We’re wrapping up 2025, and I know what’s happening in the wellness industry right now. Everyone’s posting about finishing strong and planning for the new year.
But if you’re like most practitioners, you might be secretly thinking: I just want to crawl under a blanket until January 15th.
Between holiday planning, travel, family obligations, and the pressure to set goals—especially if this year didn’t go the way you hoped—it can feel triggering and exhausting.
So let me say this clearly: wanting to rest and nourish yourself isn’t laziness.
Sometimes you genuinely need rest. But sometimes what feels like exhaustion is actually energetic resistance. And today, we’re going to talk about that resistance—and how to clear it so you can start 2026 with momentum instead of stuck energy.
The Real Reason Your Business Feels Stuck (It’s Not Strategy)
Here’s what I need you to understand: the real reason your business feels stuck—even though you’re doing all the right things—often has nothing to do with strategy.
Don’t get me wrong. Strategy matters. If your strategy doesn’t match your revenue level, or if there’s a mismatch between your program, price point, and audience size, that’s a problem we need to fix.
But strategy isn’t everything.
If you’re implementing strategy while carrying energetic blocks around money and success, those blocks are like cobwebs in your business. They bog everything down. They restrict growth.
Think about fascia for a moment. When it’s aligned, when you have good hydration, nutrients, movement, and posture—fascia slides and glides smoothly. There’s no stickiness, no pain, no restriction.
But when fascia becomes dysfunctional? You get that cobweb-like system that goes erratic. Movement becomes restricted and painful.
The same is true energetically in your business.
So today, we’re grabbing the spiritual broom to sweep out those energetic cobwebs in an end-of-year clearing session. When you’re done, you’ll be energetically ready to call in dream clients these last few weeks of the year—and set yourself up for massive momentum in 2026.
The Money Blocks Plaguing Wellness Practitioners
Here’s what’s really happening in the wellness industry right now.
Most practitioners are walking around with blocks about receiving money—despite all the money they’ve spent developing their skills. All those certifications. All that training. All those licenses.
These blocks come from multiple sources:
Inherited patterns from spiritual teachings. Many wellness practitioners have absorbed beliefs from gurus and spiritual teachers about money being “unspiritual” or charging for healing being somehow wrong.
Family money patterns. Sometimes it’s thought processes handed down from your parents, their parents, or generational patterns in your family lineage. Beliefs about what “people like us” deserve. Guilt about charging what you’re worth. Confusion about what success really means and if you’re worthy of it.
Helper identity conflicts. You got into this work because you’re a natural healer. You genuinely care about your clients’ transformations. You really want to help people.
And what gets in the way? Asking people for money for that help. Raising your prices to a sustainable level. Developing marketing tactics that make you visible to more people.
When you have blocks around all of this, it creates a weird energetic mismatch that leaks into everything: your content, your consultations, how you show up, your entire client attraction system.
Many wellness practitioners struggle with this tension between wanting to help and needing to earn sustainable income. Understanding how to price your services in a way that honors both your value and your clients’ transformation can help bridge this gap.
Three Ways Money Blocks Show Up in Your Business
Block #1: The Passive Approach
You say things like: “I’ll just put this program out there and see what happens.”
No real call to action. No clear invitation. Just hoping someone magically decides they need you.
That’s because a direct offer feels pushy. Or you simply forget to include the call to action in your caption because your mindset is so focused on fears and scarcity that it can’t hold space for the strategic steps.
Block #2: The Discount Spiral
Someone hesitates about your price during a consultation or conversation after yoga class, and you immediately offer a discount. Or you start adding bonuses. Or you make the program longer.
Because charging what you really want to charge feels uncomfortable in your body.
I have entire episodes about pricing (back in the 200s, including a meditation), because you need to charge a price that feels aligned for where you are now. When you do, you’ll show up more confidently.
But you also need to unpack why certain price points feel aligned—and whether those feelings come from true alignment or old money blocks.
Block #3: The Self-Sabotage Cycle
You set a goal. You get close to it. And then mysteriously, something goes wrong.
