The six-step AIM Pathway™ within AIM

Awareness-in-Motion™ (AIM)

"From awareness to action. From insight to lasting well-being."

1

Notice

Slow down and notice what's really there, without judging yourself for having it.

2

Name

Give words to what you're feeling. Naming brings clarity, not labels.

3

Care

Meet yourself with compassion instead of criticism. This is what makes change possible.

4

Choose

Pick one small, honest next step — not ten overwhelming goals.

5

Support

You don't have to do this alone. Lean on the people who are really there for you.

6

Integrate

Bring what you've learned into everyday life — not perfectly, just consistently.

“
I finally found a safe place where I truly belong in Antonia and Kathleen’s holistic group. I joined while carrying a heavy burden from an outside injustice, but this supportive community has been a total lifeline—reminding me that an unfair situation doesn’t define my truth and helping me move forward with my integrity intact.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't know what I need help with — I just feel "off"?+

That's actually a perfectly good place to start. You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We'll help you notice and name it together, at your own pace.

What if I try this and it's not for me?+

That's okay too. The free 30-minute meet & greet by Zoom is there so you can ask questions and get a feel for things — no pressure, no commitment, camera optional. You decide what feels right for you.

Is this therapy?+

No. This isn't clinical treatment or diagnosis. It's a gentle, supportive space for self-understanding and personal growth. If you're looking for clinical mental health care, Antonia can help point you toward the right kind of support.

Do I have to share things I'm not ready to talk about?+

Never. You share only what feels comfortable, when it feels comfortable. This is your process, done at your pace.

Is this only for people going through divorce or loss?+

Not at all. Those are common reasons people reach out, but this space is for anyone in a season of change — a career shift, a shift in who you feel like you are, or just wanting to understand yourself better.

How much does it cost?+

The guided holistic wellness groups, in person and virtual, are free to attend. The only cost is the group’s module companion guide, called Journey Together. Fees for one-on-one sessions are talked through together during the free Meet & Greet, so we can find what works for you. The first call is free. See the pricing section.

Do I need a phone number or video camera to join?+

No. Everything is by Zoom, and your camera is always optional — audio only is perfectly fine. If you'd rather not use a computer, you can dial in to the Zoom call by phone.

How do I get started?+

Book a free 30-minute meet & greet by Zoom with Antonia or Kathleen. We'll talk about what you're going through and figure out together whether the guided holistic wellness group or one-on-one support feels like the better fit.

Where we work

Local & Worldwide
