What is your name?

What is your title?
Owner
What is your business name?
What is your website URL?
www.alyssaknappcoaching.com
What is your Instagram handle?
What is your LinkedIn URL?
How long have you been a Boston Business Women member?
Less than 1 year
Where are you based? How did you end up there?
Coventry, RI, I was invited by another member, and then others started tagging me when my services could be helpful.
Tell us more about your company! What do you do and what pushed you to start?
I empower other busy entrepreneurs and mothers with holistic tools for personal and professional development. I started when I left the Corporate Wellness world 4 years ago!
What is your definition of success? How do you know when you’ve reached it?
To me, success is knowing that everyday I am living in alignment with my purpose. I know when I've reached it when I am excited to start each day instead of waiting for it to be over.
Tell us about your most transformational moment as an entrepreneur?
Once I started applying my spiritual tools to my business, it helped me heal how I needed to release perfectionism and pivot when it feels aligned.
What was one of your biggest challenges in business?
Having kids! They have taught me a lot about priorities, boundaries, and letting go of control. Without my children I'd probably be even more of a work-a-holic than I am.
How do you handle the harder days? The struggles? Those moments when you feel like giving up?
These are the days I need to step back and check in with the lesson of the situation. Where are my energy leaks? What does my nervous system need right now? What can I release? All of these are questions I'll ask myself during these times.
How has being a Boston Business Women Inner Circle member positively influenced your life + business?
I've made a ton of connections and gained some new clients even before I joined! Love this community!
Tell us about your most proud moment in your career.
Releasing the fear of showing up as myself, by not feeling like I need to hide behind my old ``science-based`` approach and show up as my divine feminine self. I call this coming out of my Spiritual Closet lol.
Who is the woman behind your business? What does she like? How does she spend her free time? What does she value?
I am a multi-passionate human being who loves being in nature, spending time with my kids, creating and consuming delicious + nutrition food (especially tacos), reading non-fiction, and tending to my 30+ houseplants.
What makes you stand out from others in your field? What do you do differently?
I leverage my strong foundation in evidence-based practices and integrate multiple energy-based modalities to support mental, emotional, and physical health and address the energetic component of healing and personal growth.
Where can we keep up with you? What social media platforms do you use the most?
I mostly use Facebook groups (Alyssa Guastella Knapp) and Instagram (@integrativewellnessjourneys and @embodiedmommy)
