Jamie Dooley is an international award-winning coach and healer, who teaches manifestation through heart activation. She is the co-creator of The Expansion Method, one of the lead instructors of Expansion Coach Training, and the founder of The Expansion Group. She and her sister Lisa Freitag, have dedicated their lives to building a community of heart-based coaches who will assist them in impacting the growth and expansion of women worldwide.


We sat down with Jamie Dooley, founder of The Expansion Group for Women, and co-creator of The Expansion Method and Expansion Coach Training, to find out what the color green has to do with business success.

“Jamie, you’ve built your entire business model on expansion. Can you tell us more about it?”


I’d love to! For me, the definition of expansion is “growing beyond former limitations or boundaries.” After coaching hundreds of women desiring change and growth, I realized that the main source of their pain was the subconscious resistance to expanding into the next version of themselves, which is a Stone Age program meant to keep us safe and comfortable. In a state of resistance, nothing new can flow in. It’s like having the “no vacancy” sign on the door to your soul. You cannot be in a state of expansion and contraction at the same time. You are either giving or receiving. You are either open or closed. They are at different frequencies, like different channels on a radio.


Expansion is supposed to be a natural, easy, fun part of life. All you have to do is allow it, which is very feminine. Most female entrepreneurs have dominant masculine energy; they are addicted to doing much more work than is actually necessary. Oppositely, women dreaming of starting a business usually have dominant feminine energy. They can get lost sitting, thinking, and feeling versus doing. The key to allowing expansion naturally is to balance the masculine/ feminine energies within. We have to explore the opposite of how we are programmed to find our perfect harmony.


“How did you learn this?”


My sister Lisa Freitag (also a master healer and the other head coach at The Expansion Group) and I have been coaching each other for the past decade. I was a doer; she was a dreamer. We are programmed opposite and noticed the more she moved, and the more I sat still, the greater our ability to grow and embody the next level of ourselves. As our egos took a back seat, we combined our methods and created a private coaching program that got our clients' MASSIVE TRANSFORMATION faster than either of us was getting when we coached solo.


Lisa works with the subconscious brain, and I work with the heart. She helps women identify which parts of them are keeping them stuck. Once those parts get integrated back into the whole, I help them open their hearts FULLY, then guide them to meet with their higher self. You have to be a super high vibe to access her. She already knows exactly what you want and what action you need to take to get it. Intuition just gets muddied over the years with the emotional pain caused by being triggered. It causes automatic, subconscious tension in the body, which puts you into a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode.


By alternating inner and outer work for each call, we found we didn’t need to dig up the past or spend months talking. It became easier for clients to focus on where they were going instead of where they had been. They felt stable enough to let go and move forward. Upon completing the program, when we reviewed where they were when they began our program, they often said, “I forgot about that.” The old them was a skin they shed, and they never looked back.


“What kind of results were you seeing?”


Clients were saving marriages, finding dream homes, moving across the country, getting promoted (without experience or even applying sometimes), quitting day jobs, starting businesses, and receiving unexpected money in as little as three sessions! These are women who felt completely stuck, confused, minimized, and blocked when they found us. They conquered self-sabotage that had affected them for decades in weeks and moved forward as the conscious creators of their lives they had always been. They just needed a guide.


At the core of our program was a heart activation that I did every time I worked with them. I would guide them to a “10” on a scale of 1-10, and if I moved them forward in the guided visualization at a 9 or lower, they would return to old patterns that week. It turned out that just like you cannot be a little pregnant, your heart cannot be a little open. With guidance, they were able to open their hearts FULLY for the first time in decades, or in some cases, since they were young children. They used words like euphoric, blissful, and whole. The changes happened in their bodies, not their minds.


“Why do you think this worked?”


When we are young, we all experience trauma. It causes our autonomic nervous system to create a protection mechanism of closing the energy center at the heart level. Subconsciously, it will close for the rest of our lives due to any stress response-small or large. That energy center’s vibratory color is green. When I visualize their heart as pure green energy that swells and extends outside of them, it’s like a software upgrade to their entire field. Resistance melts. They cry, let go, and surrender. A new program gets installed, and dreams begin to flow because their field is fully open to receiving.


Nothing allows abundance like a heart WIDE OPEN. No doing required! Ideas, opportunities, and people just show up, making the manifestation process seem more like magic than work. It’s the most fun alchemy there is!


Why create a method for opening the heart?


We tried our best to coach each other through the process similarly, and we started identifying the steps and turning them into a method for our own use. Lisa and I wanted the results we were seeing in our clients!


The heart-opening was powerful, but the old programs ran so deep in the subconscious that even when we tried to stay open-hearted during stress, we felt all the tension or resistance flood back into our bodies.


To make it easy to remember during a trigger, we created an acronym that helps you coach yourself through the strategies. We kept it simple to help people begin to use it and implement it the very 1st week. Each strategy builds on the last. It gets you in that balanced, harmonious state of flow fast.


And now you are going to start training coaches, correct?


Yes! It’s been a big dream of ours for a while now to share all we’ve learned. We can have a much bigger impact teaching our framework in a group setting than allowing our students to bring these methods to their own communities. We want to help millions of women embody their higher selves.


And since we love the fact that we have a coach for life that we never have to pay (in each other), Expansion Coaches will have a “Sister Coach” community of women trained in this powerful method and style they can barter with for life.


“Sounds amazing! Where do they learn more?”
