The hearts behind IC
I'm Brook! Coming from Nonprofit Management and being a Somatic Facilitator of healing, I understand the intersectionality of business, ethics, and holistic health. I spent years learning my craft, failing through it all until I found the ethical ways to succeed in business through my own courageous efforts. I can happily say I found it … and I found Ayah, my partner!
Hey y’all, I’m Ayah. After years of burnout in the corporate world building my website design skills, accessibility skills and lead generation skills, I left my job. Being neurodivergent, I knew that I would have to find a way that works for me to help people that I value as well. Finding Brook helped me continue that craft without feeling like I was alone AND I could work in my zone of genius without compromise. Now I get to help thousands of people help thousands of people! The butterfly effect is real :)
