“Being a part of the Aum Nation has been an awesome and valuable addition to my marketing tactics. When I share something on social media, I see the Aum Nation following right behind me, sharing to their own community and pumping me up every chance they get.  The Aum Nation is tracking everything I do, and is proactive in adding my books, new endeavors, and new skills to my online profile, even when I'm moving too fast to remember myself.  I am consistently asked for feedback and input.  I feel taken care of with the Aum Nation.  They are kind of like a Spiritual Concierge.  It's awesome! You cannot beat the value for the price.”

“The Aum Nation is such a wonderful resource for connecting with a wide variety of holistic-minded businesses, people, products and inspirations. With the steady rise in the interest in alternative spirituality and healing, The Aum Nation has found a wonderful way to be of service.” 

"The Aum Nation is a beautiful collection of colleagues who encourage and support one another. I love how Kim creates an atmosphere of fun friendship whenever we gather. We learn and laugh together all the time! Elevation is an incredible way to grow a business!"

"AUM nation with Kim’s leadership and nurturing spirit has been a phenomenal personal growth resource and an incredible bright spot as I’ve launched my first wellness-oriented business.” 

“We love The Aum Nation!  Kim goes out of her way to be super supportive and has come up with fun and interesting ways to collaborate with like minded people and businesses.  She has done a great job creating this amazing community of Aumies!”

"I host retreats & The Aum Nation is a really great resource for me. When I was looking for a henna artist to adorn my retreaters, a quick search of the members took me to just the right artist. Also, when I'm putting together goodie bags for my attendees, many of TAN members are willing to donate swag & that works both  ways: they're able to get their name out & I'm able to provide fun treats for my people. The Aum Nation is a great community that works on many levels & I love how we're all able to support each other!”

“Since joining Aum nation a few months ago, I’ve met some great women at the Aum events (my favorite so far was getting a vegetarian lunch and tour at the cool Xiang Yun Temple in Austin). One of the best resources so far has been Kim herself. She always goes above and beyond to support me and my business, whether offering ad opportunities at local events (and designing the ad herself at no charge!) or posting my upcoming retreats and workshops on the Aum pages. It is clear she is passionate about what she is doing and has a heart that is inclined towards service and seeing others succeed. That spirit infiltrates everyone else in the group. It’s such a refreshing attitude and a joy to mingle with her and my fellow Aumies!”

I am a proud happy Aumie! Being part of the Aum Nation opened the door to meet well respected professionals in the wellness industry in Austin and around the world. I was impressed by the high caliber of its members and how much they want to support each other.  Just after 3 months of starting my membership, my brand presence increased with their support; was invited to participate of a 2 day book launch of another member where I had access to 30 new leads; had my first table at the Aum Convention resulting in 40 new leads and clients.  Above all, I was blessed with the business and personal guidance of our Founder, Kim Balstad, to get clear on how to approach a new market. And the cherry to my life, I gain 3 new best friends, also powerful Aumies!  I really do not know what you are waiting for, be part our our Aum Nation!

I hate networking. I have been known to go out of my way to avoid associations, networking meetings, or meet & greets. But AUM Nation is different. This introvert actually looks forward to events with this group, because everyone in it is authentic, kind, and truly supportive of each other. They come together with the attitude of "what can I offer?" rather than "what can I get from you?" Being in the presence of people who are doing what they truly love is refreshing and encouraging. On top of this, Kim works tirelessly to do all the promoting and organizing stuff that she is so good at doing, saving me time and energy. I have been a member since 2015, and since then I have gained more clients and friends than I expected, all while being in alignment with my own style and what is important to me.