Your internet cuts out during crucial sales calls. You forget to post about your offer. You get sick during launch week.
It’s not bad luck. It’s your energy saying: “I’m actually not ready for this level of success.”
This one used to blow my mind and make me feel so frustrated. I felt like I didn’t have control. I didn’t understand how my energy could actually block revenue from coming in.
Until I started working on my own money mindset and scarcity thoughts.
Then I could see how when I was in scarcity—when I wasn’t feeling abundant or sufficient—I showed up to my business differently. I wouldn’t work on activities that actually connected me with ideal clients. I’d feel so overwhelmed that I’d literally freeze. I’d stare at my computer screen or unconsciously scroll Instagram thinking it was “research.”
Time and money leaks would disappear into thin air, but I felt really busy and like I was working really hard.
I had to audit my time to see what I was actually doing. It was uncomfortable work, but incredibly eye-opening. It showed me where I actually do have control—and how my thoughts, mindset, and energy directly correlate to the actions I take (or don’t take) that bring revenue in.
Developing the problem-solving mindset that allows you to see and seize opportunities is essential for breaking through these self-sabotage patterns.
The Blinder Effect: How Scarcity Blocks Opportunity
I’m reading a Dan Brown novel right now (he wrote The Da Vinci Code), and there’s a scientist character who talks about GABA neurotransmitters and how our brain chemistry affects how open we are to awareness outside our periphery.
Think of a racehorse with blinders on. Depending on your GABA levels—which are influenced by stress, sleep, nervous system regulation, and all those healthy living practices you know about—your brain can literally have blinders on where you miss opportunities right in front of you.
When you’re in scarcity mindset, when you’re in fight-or-flight mode, when you’re hustling because you desperately need money now—your brain creates a blinder effect.
Our brains receive massive amounts of input every day. Social media. Conversations. Traffic sounds. Children calling. Sensations in our bodies. To-do lists. Our conscious awareness can’t handle all that stimulus at once, so our brains filter it. We put on blinders.
Here’s how this plays out practically:
I just had a client call where we realized she’s having conversations with students after yoga class—potential clients who are telling her their problems. And she’s giving them free advice right there instead of recognizing the opportunity.
Instead of saying, “Oh my gosh, have you considered working with a practitioner to help with this? This is the exact work I do with clients. Would you be interested in a free consultation to talk about working together?”
She’s giving blind advice. And I’ve been there too. I can’t tell you how many times I gave advice after class and never knew what happened. Sometimes they’d try the advice, it wouldn’t work (because I didn’t have their full context), and they’d associate that failure with me—which definitely didn’t encourage them to pay for my services.
It’s like sciatica, right? For some people, twisting relieves pressure on the nerve. For others, it flares it up. Forward bending opens space for some people and exacerbates it for others whose fascia is wrapped around the nerve differently.
You could give advice that works great for one person but makes another person worse—because you don’t have their full scenario.
When I think abundantly, I realize: If I get this person into a consultation and they come into my program, I can help them better. I can serve them at a higher level.
That’s a completely different energy than thinking: “Oh, they don’t want to work with me. They don’t want to pay. I’m too expensive.”
Those scarcity thoughts create the blinders that prevent you from making the offer.
My client Dana, as soon as we realized this pattern, started making offers for consultations and booking them right there. That changed everything. She went from one client to hitting $7-9K months in her first year of business. She’s going to have a six-figure year (or come really close) in her first year.
Had she kept the blinders on, she wouldn’t have received as many consultations or clients.
If you’re missing opportunities to convert interested people into consultations and clients, learning how to ethically enroll through authentic sales conversations can completely transform your revenue trajectory.
Three Implementation Strategies to Clear Money Blocks
Okay, let’s get practical. Here are three strategies you can implement today to clean out those energetic cobwebs—or at least bring them into conscious awareness so you can work through them.
Strategy #1: The Belief Excavation Exercise
Grab a journal and answer these three questions:
Question 1: What’s the biggest amount of money you’ve ever made in one month? And how did it feel in your body?
