IAM1443 - Coach Helps Individuals Identify their Natural Numbers
Susan Bennett Fisher and Martin Fisher are the Co-Founders and Teachers of Body of 9. Body of 9 is an innovative, body-based personality assessment that, through your posture, body type, and how you physically express yourself, identifies your Natural Number. This gives you an experience of your innate self, taking your understanding of who you are to a whole new level.
Numbers tell the truth. Each of us has our own Natural Number, from 1 to 9, which is the key to who we are, and how we think, react, act, and interact. The Body of 9 system reveals those innate differences and helps us learn to resolve them, bringing us closer together. Once you know that Natural Number (and those of the people around you), you’ll discover how to have more awareness of yourself, your relationships, your life, and how you communicate to bridge deeper and more meaningful connections.
Susan Bennett Fisher and Martin Fisher are pioneers in the study and research of the 9 Natural Numbers. With over thirty years of combined research and experience with Body of 9, their work has led to many new discoveries and a deeper understanding of the importance, power, and impact of knowing your Natural Number and learning to consciously use this aspect of your body. Since 2012, Susan and Martin Fisher have been working together to identify over 8000 people from around the world and to build and share the understanding of how the Body of 9 shows up in so many aspects of human experience.

IAM1405 - CEO Runs Beauty Bar that Caters Lash Extensions
A mother 365 days out the year and an entrepreneur 24/7. What started out as a dream eventually turned into reality after consistent hard work to build her own business. Like most, She started out with no direction on how to get started. Multitasking her everyday IT job, providing for her son, and finding time to create takes more than saying you want it to work. She had to endure failure during the process, She had to learn patience and had to stay consistent with a focused mindset. It’s easier said than done.
She did my research on the industry she wanted to be a part of which was the beauty world. And she will continue to learn more and expand as she grows.
