Welcome to the heartbeat of Integrative Counsel, our blog where tranquility meets transformation. This is your sanctuary for insights and wisdom on nurturing a harmonious connection between mind, body, and spirit.
The divine feminine is the grand ideal of femininity. The concept of the divine feminine can be difficult to wrap your head around, and the prospect of embodying such a thing can seem overwhelming or out of reach. After all, nobody here in the material plane has a perfect understanding of the divine. What we do know about the divine feminine is that it is who we are when we remain still enough to receive, it is who we are when we embody our softness, and it is who we are when we are intuitive and empowered. Letting your inner light shine can be tricky because we all have healing to do, and so we must be patient and compassionate with ourselves. That’s why we’re here to help you on this journey.
Channeling your own divine femininity is different for everyone. Different people require different paths, and what speaks to one might alienate another. To cover something as diverse as the divine feminine, we must take a diverse approach. So, the Integrative Counsel team decided to put together seven different modules, each tailor-made for different aspects of divine femininity and womanhood. No matter where you fall across the spectrum of race, religion, gender expression, sexuality, or age, this course has something for you.
The scientific literature states (retrospective study) that after three months of not conceiving, those that identify as women begin to have black & white thinking assuming they are the reason they are not falling pregnant and spring into overdoing (charting, researching, doctoring, changing lifestyle habits for the couple) to try and conceive, sometimes at a price to their self worth and their relationship. In this course, Hillary targets the mental and spiritual aspects of a woman’s journey as it relates to fertility, conception, and feminine cycles. Afterwards, women feel spiritually and emotionally well and balanced. They will have a healthier relationship with themselves and others and be able to move beyond black and white thinking.
What’s the focus of this course? Working through the emotional and spiritual aspects of a woman’s journey to conception.
Who’s this course for? Women who are trying for a baby, people who struggle with their hormonal cycle, and those who feel insecure because of their fertility.

In order to become the women we want to be, there are parts of ourselves that must die to make room for what we are going to birth. Prior to the state of expansion we are all working towards, there is often a period of sadness and loss. This offering focuses on death and grief of the different parts of us ourselves that must die for us as women to be able to step into our whole Self, where our power resides. From this place of tenderness that grief often opens is the fertile ground where we can begin to identify our true essence – our authentic expression.
