e59: How to build an alternative healthcare practice. w/Messwork' Cri Gabriele

The Business Behind Creativity is back! This time I have Cri Gabriele Founder of Messwork to delve into how to build a company in the alternative healthcare space.

Cri (pronounced "Cree") deconstructs and reshapes as part of her creative process, seeking to arrive at synthesis while making (and embracing) a lot of mess. Messwork facilitates a multidisciplinary yet holistic approach to trauma recovery and abundant living. With her Bachelor of Psychology and Business from Northeastern University, a Master of Fine Arts in Communications Design from Pratt Institute, Cri integrates complex skill sets into a full-bodied foundation upon which to reinforce her work and practice. As a creator, practitioner, and educator, Cri's psychological and design expertise fuels her methodological and theoretical frameworks and approaches, exploring the inherent nature and connection across somatics, psychology, design, and mess. Currently teaching Graduate and Undergraduate Communications Design at Pratt Institute, Cri expands her name-sake practice, Cg Studio, into Messwork, an offering employing and leveraging somatics, design, and the transformative power of mess as a catalyst for growth.

In her own Messwork, Cri navigated various academic and personal therapeutic territories before finding somatics. A health crisis in her late twenties catapulted her inquiry into more robust healing modalities, punctuating the significance and impact of being treated as a whole rather than a series of fragments. As a result of her own experience, Cri recognises the acute urgency and need to create more vigorous, holistic practices toward growth and healing, an offering she now extends to her clients, meeting them in their fullness, complexity, and humanity. 🔹 Find out more about Messwork here 🔹 Book a 30-minute complimentary consultation session (online) or a 50-80 minute personal transformation session (online or in-person) with Cri here
