Chinese Five Elements, also known as Wuxing, is an ancient Chinese philosophy used to describe natural cycles and interactions, cosmic happenings, diagnose illnesses and many other phenomena. Similar philosophies exist across other cultures throughout the ages: Greek Stoicheion, Hindu Tattva, Tibetan Bön and Medieval Alchemy, to name a few. Many of these philosophies are still practiced today, often in medicine and esoteric pursuits. While few and far between, there are a handful of innovators who have recognized the potency of applying these ancient techniques in more modern contexts, such as technology, business and leadership.
Integrated Impact is one such pioneer; we implement these ancient techniques in all of our consulting work. Through this method we are able to problem solve systemically, taking an emergent, process oriented approach that allows us to create holistic support systems for our clients in a way few others can. This means we view and approach problems as un-isolated and from many angles, and create appropriate, multipronged solutions.
Whether helping a startup identify and demolish roadblocks to growth; assisting a large corporation pivot to conquer emerging problems; or supporting a company to streamline their systems, we are confident that our approach identifies systemic issues and creates lasting, impactful solutions.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is found across many traditions, old and new, often in the form of a meditation or awareness practice. Traditionally, Mindfulness has been used to calm the mind, create awareness of the body and aid in spiritual awakening.
Almost every spiritual practice has some form of Mindfulness, and recently Mindfulness has been growing in popularity amongst business leaders, coaches and psychologists.
Mindfulness practices have recently been the subject of extensive study, with results showing that engaging in Mindfulness leads to increased happiness, reduced stress across the board and increased productivity.
With the newfound scientific validation, Mindfulness is quickly becoming highly sought after by individuals, leaders and businesses.
At Integrated Impact Mindfulness plays a key role in everything we do; from our internal company practices to every aspect of our work with you, we make an effort to take a mindful approach with everything we touch.
ASTROLOGY
Astrology is an ancient art that has been practiced and refined for thousands of years. It examines the celestial movements of planets and stars, creating insight to our everyday lives and interactions.
Astrology has been used in many instances, both professional and personal. While most people are familiar with astrology being used to gain insight into a person's personality at birth, it is also commonly used to determine ideal timing for life events and potential happenings to be aware of.
Did you know that several US presidents, most famous being Ronald Reagan, used astrology to determine ideal timing for major decisions?
At Integrated Impact we use Astrology and other divination such as I-Ching, Human Design and Gene Keys.
We use these tools to gain insight into how a business operates, along with influences and specific timing to be aware of.
These influences are helpful to know when making major decisions such as a growth strategy, acquisition or pivot, and help us determine the best support and course of action.
