Today we’d like to introduce you to Angela Omezie.
Hi Angela, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I was a teen mom who wanted something different for my children. I started working in social services at the age of 20 and knew helping others was something I was meant to do. I spent many years working on social services before going to school to obtain my degree to become a counselor.
I believe in the saying “wellness begats wellness”. I have a passion for people and believe in the innate power of people. I have spent over 20 years helping people create and manifest their goals and intentions. I prides myself on being able to empower others through a holistic approach that focuses on their inner strengths and decreasing the power of any weaknesses they believe they have.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I think risk taking is a necessary process to achieve goals. Quitting my corporate job and starting my own practice was definitely a huge risk, but I believe in betting on yourself will always lead to a positive outcome.
