Hello everyone,

I am honestly blown away. ✨

The first Holistic Business Networking Meeting, scheduled for March 5th, filled with 24 incredible people in just 10 days — and that kind of enthusiasm tells me something very powerful is happening within our holistic-minded community.

It is so important to me that these gatherings create real, meaningful connection. 🤝 Every single attendee has time to speak about their business, share what they offer, and be truly seen.

To preserve that experience, each meeting will continue to be intentionally capped at 24 participants.

And because there is clearly such strong interest…

I’m expanding.

Rather than simply making the room bigger, I’m expanding the opportunity.

Moving forward, I will host two standing Holistic Business Networking Meetings each month:
🗓 First Thursday of every month
🗓 Third Tuesday of every month
⏰ 12:00–1:00 PM

You’re welcome to register for as many dates as you’d like. Offering two separate meeting dates each month creates even more opportunity for variety, collaboration, referral opportunities, and meaningful cross-pollination within our values-driven network. 🐝

We are intentionally building an ecosystem where aligned businesses can support one another while strengthening the families and individuals we are all here to serve. 💛

This space is appropriate for:
• Holistic practitioners
• Wellness providers
• Clean product creators
• Freedom-focused entrepreneurs
• Organic-based farms and conscious food producers
• Holistic and/or integrative animal & human health professionals
• Service-based businesses aligned with holistic health, personal freedom, and conscious living

If you are committed to providing high-quality, trustworthy resources and care to the holistic-minded population, this space is for you.

Please follow the newly updated link below to access the appropriate registration pages if you are interested in signing up for any of these upcoming networking meetings:

I’m so excited about what we are building together. 😁👏🥳🙏
Looking forward to connecting with everyone!

Still repeating the same relationship pattern?
Valentine’s Day often highlights what we want — but it rarely addresses what may be blocking us from sustaining it.

I’m now offering Private Relational Alignment Intensives for discerning individuals who are ready to break repeating relational patterns and build long-term partnership from a secure foundation.

This work begins with a comprehensive 90-minute Relationship Readiness Evaluation to determine the most aligned path forward.

From there, clients may be guided into:
• An 8-week relational recalibration intensive
• A 5-week strategic alignment intensive

Enrollment is limited to preserve depth and focus.

If you’re ready to approach partnership intentionally — rather than repeatedly — you can learn more and schedule your evaluation here:

So excited to share again that my NEW Holistic Hive Directory is gaining real momentum ✨

This space is being intentionally built to make it easier to discover trusted, values-aligned holistic practitioners and businesses — without having to sift through noise, algorithms, or guesswork.

I’m incredibly grateful to already have some wonderful providers and businesses joining — each rooted in integrity, transparency, and genuine care. This is very much a quality over quantity model, and it’s been inspiring to see how naturally the right people are finding their way here.

As this community continues to grow, I’m looking forward to welcoming more practitioners, makers, and businesses who feel aligned with this vision and who are truly here to serve the holistic community with thoughtful, heart-led offerings.

✨ If you offer holistic services or values-aligned products and feel called to join us, there is still an early member discounted rate available for those coming in during this founding phase.

🌿 Whether you’re seeking holistic support or feeling the nudge to be part of this growing resource, I’d love for you to explore:

Update on upcoming offerings!!

I posted previously about an upcoming offering regarding the incredibly knowledgeable and talented Sacha Fossa; Holistic S*x & Intimacy coach.
We've heard of interest from people, but also scheduling conflicts due to short notice, so we have decided to change the previous date for her offering from Saturday, January 17th to February 2nd, 2026 at 8-9:30pm for those who need evening availability, and a SECOND offering on Saturday February 28th, 2026 at 11am-12:30pm for people who need a weekend late morning with more time to plan.

To review more of the content regarding this offering, please see the description below:

✨I’m hosting a live Q&A conversation I’m genuinely excited about. So many people I meet in life could REALLY use the guidance this woman can provide! ✨

I’ll be sitting down with Sacha Fossa, a seasoned s*x & intimacy coach and educator, for a live, community-based Q&A where real questions are welcome.

This isn’t a lecture or a polished presentation. It’s a space for honest curiosity, nuanced conversation, and grounded insight around s*x, intimacy, embodiment, and connection—facilitated in a way that feels respectful, safe, and real.
You don’t need to know exactly what you want to ask.
You don’t need to be an “expert.”
You just need curiosity.
You’re welcome to participate actively, listen quietly, or keep your camera off if that feels more comfortable. Sacha has a way of meeting people exactly where they are—whether they’re exploring, questioning, or ready to go deeper.
I wanted to host this because these are conversations many people want to have… but don’t always know where to bring them.
Details + registration are in the links.
Hope you’ll join us. 💛

My Story- Awakened Transformation Using Energy Psychology

ABOUT: Hello! My name is Kerri Morrison, and I am the owner and therapist/educator at Awaken Holistic Counseling Services, LLC in Newburyport, MA!

Founded in October of 2016, I set out to create a new model of therapy based in spiritual awareness and energy medicine; truly bringing an integrated approach to the healing of my clients.

In February 2017, I set up shop above Starbucks on Market Square in Newburyport, and I am thoroughly enjoying the work that I do; helping people to “awaken” to the life they are meant to be living!
