Resonance Marketing

01/06/2026

For us soulprenuers, there is an intelligent pacing to a business’ growth — a pace in resonance with “the natural way of things”.

Our ability to show up well long-term, with values intact, is based on us continually:

(1) aligning with the greater vision we’re sourcing from

(2) tending to our own “stuff” that inevitably comes up in work and relationships

(3) deconditioning the way we contribute to oppressive systems, and

(4) becoming ever more embodied in the one who can show up for the vision we are stewarding.

In my experience, this is the path of the conscious entrepreneur — and it’s intertwined with restoring the thriving of all life.

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with the people behind Kindred Forest, a couple walking their path with such grounded integrity. Their work is rooted in a vision of personal, communal, and ecological renewal — which means they must listen and respond to the land, the community, and their own capacity in ways that restore balance and harmony. I see their pace of growth maintaining integrity, intimacy, trust, and coherence in the vision and work they’re stewarding — and it’s quite remarkable to witness.

This kind of pacing really matters as business owners whose work reaches beneath the surface of things. When our pace is in resonance with “the natural way of things”, we build something that transforms US just as much as it transforms the people and places we serve.

I’m a little embarrassed by the values of the web design industry. I think they’re missing the whole point… As a web designer, I take a different approach rooted in heart, depth, clarity, connection — and hopefully catalyzing each others becoming in service to something much bigger than just ourselves ❣️ Let's keep asking what's most important.

Many of the clients I get to support are visionaries. They’re oriented toward what wants to emerge—a future of possibilities that feel more truthful than the present. Their work is less about fixing problems and more about restoring coherence, integrity, and wholeness.

For visionaries, their services are simply the container through which their values come alive. Their work is deeply relational, knowing that real change often unfolds in relationship.

This year, I had the honor of supporting such a person. Andi from Desired Futures is a strategic advisor and culture shifter who helps mission-driven organizations build cultures of care and accountability. She is committed to cultivating resilient, trauma-informed, values-based workplaces where both people and organizations can thrive well into the future.

Together, we dove deep into her expertise to uncover the core insights that shape her beliefs and inform her approach. These are often the very insights that need to be brought forward in marketing for coaches and consultants—not as slogans, but as orienting truths. They help people recognize what you stand for and how your perspective speaks directly to their challenges. They’re statements that make someone pause and think, I’ve never heard it said quite like that—but it feels deeply true... and is intriguing.

Andi’s work is already deeply embodied and integrated. My role was simply to clarify the most potent through-lines, shape language that carries her knowing and expertise, and position her offerings so they meet her ideal clients where they are—making it easier for the right people and organizations to be drawn into her work and ready to connect.

A share on the journey of becoming ~

7 years ago, I made the leap into starting my own business. So much has unfolded since then—and yet, I notice that the heart of it has remained the same.

From the beginning, I found myself naturally drawn to therapists, wellness practitioners, coaches, consultants, and other solopreneur women who feel their work in their bones. I kept meeting them at a certain threshold of becoming: ready to accurately and meaningfully reflect the essence of what they do and why in this current evolution of their journey.

Along the way, I learned that I’m highly organized, creative, strategic, an excellent listener, and that I have to genuinely believe in the deeper mission of the work I'm supporting, otherwise my fulfillment falls flat.

While supporting 70+ businesses over this time, I found that I didn't really have to market my own. And thank goodness because shining my own light professionally feels like a struggle. (Thanks to my Chiron in Leo in the 10th house, for my astrology friends who know.)

Although I’ve felt the pull to refresh my own brand and website for a while, and I decided to lean into this discomfort. I want to honor this meaningful journey I am walking with integrity and alignment, and continually meet my own growth edges as they become visible.

What I do and why hasn’t changed—but who I am within it continues to deepen into truth. Put simply, my work is an exploration of how essence takes form. I hold space with presence and inquiry—listening for who my clients really are, what they really offer, and why. Then I translate that into strategy, writing, design, imagery, and tech systems on the web.

This process brings great clarity and empowerment because having someone reflect you back to yourself—and articulate the truth of your work in a way that resonates in a marketing-friendly way is difficult to do alone.

As you can see, my work is much more than just web design. It’s a way of catalyzing each other’s becoming in service to personal healing, collective liberation, and cultural renewal. With this refreshed brand and website, I’m honoring my work and my artistry as sacred.

May this threshold usher in the next chapter of my own becoming, just as I support my clients in theirs.

(I invite you to take a look at my new website, and let me know how you experience it! Thank you for following along :))

Sometimes web designers need a new website, too ;)

It’s been 7 years of crafting brands and websites for small businesses at Resonance Marketing—and I’ve decided to take some time this season to refresh my own. Check back at the end of October to see the next iteration of my artistry and services come alive.

In the meantime, I welcome you to reach out with your website needs. Let’s explore how we might work together.

Supporting Tooth Butter in website design was literally an answered prayer that went something like... "Great Spirit, help me to become one who boosts local food systems through beauty, art, and community building..."

Well, Hannah of does this exceptionally, folks!

Can you feel the richness of her passion, art and mission through her website??

It was also super sweet to work together at the threshold "cottage bakery" turns "bakery". She's gearing up to open inside in Urbana SOON. Very fortunate community we are.

Brand Strategy & Website Design is how I support small businesses. But for some, the support doesn't stop after that 8-12 week project.

Ongoing marketing consulting, email marketing, graphic design, materials design, and website maintenance are some other ways I get to nurture longer-term relationships with my clients.

I've had the honor of supporting TBY Yoga on a monthly basis for the last three years, including tech support on transitioning to Mindbody and graphic design - to name a couple ways!

Here are some of our recent graphics... Can you feel TBY's spirit?!

Well, hey there!

I've been supporting some pretty extraordinary soul-prenuers, and I thought you might want to know about them! As to not smoosh too much goodness into one post, I'll introduce you to one here.

For the last several months, I've been supporting Earthkeeper Wisdom School in launching their 10 month apprenticeship called A Year in Ceremony. I stepped in as web designer, marketing strategist, and communications manager with the goal of enrolling 22 right-fit students by end of July. And dog-gone-it... WE DID IT.

Earthkeeper Wisdom School revives living culture through Earth-reverent, soul-nourishing ritual and community. Take a moment to enchant yourself by taking a walk through their website...
