I love this woman. Jeannie has dedicated her life to healing and nourishing people and she is so authentic and generous and I am so thrilled to be sharing her insights in our latest Weekend Edition. And if you have the opportunity to visit Jeannie and her magnificent team if you’re in Sydney at Venustus, it’s worth it.
“I feel my best self when I am with my family Gary and Zac. They are the true loves of my life, my whole heart belongs to them. Yet I am very independent and have my very own strong opinions. My tribe also includes my core team at Venustus, Fleur, Haruko, and Kayo, who have all done ‘the work’ of getting to the core level of self-reflection; and my support girls Robbie, Lucie, Elle and Veda are called in for when I need to bounce around the hard stuff, they are not afraid to tell me exactly how it is, in their own beautiful way, which is the essence of being truly supported and cared for.
I believe I am here (this journey on earth) to live an ethical life and to help as many people as I can, in my own way by sharing everything I known and everything I have found on my journey.
I began seeing healers from the age of 18 and as a result, it has been an incredible life. I have had as many challenges as most people and at times cried for months, usually in the bath, but after that, I have always managed to get off the mat and keep marching through life. “
I am truly blessed to have found what I love early in life, because it has allowed me to master my craft over time. Venustus, Paddington is a space where people gravitate to for various reasons:- to surrender/want to look ten years younger/to decompress after a huge week/escape from their children (who they love dearly) and/or they feel the need to connect with me.
I live by the core values of loyalty, ethics, love trust and being authentically me.
These are some of the quotes I use to help myself, my team, my clients and my friends stay aligned:
“Ethics,
“Be the truth seeker in your own life, for yourself”
“Help good people be extraordinary”
“You need to be, beyond reproach”
“Behave as though you already have it”
“Hand it over to the universe and wait, just wait”
“Love of self, love of another, communal love and universal love, in that order”
“My Venustus team has worked with me for over two decades, which is extraordinary, considering the standard 2-4 year staff turnover in the beauty industry. To ensure staff longevity and a superior team, I realised I had to put the time and energy into attracting the right ones that would want to stay and evolve with me and the business. It is incredible when you do find the right person, because you can keep investing, keep teaching and keep growing both personally and professionally. What that means for our clients, is that every member of the team has a broad beauty and body skillset and can do every treatment at the highest level, both energetically and physically.
I believe it’s essential to know what you are great
I love my team all so much and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them. Together we can and do achieve remarkable things. I never, ever, give up on helping my team achieve – and maintain – a level they never thought was possible. They are then amazed at what incredible work they can do. I see their potential before they can. I truly love my work.
BE grateful for everything you have, for everyone in your life. Not just of what you have and where you are, but for what you bring to this world, right now, right here. BE present.
This is my Morning gratitude prayer. Before I open my eyes, while I am still in bed in the morning, I reach over and hold a crystal, then say either in my mind or out aloud:
I am so grateful I can see
I am so grateful I can hear
I am so grateful for this amazing body with all the bits,
I am so grateful for Gary, I am grateful for Zac
I am so grateful for the puppies, that lick my face, for the rooster & the chickens
I am so grateful for living in this beautiful
I am so grateful for being a free woman, for being able to do whatever I want – for being able to choose “
“Then I get up and I like to spray an organic mist and I either have a bath/sage smudging/palo santo smudging/
how can I be the best mum
how can I be the best boss
how can I be the best partner to Gary
how can I be the best me
So I am thinking about this, seeing it, feeling it, falling in love with it.
Decide I will have it and then inform and hand it over to the universe
I like to create altars everywhere & have ceremonies often…
On holidays I love to read about business & the latest thought that resonated with me was that successful people in life can “articulate clearly, who you are, what you do and most importantly, why”
BUY
Right now I’m buying animal spirit cards, Banyan tree card, Midori notebooks, I find things on my travels and then stock them in Store so my clients have access to it all.
I also am in love with
