EP 22: The Journey from Employee to Entrepreneur with Guest Terrie Hanscom

Terrie is the owner and practitioner of Positive Vybes and hails from Beverly, Massachusetts. Terrie graduated from the nursing program at North Shore Community College in 1988 and has truly found it to be a joy working and `raising’ some of the most talented surgeons in the country, including Dr. Atul Gawande, over the last 30 years. During that time, she also observed patients coming into the Operating Room full of anxiety, fearful, and a little to a lot stressed. Then, about 15 years ago she took a workshop on preoperative meditations and liked the premise so much, she started implementing it at her institution and ran the program until she retired in August 2022. Over the years she’s taken classes, done the research, and finally developed her own program: The +VYBES (Visualize Your Best Elective Surgery) program. This program incorporates clinical meditation and imagery along with energetic body work, assisting patients in balancing their body physically as well as emotionally. Among many other certifications, she is certified as a Usui Reiki Master Teacher. During our episode with Terrie we talked about the challenges she faced going from corporate to entrepreneur, the money mindset hurdle for what to charge, and the importance of learning the basic foundational business strategies. Terrie is offering our Listener’s 10% off their first session of Meditation For Surgery. She is also offering a Free Meditation Class On March 7th, as well as a Free Meditation Video Download.
