Barry-Jansson & Associates proudly presents AffirmingSpirit, a site devoted to helping you learn about the power of affirmations and help you realize your dreams as you grow in consciousness. We offer personalized mentoring services and a product line which includes Affirming Spirit Affirmation Cards, beautiful, double-sided cards you customize with your own powerful personalized affirmations.

Nancy Barry-Jansson, Bay Area fine artist/illustrator, presentation designer, and owner of Barry-Jansson & Associates, is the driving force behind AffirmingSpirit.com.

"I've been using affirmations successfully for more than 24 years. Writing them in my journal kept them out of sight, and out of mind. But, I quickly got bored writing the affirmations on index cards." explains Barry-Jansson. "Being an artist, I felt compelled to create my own beautiful cards for my affirmations. The cards were so beautiful I was happy to keep them around and it made the entire experience more joyful!

One night, I woke up suddenly at 3:00am with a knowing that I needed to create these cards for the rest of the world to enjoy. That's when the idea for beautiful double-sided cards—AffirmingSpirit cards—was born. It took nearly 4 years to find the right way to bring these cards to you, so it is my heartfelt intent that you find them to be both beautiful and inspiring to your daily practice!"

AffirmingSpirit Starter Packs and Refills debuted in the fall of 2003, and were immediately a hit with people who understood the power of affirmations.

Still, there were many more people who had either never heard of affirmations, or who were using them ineffectively so they gave up after not seeing results.

That's when Barry-Jansson realized the need for personalized well-being coaching, helping each person to address their personal desires and their blocks, so they could effectively create and use their own affirmations. The results thus far have been stunning! Every single person who has gone through personal well-being coaching has had major breakthroughs, and credit coaching with making the difference in their success.