Were you open to receiving it? Did you feel like it was a fluke? Did you worry you weren’t going to get those clients the results they paid for? Did you feel unworthy? Were you afraid someone would get mad?
Question 2: When you imagine doubling that number, what physical sensations come up?
Is it excitement? Openness? Or is it fear, scarcity, worry? Why?
Question 3: What would people in your life say if you suddenly became wildly successful?
Would friends judge you? Are you afraid family members would try to take advantage of you, beg for money or time? How does imagining their reactions make you feel?
Your answers to these questions—the physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions—are clues to your energetic blocks.
- Tightness in your chest might be fear of visibility
- A knot or dread in your stomach might be unworthiness
- Heaviness in your shoulders might be the weight of others’ expectations
Write down where in your body you’re feeling it, what you’re feeling, and if you can identify it—why? What thoughts are associated with it?
Once you identify these patterns, place a hand on that part of your body and say:
“This is an old pattern. Thank you for this knowledge.”
And if you’re ready:
“I am ready to release this. It’s safe for me now to receive.”
Anytime you notice the pattern returning (which is normal—you don’t usually eradicate it in the first go-around), don’t criticize yourself. Just notice it. Say, “Oh, that’s the old pattern. Cancel, cancel, clear.”
Once you’ve gathered the insights and acknowledged what you’re feeling, you can shift to what you want to feel instead.
Strategy #2: The Energy Clearing Ritual
This is especially powerful for end-of-year clearing. It’s a physical representation of what you’re releasing.
Step 1: Write down all the limiting beliefs you identified in Strategy #1 on pieces of paper.
Step 2: In a safe container (or if you’re like my husband who loves weekend bonfires), burn those papers while saying:
“I release these limitations. They are not my truth. I am open to receiving abundance in all forms.”
This ritual retrains your nervous system on multiple levels—energetically, emotionally, intellectually (your brain sees the logical representation), and somatically (your body experiences the release).
For me, I need to work on all those levels because of how easily I can talk myself out of things and stay stuck in patterns. The physical ritual helps anchor the shift.
Strategy #3: The Energetic Alignment Practice
For the next seven days, before you do any marketing activity, sales pitch, or consultation—whether that’s posting on Instagram, sending an email, or having a conversation—take 30 seconds (or even just 5 seconds) to set your energetic intention.
Here’s how:
Close your eyes. Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly. Say:
“I am in perfect alignment with receiving my ideal client at the perfect time.”
Or use a sentence that resonates with you:
“My work creates value and it’s safe for me to be compensated.”
This is where the Evidence List and Belief Scale I teach my clients becomes so powerful. When you do those activities daily, you actually believe that sentence because you have so much evidence behind it. You’re creating new neural networks.
Then, imagine yourself actually receiving payment with ease.
Feel the sensation of seeing a deposit notification. Feel the lightness in your body when money flows to you without struggle.
Here’s something fun I do: When checks randomly come in the mail—I’ve been getting weird random checks lately from my insurance company, home insurance, healthcare insurance, credit cards (somehow I overpaid them all). They’re usually $2 or $7. Once I got over $100 from the dentist.
I notice where I’m tempted to reject the money or feel like it’s “not enough.” Then I catch myself and say:
“Oh my gosh, thank you! What a surprise. Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.”
Then I multiply it in my mind. That $2 check becomes a $2,000 check. A $20,000 deposit. How can money flow to me that effortlessly?
I’m opening myself to receiving money in any form it comes—not just the ways I try to dictate or control.
It’s wild and fun to play around with. See what surprise money shows up in your life when you practice this.
Strategy Without Energy = Ferrari Without Gas
If you’re thinking, “Alison, this all sounds great, but I have real business problems. I need real strategy, not just energy work”—I hear you.
Here’s the truth: Strategy without energetic alignment is like having a Ferrari with no gas.
You can have the most beautiful strategy that looks amazing. But without gas, it’s not going anywhere.
This energetic alignment is literally your fuel.
If you listen back to past podcast episodes (I leave them all up), you might notice energy shifts in how I talk, what I say, how I show up. And here’s the truth: even recently, I have bad days. Days where I feel scarcity in my business.
