Your company has outgrown the way you lead it.
The revenue is real, the team is growing and people rely on you. And you can feel it: the next stage of the business is asking for a different version of you.
That's the threshold. The space between the founder you've been and the leader you're becoming. Most founders try to cross it with strategy alone, then wonder why they stall, burn out or quietly hold the company back.
The Threshold is 12 months of private, senior advisory where we build the business and expand the self that holds it, together.
What we work on
The business you're building next
Offer architecture, pricing, team and the systems that let you step back. Drawn from building The Centre for Healing to more than 100,000 students.
The founder you're becoming
We work with the fears, patterns and old identities that rise up every time you uplevel, using somatic and root-cause work right inside our sessions.
A nervous system that can hold more
More money, more visibility, more responsibility. Without the burnout, the self-sabotage or the urge to shrink back.
How it works
- An opening intensive to map your vision, your next business model and what's ready to be released.
- Monthly 1:1 sessions of 90 minutes, strategy and inner work in the same room.
- Private messaging access on weekdays, for the decisions that can't wait a month.
- A mid-year reset to review, recalibrate and set the next six months.
- My playbooks and introductions, including the templates and trusted advisers behind my own business.
Five places a year. Investment from $120,000 AUD.
This is for you if
- You're the founder or director of an established, founder-led company, typically $1M to $20M in revenue.
- You want a business that runs without you in every room, or one you could one day sell.
- You're carrying more pressure, visibility and responsibility than your system was built for.
- You know the next level needs inner work as well as strategy, and you want a partner who will tell you the truth.
Especially suited to founders of wellness, health, education and other people-centred businesses.
Your guide across the threshold
I'm Melissa Hiemann, co-founder and director of The Centre for Healing. I've been building businesses since 2014. In 2016 my co-founder and I started The Centre for Healing with no investors and bootstrapped it from a single Melbourne clinic into a global, accredited school that more than 100,000 people have learned from.
Along the way I've built and led our team, grown our community, created courses accredited for CPD and with IAOTH, ICAHP and IICT, and turned the company into a real asset. I also hold an Advanced Diploma of Business.
I know the business side because I've built it. I know the inner side because every uplevel asked me to become someone new. In The Threshold, you get both.
