EYES WIDE OPEN LLC was born in 2001 from a simple but radical belief: wellness isn’t something you chase—it’s something you cultivate from the inside out.
For over two decades, we have walked alongside people navigating life’s challenges — buried under stress, amid difficult transitions, finding the strength to leave abusive situations, or searching for their life’s purpose. What they discovered is that wellness encompasses not just the body, but the mind, the heart, relationships, and our connection to community and planet. Staying healthy is an art — one that requires knowledge, patience, and dedication.
Our holistic center in Bonita Springs closed its doors in 2018, but our mission didn’t end. In Naples, I continued offering Reiki classes, healing circles, and counseling to individuals and families. I also found time to write HeartMinded — published first in Spanish (2019), then in English (2020).
After the pandemic
When the pandemic hit, Eyes Wide Open evolved further. We moved online, supporting our community through Zoom sessions, our YouTube channel, and a healing group (chat) offering distant healing (Enkaku) to those who requested it. Distance became irrelevant.
Convinced of the importance of our beginnings, we have created the HeartMinded Parenting trainings as our humble answer to a world in need of empathy, compassion, and connection. The crisis we face — isolation, disconnection from each other and from the planet — stems from how we have been raised. Through compassionate parenting, our brains develop the capacity for empathy. Through healthy early relationships, we learn to care for our bodies, other people, and the Earth.
Policy changes and technology may never be enough to create the quality of life we yearn for — but children raised in loving environments, where the capacity for connection is nurtured and morality grows from care rather than fear, will make helps us evolve toward a more compassionate world.
With our HeartMinded Parenting trainings, we don’t offer techniques. We train counselors to help parents heal their own wounds, so they can raise their children with and for compassionate action. HeartMinded parents nurture the child’s evolution from Homo Sapiens to Homo Amandi — from knowing humans to loving humans.
Inquire about our trainings and our books. The world our children inherit depends on how we raise them today.
