Enough is Enough: The "Miracle Package" Epidemic in the Healing/Coaching Space

By The Artful Woman


It's incredibly frustrating. As someone who's dedicated countless hours to mastering healing modalities and coaching techniques, I'm pouring my energy into helping others. I'm putting myself out there, ready to guide people on their journey. Yet, my inbox is constantly flooded with pitches for "miracle packages" promising overnight success. To be blunt, it feels like wading through a sea of snake oil.

The Problem: Empty Promises and Exorbitant Prices

From $1,500 to $8,000, these self-proclaimed gurus all claim to have the "secret formula" for instant fame, wealth, or whatever else my heart desires. LinkedIn, in particular, has become a virtual used car lot, with aggressive salespeople sliding into my DMs, each insisting they hold the key to unlocking $52,000 in business within 24 hours. The claims are outrageous, and frankly, I'm sick of it.

Why are so many people trying to sell me expensive coaching packages? 
The coaching industry has seen significant growth, leading to an influx of individuals aiming to capitalize on its popularity. Many of these sellers use aggressive marketing tactics, targeting professionals with promises of rapid success. It's crucial to research and verify the credibility of such offers before making any commitments.​
  • How can I discern genuine opportunities from scams?
  • Research the Coach: Look into their background, testimonials, and track record.
  • Beware of High-Pressure Tactics: Authentic professionals won't rush you into decisions.
  • Seek Transparency: Legitimate offers will provide clear information about services and pricing.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it's worth taking a step back and evaluating further.​
What steps can I take to protect myself?
  • Set Clear Boundaries: Don't hesitate to decline unsolicited offers.
  • Join Trusted Communities: Engage with groups or forums where professionals share genuine experiences and recommendations.
  • Invest in Continuous Learning: Equip yourself with knowledge to make informed decisions and recognize red flags.
Why are these "miracle packages" so prevalent? 
Many people are looking for shortcuts to success, and the coaching/healing space attracts those who are eager to build a business quickly. This creates a market for these "get rich quick" schemes. The online business world makes it easy to create and market these packages, even if they lack substance. Fear of missing out (FOMO) and the desire for validation can make people susceptible to these pitches.

Why don't the sellers use their own "secret formula"? 
Often, the formula is exaggerated or simply doesn't work as promised. Selling the formula itself can be more profitable than using it. They might rely on a combination of marketing methods, including the ones they criticize, to reach a wider audience. The "secret" might be effective only in very specific circumstances, or require a level of skill/resources that the buyer doesn't have.

If this message stirred something in you… don’t ignore it.

Visualization Tips for Meditating with Light

By The Artful Woman
  Visualization Tips for Meditating with Light  1. Start with Sensations, Not Just Images Warmth: Instead of seeing light, imagine the feeling of a warm glow entering your crown and flowing down through your limbs. Tingling: Visualize a subtle tingling sensation accompanying the light—it makes it feel more real. Gentle Pressure: Imagine a light current pressing gently as it moves through your body. 2. Break It Down into Smaller Steps Single Point Focus: Begin with a small point of light at your crown chakra. Grow It Gradually: Let it expand into a small ball, then slowly guide it through your body. Limb by Limb: If the whole-body visualization feels too much, take it one limb at a time. 3. Get Creative with Your Imagination Color: Choose a color that feels calming or powerful for you. Texture: Imagine the light is silky, soft, or liquid—whatever feels healing. Sound: Add a soothing hum, chime, or frequency to make it more immersive....

Meditation Tips for Beginners (or Anyone Struggling with Focus)

By The Artful Woman
  🌿 Your Healing Journey Starts Within 🌿 I recently started meditating—and let me tell you, it’s been life-changing. What I’ve come to realize is this: everything you need is already within you . Your thoughts, your beliefs, your energy—they all shape your reality. And the best part? You are in control. You can shift your perception. You can rewrite old stories. You can change your beliefs and your future. You can even transform your relationship with your past—not by changing what happened, but by changing the meaning it holds through the power of your mind. This journey started for me as a way to heal from the trauma and PTSD I experienced after my stroke. I was focused on rebuilding my strength, regaining my stamina, and taking care of my body and home. But the deeper work—the inner healing—has come through meditation and energy work. I dove into courses on energy healing, mindset, and how our thoughts quite literally shape matter. It’s wild… your thoughts create ene...

Staying Present in Meditation: Tips to Calm the Mind and Refocus

By The Artful Woman
  “When the Mind Wanders: Gentle Ways to Return to Stillness” Meditation isn’t about having a blank mind—it’s about learning how to come back. It’s completely normal to drift into thought during meditation, especially when you're working with visualization. One moment, you’re feeling the beautiful flow of light moving through your body… the next, you’re thinking about your to-do list or what’s for dinner. That’s not failure. That’s the nature of the mind. The real power comes from noticing when you've wandered—and gently returning, again and again. Here are some simple and compassionate ways to quiet the mind and guide yourself back into your meditation practice when distractions arise. 1. Acknowledge and Return (Without Judgment) Don’t fight the thought—just notice it. “There’s a thought.” Redirect your focus with gentleness. This is how you build mental strength. 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Tune into physical cues like warmth, tingling, or pressure in ...

Unlocking the Flow: A Beginner’s Guide to Energy Healing and Manifestation

By The Artful Woman
Unlocking the Flow: A Beginner’s Guide to Energy Healing and Manifestation ​ When I first set out to understand how energy works, I had no idea I was embarking on a transformative journey. From exploring quantum energy healing to delving into Reiki practices, I discovered that energy isn't just a concept—it's the very essence of our thoughts, emotions, and physical existence. I learned that thoughts are energy, and when focused upon, they can manifest into tangible reality—a principle often referred to as the Law of Attraction. This realization was both mind-blowing and exhilarating, opening doors to a deeper understanding of how we can consciously shape our lives. ​ Understanding Energy Healing: Energy healing is based on the belief that a vital energy flows through the body, and disruptions or imbalances in this flow can contribute to physical, emotional, and mental health issues. An energy healer works with the human energy field (also known as the aura or biofield) t...
