Rise Up Star Program

To answer this question, it's probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and resulting "compelling story," that brought me to where I am today- coaching people like you on exactly what to do to soar their power and their health and confidence. That defining moment in my life happened in 2005.
I began dating my husband during college. Often, we would go to his home so I could study in a quiet place and get away from my annoying roommate. I saw a picture of Carmen Electra on the back of his door and announced that I was going to be like her. She was on a pole. He laughed confused, thinking I wanted to be a porn star. Naively, I had no idea what that was, but I knew at that moment I would be a pole star! To me, a pole star was utilizing the pole to become strong, confident, and powerful. The tricks, the movements- slow and fast, the overall science and health to a Pole Star were just astonishing to me. I knew that in time the more I worked at Pole myself the more I felt inside my hear that this would help others to achieve their health and confidence dreams.

I attended a local amateur night. I kept my clothes on! I watched the one performer do a flip on the pole and knew I could do that. I did a flip on that pole! I did hit my head, but only my husband seemed to notice. Because I am a dancer, it came very easily and naturally to me. I was hooked. Although North Dakota doesn’t require certification, I went to Las Vegas to get my official certificate in pole fitness and opened up my own studio.

After having my daughter in 2011 and nearly losing her due to preeclampsia, and delivery issues, I made myself a promise that I would do everything in my power to mentally, physically, and emotionally do what I needed to, to be sure to be here for my daughter. I made the decision to continue on my health and wellness path to better control type one diabetes and hypothyroidism. On this journey I discovered the tools to become confident and strong, so that I could lead, teach, and help my daughter and others gain these skills in life as well.

A few years later, I discovered Reiki. I had returned from a wedding in the Virgin Islands and came back itching constantly. My friend who was with me suggested I allow her to do distance reiki on me. I was desperate for relief, so although I didn't know what that meant, I agreed. Within 15 minutes, my itching went away completely. After several incredible experiences with Reiki, I knew this was my calling.
Reiki and pole fitness got me through personal barriers I didn't even know existed. Reiki has helped me move passed old barriers and limiting beliefs, extreme mental and emotional trauma that I had as a child, as well as experiencing my father go through some really bad times due to a horrible termination gone wrong (morally and ethically with his employers) and then took it out on my mother physically and us emotionally through chronic yelling, complaining, repeating of continuous bad words over and over again, This had continued well into my college years. To back up, I was diagnosed at age 12 with type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism. This intensive bad happenings that my family experienced all seemed to happen during this time as well. Once I had discovered Pole in 2009 while my dear friend took me to Fargo ND to take classes, I immediately fell in love. The pole- static and spinning had a way of erasing all my bad life experiences - physical and emotionally. Along with all those emotional thoughts that I felt while my husband was diploid in Kosovo for that year (2009-2010). Pole helped me conquer physical strength that I didn’t know I could achieve, as well as a level of determination, confidence and diligence to complete a “job” that most of my family and friends say I “never finish a task…”. Here I was able to conquer that “trick” and move to the next one, etc. If it could heal and transform my life so profoundly, I knew it was the vehicle I needed to help others.

I cleaned up my past and started teaching women how they can do the same: I watched their confidence and health escalate too! I have since made a commitment to coach women on how to live their most healthy and confident life - moving forward past the limiting beliefs standing in their way.
Since then, I’ve worked with many private clients, spoken in front of countless groups. I’ve lived my dream of helping women with a variety of challenges transform their lives, become confident and healthy - all while earning an income with my online business, and traveling to Greenland and Ireland. I have created the Rise Up: 12-Months to Unleashing Your Most Healthy and Confident Self Program.
I work with many people like you who are determined, independent, self-driven, honest, natural-born leaders, teachers, coaches, women who listen and respect one another and are open to coaching.

What makes you different from other “Holistic Coaches”?
Although we will occasionally touch upon how I am spiritually guided - intuitively receiving messages to help us to get to the root of things, to help you become your most healthy and most confident self, you have me as your health and confidence expert and consultant. I work on the inner and outer principals for success and look at your health and trigger/trauma results from an organic and spiritual perspective. What that means to you is that you get a wise-sage-meets-kick-butt authentic health and confidence coach. I'm also very spiritual, and I don't pretend to hide it either. Because I'm not delicate, you'll always get a straight to the point quick and honest response from me.

I’m concerned with how to get your health and confidence rolling in FAST and STOP wasting your energy, time, money, power on FADS that won’t get you to your best healthy and confident self.
You may not like what I have to tell you, but you can be sure I will always tell you the truth - the truth about what’s standing in the way of your success and how to get rid of it FAST so you can start getting results in record time (and I throw in a healthy dose of humor and inspiration, which always helps ;) .

