Our work is an expression of our values.
Our Roots & Why
Before this company existed, Mandy had a white collar job and was trying really hard to develop a track record of success so that she could get promoted, be seen as successful, and feel secure. But she was really unwell. She was looking for answers and couldn’t find anyone who was able to provide a path all the way through that would work for her. She began following her internal compass and listening to the guidance she received along the way. This was the first time in her life that she was operating from trust rather than control. The entire reason that she pursued education and opened Palladium Mind is in response to a calling.
In the course of this search for answers, and in this process of listening, she applied her own professional experience and perspective. She learned the right way for her to help more people, more consistently, create deeper results that lasted. She didn’t just find her own style and her own voice, but she began to understand how she was helping people differently.
Mandy’s approach is the result of 18 years leadership experience in complex and high-risk operational environments combined practical experience facilitating change leveraging clients’ inherent capacity for attention, perspective, and inner sight. We define value as creating true autonomy and personal freedom long-term. It was always really important to Mandy to help people create changes to the deeper issues, and show up to meetings prepared to be present to and address whatever was really at cause. This was important because it’s a form of safety. You can learn more about our method here.
Our Evolution
Like all people and businesses do, from the day we first opened our doors, Palladium Mind confronted challenges that would be important for us to overcome in order to deliver our unique value, stabilize service, build trust with others, and not only survive, but thrive. And as is always the case, the challenges that we overcame relate to how we differentiate and tell a story about our unique value proposition. Often times the things that are most natural to us end up being where we have the greatest blind spots; the greatest lesson we learned during our early years in business was how to accept the right support and not accept the wrong. Whether or not you run a business, this might be something you can relate on.
When a business or a person isn’t served in the same way it serves, everything becomes an exertion. Accepting essential support can not only fail to make things better, it can be a critical drain making things worse. This can manifest by hiring the wrong team, contracting with the wrong company, entering misaligned partnerships, and more. Until we learn how to navigate these choices effectively, we will be hindered from our potential. But when we find the right way – our way through – then and only then are we able to see clearly what was in our blind spots and recognize more of our strengths.

Our Core Business
Sometimes our genius is obstructed or our potential held back by something, and these challenges are entry points to transformation and massive growth. This is why Palladium Mind specializes in helping clients address all types of intangible problems to full and permanent resolution in very short timeframes. And no matter what shape or form these accomplishments take, they’re a launchpad to realizing our deeper ambitions, desires, goals, and purpose. We support individuals and corporate teams in realizing their potential and fulfilling their purpose through well-defined engagements that show results in short timeframes.
Our Vision
Although it seems like illness, pain, and suffering will always be a part of our human experience, when you understand how change works and have a firsthand experience of how easy it can be to access on command, you may not be able to help but start to see things differently. In fact, this is the kind of thing that once you see it, you can’t unsee. And this awareness inspires new ideas and helps us see possibilities we couldn’t see before. Palladium Mind strives to be our world’s most reliable partner in deep, permanent transformation because we see the potential of a world where mental illness, physical sickness, and emotional pain become more and more rare until they practically cease to exist. We are interested in conversations and service that helps bring these ends about, and we are proud to others pursuing similar ends. You can learn more about our values here.
