Your Pathway to
Indigenous Employee Empowerment
Our Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program (IEEP) helps organizations & First Nations Communities cultivate workplaces where Indigenous employees not only thrive - but stay and grow. By focusing on internal capacity building, we equip leaders and teams with the tools, frameworks, and practices needed to foster confidence, self-worth, and resilience among Indigenous employees. This approach strengthens morale, engagement, and long-term retention, while positioning your organization as a leader in Indigenous success, equity, and allyship.
Our Indigenous Employee Empowerment services, led by Rachael Hunt, Intuitive Indigenous Mentor & Healer and member of Chippewas of Nawash First Nations, offers transformative support for corporate spaces & First Nations communities through the use of advanced tools such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Hypnosis, Ancestral Healing, Somatic Therapy and Success Coaching.
We believe that success is cultivated from the inside out.
Our Approach to Indigenous Empowerment
This program is designed to dismantle the common barriers faced by Indigenous employees in the workplace, including, but not limited to, imposter syndrome, unworthiness, self-doubt, tokenism, fear of failure or judgement, and lack mentality that operate at the subconscious and somatic level.
By addressing and acknowledging these deep-rooted challenges, we empower Indigenous individuals to not only overcome their internal resistance but to excel beyond their expectations.
How do we do this?
We facilitate transformative group experiences rooted in subconscious (mind) and somatic (body) reprogramming, empowering your employees to collectively process barriers that may be impacting their professional and personal lives. Through our extensive toolkit of evidence-based healing modalities, we create a supportive environment where employees can:
+ feel confident in their ability to perform & excel in their role
+ feel worthy of growing within the company
+ feel valued enough to contribute to their team meetings
+ feel safe to be expressed in their authentic self
+ feel a sense of belonging and purpose
+ feel happy & appreciated at work, increasing satisfaction & loyalty
+ enhance interpersonal relationships
+ improve conflict resolution & healthy communication
This caliber of work creates a ripple effect, improving their overall well-being and fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace environment.
We prioritize creating a safe, respectful and compassionate space to expand into personal power. We ensure that each individual feels seen, heard, validated, understood, and cared for.
We combine science-backed techniques with traditional Indigenous wisdom rooted in the Sacred Teachings, creating a holistic approach to transformation.
** Please note, this is not a replacement for but rather complementary to traditional therapy modalities, grief counselling, Elder support, and cultural practices. This is designed to enhance & advance any and all existing Truth & Reconciliation initiatives.
In 2024, Indigenous Peoples made up just 0.5% of all senior management positions in Canada; this statistic is a call for change. Indigenous representation in leadership is the way forward, the IEEP is the pathway.

The Freedom Method
rooted in neuroscience, quantum physics principles and scientifically-proven rewiring techniques, learn the power of our signature method below
01
🧡 95% of our brain’s activity is subconscious (conscious is 5%), meaning that the majority of our decisions and behaviours are determined beyond our conscious awareness, so this is where real change begins
02
🧡 most of our subconscious programs are determined before the age of 7 through our parents, relatives, teachers, media, and society at large, and in many cases are imprinted through blood memory from past generations & ancestral wounds & traumas
03
🧡 our subconscious mind is home to our beliefs, values, emotions, memory, identity and potential, making it a powerful tool to reach higher achievements that impact our behaviours, thus results (both of which are home to the are conscious mind)
05
🧡 a regulated nervous system is what allows people to feel safe, grounded, and able to engage fully at work. When safety is prioritized, team members can think clearly, communicate effectively, and collaborate without unnecessary tension.
04
🧡 the conscious mind is the goal setter, the subconscious mind is the goal getter and most people simply focus on altering their conscious mind (external results & behaviours) explaining why desired results aren't achieved - lasting change happens subconsciously
06
🧡 our nervous system is wired for connection. When leaders and teams practice co-regulation - through presence, listening, validation, and acknowledgement - it creates an empowered, high-performing environment. A leader who stays calm can shift a group from stress into safety.