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?
The Rise Up: Unleash Your Health and Confident Self- workshops, programs, products were created for people who are absolutely serious about getting healthy, gaining self- confidence, pushing forward against limiting beliefs. This means not running around all day long, beating yourself up anymore saying: "Oh, it's because I can’t afford it, or I need more strength, or I do not believe in this, or I need to be more fit to do that.” They were created for you to put systems in place within a few months (sometimes weeks!) which will eventually lead you to gain more confidence, health, praise and joy.
Being a high-achiever, go-getter myself, I'm known to work best with other high-achiever, go-getter people who are committed to their own success no matter what, who are super-ready to get going and just want to know exactly what steps to take to get healthy and confident. My clients often tell me – "just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!" Consider what you'll do with me to be a high-octane crash course on everything you need to know to succeed in your goals. You will be expected to take serious and consistent action. No excuses anymore, just a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve this incredibly exciting goal: achieving your healthy, confident, magical self.

For what type of professionals are your programs NOT going to work?
Please know I’m very selective in who I work with and cherry-pick my clients, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for. (It wouldn’t be fair to them). Rise Up: 90 Days to Unleashing Your Most Healthy and Confident Self - programs are not for those who have no money coming in and are absolutely, financially desperate, at least not right away, and are not ready to take on their own self-accountability for heath. It’s been my experience that people in financial crisis do not trust the recommendations I give them and do not work (probably because they spend too much time worrying about where they are going to get next month’s rent check or mortgage payment). If you fall within this category, it’s absolutely OK. We’ve all been there in times of financial crisis at one point or another, Do yourself (3) favors:
Get some money coming in with a full-time or part-time job at the very least, and then call me. This will take the edge off and provide a little more peace of mind. Mostly, it will de-clutter your mind enough to focus your Rise Up: 12-Months to Unleashing Your Most Healthy and Confident Self, assignments, and the BIG picture.
Follow Jez-Mir-Izing Retreat Center on social media – Facebook, Instagram, TikTok for the Jez-Mir-Izing Healthy Living Talk vlog. The free information will get you started towards your goals until you're ready to work with me one-on-one.
Make a point to join my private Rise Up: 12-Months to Unleashing Your Most Healthy and Confident Self Facebook group. The weekly tips will give you lots to think about.

Doing these three things will really help you get primed for our work. When you're ready, call me, and we'll get you started. (I'm in no rush and will be here when you need me.) Other types of personalities I will not work with (without exception) are the whiner or the chronic skeptic, as well as individuals who consistently make excuses for not getting their assignments done or challenging every aspect of the program. If you are one of these people, I gently and respectfully ask that you not call and I hope you understand why. We’ll probably just not work well together, and I wouldn't want you to waste your time or money. Is that fair?

What exactly is Rise Up: 12-Months to Unleashing Your Most Healthy and Confident Self - program, and what does it include? Rise Up: 12-Months to Unleashing Your Most Healthy and Confident Self begins with establishing your true intentions as to what you want and where you want to go. Understanding your what your personal self-sabotage thoughts are and how to get you above and beyond old limitations (including better health and confidence), creating a self-powerful routine to help get thorough those rough days and helping you to allow your-self to celebrate the small win.
Here’s what the System gets you to do:

1. Set Your Intentions We examine where you are in at in your health and confidence journey thus far and get you CRYSTAL clear about your intentions, what you want to experience in your personal life. Before you can manifest what you want, you have to know what you want.

We’ll pave the way for exciting opportunities, synchronicities and better health and confidence.

You’ll be learning proven techniques for breaking through inner resistance, self-doubt, fear, anxiety, emotional trauma, and all of that “stuff” that keeps you feeling like a “victim” rather than taking your own power back and gaining that self-confidence.
3. Transform Now it’s time to supercharge and amp up your energy and discover enthusiasm to transform your negative internal dialog. This is where you reprogram your mind, body and soul.
4. Receive Being open to new opportunities in life and being able to receive as women will dictate how much joy we invite into our lives. Master the processes to help you speak with integrity to yourself and others. This is where you become able to receive, even though you have always been a giver. It’s a skill that will help bring more of what you want into reality.
5. Your personal Success Routine You will get the knack of implementation and finally bring everything together. Learn to set up mental triggers for consistent results for staying motivated and having positive momentum.
6. Just Get Over It How to eliminate Stress and Anxiety for Good

We will guide you through the action steps on creating the life you love and closing the door on limiting beliefs, emotions and feelings. Creating the space for more personal love, health and feelings.
9. Celebrate! We’ll focus on a lot of our tie celebrating wins and creating the new habit of celebrating what’s showing up for you. What you focus on expands and everything you are learning and experiencing is of your creation. Your confidence will soar as you consistently produce results over and over again! Celebrate what shows up so you can pave the way for even more success!
