalini Yoga Course for $50. 💸 This is a crash course on everything you need to know to start safely and confidently practicing Kundalini Yoga.  I created this course because there are not many places to learn the basics of Kundalini Yoga. When you go to a class they don’t explain or workshop any of the fundamentals… the only place you really learn this is when you take a teacher training, which is not very accessible. The link is in my bio use code “FLASHSALE50” at the checkout. 🪷 🫶🏼📿

Anytime I lay back, close my eyes, and connect to Kundalini Shakti — this is how it looks. The shakti comes through my crown… spontaneously my body dances, my hands go into a mudra, and sometimes I even start singing different tones. (This different from my light language.) It hasn’t always been like this. My process has only matured this way in the last 4 or 5 months. It’s taken a lot purification my system for the shakti to decide to harmoniously express like this through me. ————————————————————- Note: This is just to document my personal evolution and how I connect to the subtleties running through my body. This isn’t really an example of what happens in my client sessions.

Sometimes I rewatch this video + I judge myself hard…. I’m like dear god I am too cute and girly looking… no one will ever take me seriously and think that I am also powerful, wise, strong, and capable.  One of my previous teachers actually told me I am too young to offer the type of work that I do. People who book these types of sessions for support and release would work with someone with more that looks like they have more life experience.  It was hurtful.    Because my true essence does have that sweet innocent feminine sparkle to it. You see it in my face and feel it when I speak. But I have been trying to tone down the look a bit last few months so it doesn’t conflict with people’s trust in me to take them on deep intimate journeys to unblock their bodies.
