Want to rise above the grip of your past, resolve negative emotions, and feel more calm and stable in your life on an ongoing basis?
Want to be armed and equipped with the right mindset and skillset to change your life moving forward without years of painful talk therapy or medications with adverse side effects?
Want to restore a sense of enjoyment, peace, contentment, inspiration & connection so you feel empowered to live your best life?
If you're new to me... hey there! My name is Darla Meulemans (mel-mens), and I help people create a roadmap to living life with more ease and enjoyment. I've spent 25+ years working with clients from all walks of life, and have found the keys to unlocking consistent, reliable, stable and sustainable mental & emotional wellbeing. My background in mental health, addiction behavior medicine and neuroscience have allowed me to help people bridge the gap between their intentions and what actually shows up in their lives. I’ve tested just about everything on the market for helping clients calm down & feel better -- and truth is, some things work and others don't. I've taken the best of the best, with strategies and remedies that are proven effective, and put them all together to save you time and wasted money on things that don't work. What I’ve discovered is that once my clients have the basic ingredients nailed down, they are well on their way to building the happy, stress free lives they've always wanted.
Have you ever felt like your brain has a mind of its own - like no matter what goals you set and how well-intended you are, you still get stuck in a loop and never get to where you want to go?
If so, listen up because I've got a solution for you that I guarantee will change your life for the better.
I know you've heard that a million times over but nothing changes on the outside if nothing changes on the inside. You have to actually shift the way your brain is wired so it fires differently.
That's why my approach combines the latest evidence-based practices in neuroscience, with natural remedies that are grounded in timeless wisdom and have been around for centuries. This translates to results that last because your underlying neurophysiology will be different.
My method combines psychology, sociology, nutrition, spirituality AND neuroscience so that positive transformation begins to unfold rapidly. The Resilience Reset gets at the invisible subconscious patterns which have taken you off course time and again and kept you from being successful.
The components of the program make it so change isn’t just a good idea that lives on the surface & gets put on the back burner when you get distracted by life. The lessons, exercises, practices, coaching, and accountability make sure lasting change and emotional balance get locked in.
While that all sounds magical (which it is!), let me tell you what's most important. You will learn techniques, mindset hacks, and strategies that are easy to apply and consistently reliable, sticking with you until the end of time.
Here's my backstory - when the world came to a screeching halt in 2020, I knew I needed to act fast to help people develop tools to navigate the times and reduce the stress they were experiencing from the events at hand.
I couldn't safely work with clients 1:1 in my office for a while, but I needed a way to continue to support them and also meet the increasing demand for effective mental / emotional health care across the country.
That was the impetus for launching Awakening Whole Brain Wisdom Online Programs. My mission was to pull together all the gems and key transformational elements from all my years of training and put them in one place. I've combined the essential change ingredients from my own personal and professional journey, with the lessons gleaned from mentors, key leaders, and renowned experts in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, attachment, trauma, addiction, nutrition, energy medicine, and shamanic healing.
This program offers something unique, powerful & pivotal that goes beyond what's available with traditional talk therapy, stress reduction strategies, and pharmacological interventions.
Through this program, my clients are able to break free from the grips of trauma, adversity, and chronic stress and use their new tools to propel them in the positive opposite direction.
Why has this been such a success?
Because it's easy, it's rewarding, it's accessible, it's affordable, and it's fun.
I've nailed down exactly what it takes to get you out of the stress loop, and on a path to building the right mindset and skillset, you need to move ahead and have, create or be exactly what you've always wanted.
Need a reset without an expensive vacation?
Want to build a roadmap to stable and sustainable mental/emotional wellbeing?
Want to actually enjoy your life & feel fulfilled?
Well then, I'm ready to share some of the most important tips to get you on your way.
Or you could continue to suffer... Wait? What?! (record scratch) I didn't think so...
It doesn’t matter how much therapy you've done, how many self-help books you've read or how many personal development podcasts you subscribe to. At the end of the day, or in a pinch when the rubber hits the road and you're freaking out, you need to know how to hit the switch, interrupt the pattern, and get back in the game.
You need the right mindset, a set of skills, and some effective "reset remedies" that actually change the way your brain works, in order to create lasting change.
Clients in The Resilience Reset get the same profound transformations and outcomes as those needing to come to the office 2-3 times/ week for 6 months to a year to get hooked up to the brain machine.
The thing my office clients don’t get that you'll find in The Resilience Reset, is the confidence, personal empowerment, self-trust, accountability, and support that comes with being a member of the program. Plus, you'll be armed with the knowledge, mindset and skillset to independently regulate your thoughts, energy, moods, and emotions moving forward.
So let’s do this.