That’s normal and it’s okay. You can still sign clients even with that. You don’t have to be 100% perfect and in alignment every day.
But the more you’re aware of the patterns that shut you down, the more you’ll take the blinders off and open yourself to opportunities.
It’s not a light switch that has to be on or off. It’s a dimmer where you’re dialing up the abundance and opportunities while dialing down and releasing the patterns that block them.
When you combine this energy work with strategy? That’s when you really take off.
I used to wake up with so much anxiety in my business early on. Some days I still feel it. But I have so many more days where I don’t—where I feel sufficiency and peace. So much healing has taken place in my business because of this work.
Building a sustainable wellness business that supports your nervous system requires both strategic systems and energetic alignment—you can’t skip either piece.
Your Action Steps for End-of-Year Clearing
Let me recap the three steps:
Step 1: Answer the belief excavation questions. Uncover your patterns. Bring them into conscious awareness. Notice what you’re feeling, thinking, where you feel it in your body.
Step 2: Do the physical cleansing ritual. Actually go through the process of writing down limiting beliefs and burning them. Release those blocks consciously. And maintain awareness for when patterns return (they will—you’re human). When they do, release them again. Cancel, cancel, clear. Shift to what you want to feel.
Step 3: Practice energetic alignment before marketing and sales activities. For the next week, intentionally shift your energy before you post, send emails, have consultations, or conversations after class.
Try this for the next week. I can’t wait to see how it goes for you.
What’s Coming in 2026
Stay tuned—I have some episodes coming up that people love every year: my end-of-year wrap-up where you’ll hear what happened in my business this year, and my planning episode for 2026.
Let me give you a sneak peek of what’s coming:
I’m bringing in a new group program called The 100K Online Practice Blueprint. My one-to-one clients will get this for free—additional calls beyond your calls with me.
Here’s why I’m creating this: I’ve been watching my Instagram Message Makeover Clinic clients have amazing wins—doubling their audiences, booking more consultations, filling workshops, posting more consistently, creating content faster. It’s been so rewarding.
But what I’ve been hearing is that sometimes we need to scale beyond just Instagram. Instagram is the fuel for in-person networking strategies, but we need to talk about those in-person strategies in more detail—workshops, networking events, how Instagram integrates with them.
Or if we’re boosting posts, what’s the funnel in the background? Where do we take people—to a lead magnet or a consultation?
Some practitioners want to use Instagram and stay relevant but don’t want it to overtake their lives (which is the whole point of the clinic—doing it sustainably). But some of you want to lean heavier on in-person strategies or heavier on Instagram.
I want one program with fluidity and flexibility for growth—all in one container.
The 100K Blueprint will cover:
- In-person marketing strategies
- Online marketing and Instagram
- SEO and searchable marketing
- Closing consultations
- Funnel strategy
- Email writing
- Money mindset and energetic blocks (like we talked about today)
It’s everything I currently do with one-to-one clients, now in a group format.
Program details:
- 6 months long
- $2,000 total (payment plans available under $400/month)
- Includes the Instagram Clinic as a 6-week intensive within the program
- Includes Manifest & Move monthly somatic, manifestation, and breathwork classes with replays in the portal
- Starts officially in February 2026
My one-to-one clients get all of this included.
I’m offering early bird specials where you can start now at the end of the year and get bonus one-to-one calls with me, DM access, then join the group program in February.
If you’re a current one-to-one client, you’ll be able to join this community in February and have calls outside your regular calls to keep you motivated. We’ll all work together.
One thing I loved about the Instagram Clinic was the community—practitioners supporting each other, collaborating, connecting. I want more of that for you.
Book a consultation with me and we’ll talk about your goals, where you feel stuck, which program interests you, and your next steps. You’ll get information about early bird bonuses or how to secure your spot at current pricing before rates go up in January 2026.
I’m so excited for what’s coming for you—both the end of this year and all of 2026.
Clear those energetic cobwebs. Release those money blocks. Open yourself to receiving.
Let’s finish this year strong and start 2026 with massive momentum.
I’ll see you next week. Bye for now.
