advanced wix website design

This client initially wanted to just add Wix Events but it grew to a site redesign. The business is located in New Mexico and the name of the business means butterfly in Spanish. I did extensive research to find high resolution commercial use photos of butterflies known to live in New Mexico. This counseling center also does psilosybin trauma therapy treatments and trainings, so I searched far and wide to find photos of psilocybin mushrooms that match their clinical environment (rather than a head shop.)


Adding Wix Events required some finesse because they do not take online payments, they host events for both therapy clients and other health practitioners, and these events take place in multiple states.

The deer has economic and spiritual significance in both Choctaw and Scottish cultures. It is the deer that provides sustenance, clothing, and a means of trade.  For the Choctaw, the deer also signifies compassion. And both cultures see the deer as a reminder of cyclical patterns, regeneration, resilience, restoration, healing, growth, and guidance.

​

And though both cultures hold these ideas of the deer, I chose the name Deer Heart specifically because the Choctaw people embody these ideas. They walked the Trail of Tears knowing they would face hardship and death but they had a vision of health, balance, and rejuvenation for the Choctaw people. They show us what is possible when you are resilient through dark times and develop an ability to quickly adapt to change. A mere 4,000 people survived the walk. But the Trail of Tears did not destroy them. It made them more compassionate and giving. And now they are the third largest tribe in the United States, with over 200,000 enrollees located around the world. Their resilience and adaptability, combined with compassion and love of fellow man, allowed the Choctaw Nation to thrive despite the great adversity they faced.

​

I try to follow in my ancestors' footsteps by having my work begin from a place of compassion. My intent is to help small business owners find resiliency and develop strategy that allows them to adapt to change. I want to help members of my community overcome the struggles they face, restore their passion for their work, and develop the tools they need to not just survive dark times, but come out of it stronger.
