Mia Jerritt

I marry the business of business with the power of soul work to create and my mission is to create a ripple effect that transcends the confines of the workplace or of ‘I’. To generate ripples that extend into home, volunteer, church, health, relationships, community, and beyond. As the Dalai Lama once said, “Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into the water, the actions of individuals can have far reaching effects.” I am a powerful spiritual and transformational coach for consciously awakened individuals and organizations who are ready to up-level their world to match their soul driven purpose and vision. I am unapologetically fearless as I walk in my truth, own my divine gifts, and use my voice to create the biggest and boldest breakthroughs possible for my clients. I specialize in working with organizations and executives who aspire to create an environment of cultural connectedness and change which results in high value outcomes and a ripple effect which extends beyond the workplace.

Mia is trained in the art of Conversational Intelligence which supports both communication and leadership training for individuals, teams and relationships.

Most people, unknowingly, are entrenched in an abundance of critical thinking and deeply rooted survival mechanisms designed to keep us ‘safe’ and stuck in our predictable ways of being. This ultimately holds people back from achieving the desired results they crave. On this co-active journey, you will be introduced to both your survival mechanisms as well as your authentic self. With this awareness comes the opportunity to see all aspects of your life through an entirely different context; one which allows for limitless possibilities and options you never dreamed possible. You can expect one hour per week with Mia for a minimum of 3 months. Each session will result in a series of time-sensitive projects to be completed prior to the next session. Together, you will work on 'foreground' projects you identify, such as relationships, career, health, job etc. while in the 'background' we work on having you shift your thinking so you begin living your life from your true Essence. All sessions are done via phone, FaceTime, Skype or Zoom. Payment is made in blocks of 6 sessions or monthly. See each package to establish costs.

On a Desperate Journey is a book written about dysfunctional eating and the consequences of the words we speak around food, weight and our bodies. It was written after more than 20 years of working with women in the fitness industry who couldn't seem to find peace with their bodies.

The Healthy Back Program is a comprehensive, post-rehab, in-home back care program designed to help individuals who are living with chronic lower back pain. The program was developed in 2002 in response to an overwhelming need from clients being directed by the medical community who had sustained work related injuries, car accidents and general overuse conditions causing chronic lower back pain. This 5 - 8 week, self-paced program, teaches clients a series of 11 stretches and 9 exercises which can be done anywhere with only a stability ball and a mat. Although the program has been developed on DVD for in-home use, there are certain conditions which require the guidance of a Healthy Back Practitioner. The uniqueness of the program is in it's ability to modify each stretch and exercise to accommodate several different conditions such as sciatica, hip and knee issues as well as shoulder and neck issues. Check the Practitioner page of the site to see if there is one near you. The DVD will guide you through over 4 hours of specific instruction to help you create your own unique stretch program and core stability program. There are over 20 short video clips which build into one complete stretch and one complete core stability program. Once you have completed the DVD you also have the full color manual you can take anywhere so you never have to worry about forgetting the cuing, order or goals for each and every component of the program.

The Core is an acronym for Creative, Original, Restorative, Exercise. It is a unique studio created for the post-rehab client which morphed to include so much more. Mia created a series of 8 programs to address specific injuries and needs which were not being met in the Comox Valley. She had a back care program; a hip and knee program; a posture program; a back care program; an advanced core stability program; a nutrition program; a transformation program and a program for individuals living with chronic pain. Within each program she worked with 8 people at a time, twice a week for 6 week rotations. Her work was very well know throughout the Comox Valley and the majority of the clients were referred directly from the medical community and/or word of mouth. She sold the studio in 2015 to pursue other dreams and passions.

Fitness Excellence is a full facility fitness centre which was unique in it's time. It was the first facility of it's kind on Vancouver Island with a full physical therapy clinic; a coffee and food bar; suntanning; a pro shop; a day care; post-rehab training and all of the ICBC and WCB rehab training. Mia and her partner had a team of 12 staff and trainers to help them manage 1000 clients and 8000 square feet of innovation. She sold the facility in 2006 to pursue other dreams and passions.
