We had the good fortune of connecting with Jasmine Dominique and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jasmine, how does your business help the community?

Live Beyond Limits, Because Limits Are Merely Illusions……..

I believe that we are all here to inspire and to empower others. Censorship and the pressure to conform are inevitable. Influence exists in schools, at jobs, amongst familial norms, on social media and the list goes on and on. We have all been categorized or labeled somehow. 

Did you choose your identity, or did someone give it to you?

I provide a safe and restorative space for amazing people as they become very intentional about how they would like to curate their lives. My work consists of supporting those who are ready to liberate themselves mind, body and spirit.

I utilize my purpose, my gifts and my talents to encourage the community and the world to remain in harmony with “Their Truth”. I support others as they discover their superpowers and how they would like to implement them in the world.

Wellness and Art are the foundation of the work that I do. I am a (1) Mental Health Consultant and Coach (2) Spiritual Health Advisor (3) Reiki “Healing Touch” Specialist and Instructor (4) Doula and Childbirth Educator (5) Dance and Movement Instructor (6) Inspirational Blogger and Author (7) Podcast Host and (7) Health and Wellness Retreat Host.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

What sets the work that I do apart from others? 

My clients lead the way. I trust their ability to heal themselves, to love themselves and to enlighten themselves. As a team, we work together! I provide guidance and tools only when needed. Holding Space for my clients while including holistic and artistic mediums have proven to be very powerful! I remind my clients that they were born with the ability to heal and to empower themselves, I am simply an ally that supports them along the way.

What are you most proud of or excited about?

I am very proud of the growth and the impact. Several clients and students have committed to “doing the work” and to trusting the process. As a result, now they are creating the lives that they want while using their gifts to inspire others along the way.

How did you get to where you are today business-wise?

I have worked very hard and I have avoided mediocracy. Although I welcome opportunities, I do not wait for them. I am proactive and I give my creativity the permission to lead the way. I have vowed to always be a student. I have continued my education and eagerness to learn. Lastly, I have failed many times, but I refuse to give up! I remain open to receiving lessons that will ultimately strengthen my skills and ability to relate to others. The journey has not been easy, but I can confirm that if you do not quit the rewards will surely follow.

What are the lessons that you’ve learned along the way?

I have learned that no one owes me anything. If I have a vision, a dream or a goal it is my responsibility to do the work. Also, I have learned that it is very important to have a support system and to ask for help when needed! Failure is inevitable when you are building a business and a brand. I have learned that there should be a healthy balance between being humble and being confident.

What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story? 

I want the world to know that my brand and my story are rooted in love. My journey has been far from easy. In fact, it is my purpose (brand and story) that has prevented me from giving up when it seemed as if all odds were against me. I have encountered financial struggles, familial trauma and death, domestic violence and extreme exhaustion all while growing and altering my brand over the past 12 years. In 2012, I committed to starting a business and the process has not always been easy. LOVE is the driving force! My brand is an extension of my heart and soul.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Ok Best Friend, so we MUST eat some good food when you visit! First, let’s go to Vegelicious Cafe for a yummy and healthy lunch. Afterwards, we can visit Alkebulan Images to pick up some goodies like books, jewelry, clothing art and more. After we do some shopping, I will take you to the Jefferson Street Sound Museum and the Frist Arts Museum. They both have incredible exhibits. Since we will be downtown in Nashville, we can head over to Bourbon Street Blues to listen to some good music while enjoying a New Orleans style vibe!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I must give a shout out to the amazing teachers and elders that have supported me along my journey. I have been very fortunate to sit at the feet of the most intelligent and wise human beings. It is because of their patience, kindness and guidance that I am able to provide the services and support that I offer!

Also, I do not know where I would be without my tribe and the sisterhood that has breathed life into me over and over again. Sometimes, when you are the “Black Sheep” it is hard to find your place in the world. Often, you are misunderstood, overlooked and unheard. I thank my tribe for loving me.

I would like to give a special shout out to my clients and to all of the people that I have served in the community. They may never know how much they have impacted my life, but I always say that I am a lucky gal because I have the opportunity to observe others as they blossom and become more aware of their power and gifts. Every client or group that I have served has taught me valuable lessons.
