In this interview, we meet Tessa van Keeken, the founder of Lift Your Spirit, a holistic transformation coaching practice that started in Ireland and now is based in the Netherlands. At the beginning of the lockdown, she had to stop her practice face-to-face. At the same time, clients were not ready to have their treatments online. Tessa tells how when the business stopped, she focused on partnerships to prepare podcasts and new programs. In the meantime, a lot of her clients had such a hard time dealing with the uncertainty of the lockdown, that slowly they joined her online meditations which hosted for free just to help people to get through it.
