We've gotten a few questions recently about how we work with clients - and we break it down in the latest episode of the SHOEMAKER LAB.

Mainly, we have two ways we go to market - single project videos and a monthly retainer. It all depends on the goals of each unique client and the deliverables we are producing for our clients. Whether it's a single piece of video content, like an advertisement, brand story, event highlight film; or if it's an ongoing engagement where we are providing regular content like Reels/Shorts or a Podcast, we can meet all of your video marketing needs.

Everything surrounding us is made of energy including our thoughts and emotions. Starting at a young age, we experience life events, traumas and situations/people that cause us stress. This leads us to feel heavy, low vibrational emotions such as anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, etc. Overtime, they become stuck in our body and may eventually manifest into physical pain.

In this episode of the Shoemaker Lab, we meet Katie, owner of Energy Healing With Katie, located in St. Alban's Circle in Newtown Square. She shares what it's like to experience the emotional, physical, and mental recharging of a Reiki session, as well as her spiritual life coaching services.
