How One Woman’s Bold Leap From Corporate Life Sparked a Revolutionary Journey to Reconnect Souls Worldwide
Monikka Spruyt spent years in corporate. Then, the training organization she worked for was being merged into another. She’d also just had her third baby.
She saw it as a sign. Starting over in another corporate role wasn’t what she wanted. This was her moment to build something of her own.
So she backed herself instead.
She trained as a life coach, an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner, and a Reiki healer. She opened Connect Holistic Health — a business built around helping people untangle the noise in their minds and get more out of their lives.
I get to do it on my own terms. My number one hat is mom. And then I run this business in and around that.
Why WordPress.com
Monikka had a website on another platform before. When challenges in the back end of her business gave her reason to pause and reassess, she decided to switch — and go through a full brand refresh at the same time.
WordPress was already familiar. She’d used it extensively in her last corporate role. When it came to choosing a platform for her own business, that hands-on experience made the decision easy.
WordPress was my go-to from my corporate days. I already knew it, I already trusted it.
She could have built the new site herself. But as a sole trader juggling clients, a family, and a growing business, handing the build off just made more sense.
So she signed up for the Website Design Service — a WordPress.com team of design experts who build the site for you. From there, she could easily tweak and add things herself as the business grew.
Having the team build it and then managing it myself? Best time-for-money decision I’ve made.
