We are Ariane and Beatriz, and together, we are BliXX.   BliXX is more than just a brand—it's a community dedicated to personal growth through conscious sexuality, with a special focus on conscious kink. Founded in 2018, BliXX was born from our shared vision of creating sex-positive spaces that welcome not only the "light," "soft," and "tender" but also the "dark" and "forbidden." These elements are explored within a ritualistic, safer, and conscious container.   Why did we create BliXX? Because in these spaces, things get real. Concepts like conscious power exchanges, consent, boundaries, desires, managing rejection, and establishing vulnerable connections move beyond theoretical workshop ideas and become lived experiences. These situations challenge us to integrate and embody our personal growth.   We believe that true personal development cannot ignore sexuality. The body must be engaged in any successful therapeutic process, which is why our work focuses on personal growth using kink as a transformative vehicle. Conscious kink impacts not only what happens in the bedroom but also in the boardroom and beyond.   Since our inception, BliXX has touched the lives of over 2,500 individuals through our experiences and retreats across the globe. Over the years, our commitment to helping people transform shame and domestication into wilderness, freedom, authenticity, love, and power has only strengthened. The depth and impact of the spaces we create have grown exponentially.   At BliXX, we are focused on deep, transformational work. To support this, we now offer extended opportunities to work with us, including one-on-one online coaching packages and week-long retreats for individuals and couples.

Erin-Marie Kernan is a ANCC Board Certified Nurse Practitioner who received her degree from Dominican College. Ms. Kernan provides clinical care from an organic place of self, tailored to the patient’s individual personal history. Her belief is that the human condition is multifaceted, and answers are hardly ever straightforward. Her patients have trust in her intuitive assessments and feel comfortable in revealing the facts about their deepest feelings. She conducts her assessments based on the latest prevailing information and formulates an efficacious plan utilizing a holistic and medical approach. She began her career as an intake specialist at Planned Parenthood while attending nursing school. It was during this time she was convinced she would specialize in women’s healthcare. Once she became an RN she was offered a position in case management. At this time Ms. Kernan was a single mother working both as a case manager and night shift nurse. She understood the pace of her life was unsustainable, therefore she returned to school to become a nurse practitioner. At this point, she was developing and managing a telehealth clinic for a non-for-profit organization. The exposure to various areas in healthcare had left Ms. Kernan perplexed, “It was like I had all the puzzle pieces, but I still couldn’t see the image.” During her master’s program she had completed clinical internships in HIV/AIDS, adult and adolescent medicine, and women’s health. She was offered a position as a clinician in the women’s health clinic; however she was also offered a position with an epilepsy organization. The epilepsy group had a significant interest in Ms. Kernan as she had a wide range of expertise within the business of healthcare. Ms. Kernan was reserved with making this decision, but after meeting with the provider she would be collaborating with and being offered a salary that would be life changing for her and her children, she took the position. She worked side by side with one of the top epileptologist in the area. He trained her in reading VEEG’s, medication management of various seizure conditions and best approaches to managing psychogenetic non-epileptic seizures. It was then that all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Once COVID hit, life took a deep dive into what felt like an apocalyptic war field. She was at the forefront of the pandemic having to be the clinician to report brain death due to fever of unknown cause. Collogues had become patients, and she herself had endured the long COVID ailments. However, she had to continue working, she had three children, and her partner at the time had lost his job. Six months into the pandemic, her position was cut due to insurance politics. This was when she enrolled in her doctorates with a focus on psychiatry. She also took on a short-term contract as the Director of Health services for a private university who needed a well experienced COVID guide to re-open their campus. Her plate was full, but her spirit kept her afloat. Her students were suffering with mental health crisis day in and day out. She saw the burnout in her nurses’ eyes, and it became clear our hearts had become hardened as a result of this virus. MS. Kernan completed her contract and re-directed all her focus strictly on mental health. The puzzle was completed, the image she saw was disturbing. All areas of healthcare Ms. Kernan worked in had the same construct, an algorithmic, evidence-based program that kept all beings in line with only logic. The body had become torn into sectors of monetary gains, with very little room for the full story of the individual. A necessary need to optimize the most efficacious approach towards repairing a medical condition, but perhaps there is a chance we could do better. It was the case manager within her, that piece of the puzzle, that gave her the idea to integrate a whole mind-body approach towards well-being. Not a new concept, just one that aligned with her mission. Ms. Kernan spends her time running her own practice and contracting with the virtual clinic Joyous. As a single mother to three tenacious children, she has developed methods to manage life’s suffering and is endlessly embracing new knowledge. She grounds herself by running in the woods and meditating. Most of all Ms. Kernan adores spending time with her children and family. “My dream was always to be a mother and have a big family, but also to be of service.” Erin-Marie Kernan Executive Contributor Nurse Practitioner Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.

Ms. Kernan was reserved with making this decision, but after meeting with the provider she would be collaborating with and being offered a salary that would be life changing for her and her children, she took the position. She worked side by side with one of the top epileptologist in the area. He trained her in reading VEEG’s, medication management of various seizure conditions and best approaches to managing psychogenetic non-epileptic seizures. It was then that all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Once COVID hit, life took a deep dive into what felt like an apocalyptic war field. She was at the forefront of the pandemic having to be the clinician to report brain death due to fever of unknown cause. Collogues had become patients, and she herself had endured the long COVID ailments. However, she had to continue working, she had three children, and her partner at the time had lost his job. Six months into the pandemic, her position was cut due to insurance politics. This was when she enrolled in her doctorates with a focus on psychiatry. She also took on a short-term contract as the Director of Health services for a private university who needed a well experienced COVID guide to re-open their campus. Her plate was full, but her spirit kept her afloat. Her students were suffering with mental health crisis day in and day out. She saw the burnout in her nurses’ eyes, and it became clear our hearts had become hardened as a result of this virus. MS. Kernan completed her contract and re-directed all her focus strictly on mental health. The puzzle was completed, the image she saw was disturbing. All areas of healthcare Ms. Kernan worked in had the same construct, an algorithmic, evidence-based program that kept all beings in line with only logic. The body had become torn into sectors of monetary gains, with very little room for the full story of the individual. A necessary need to optimize the most efficacious approach towards repairing a medical condition, but perhaps there is a chance we could do better. It was the case manager within her, that piece of the puzzle, that gave her the idea to integrate a whole mind-body approach towards well-being. Not a new concept, just one that aligned with her mission. Ms. Kernan spends her time running her own practice and contracting with the virtual clinic Joyous. As a single mother to three tenacious children, she has developed methods to manage life’s suffering and is endlessly embracing new knowledge. She grounds herself by running in the woods and meditating. Most of all Ms. Kernan adores spending time with her children and family. “My dream was always to be a mother and have a big family, but also to be of service.” All articles LOAD MORE CREA Global Awards presented to Erin-Marie Kernan Nurse Practitioner The CREA Global Awards is proudly presented to the honoree by the Brainz Magazine Selection Committee, in recognition for their creative and innovative ideas, adaptability in business, or for their contributions to sustainability and mental health projects.

Paula Miles is a psychotherapist and BACP-licensed therapist who works with people facing anxiety, stress, and emotional burnout. Her approach is shaped not only by her training, but also by the years she spent in high-pressure corporate roles, environments where she carried heavy responsibilities and constant expectations. As a result, being the “strong one” became part of her identity. Paula managed people, handled demanding workloads, and, like many high-performing professionals, often felt she had to keep everything together, even when her inner world was beginning to fray. During those years, she noticed a pattern that would later define her therapeutic work: competent, dedicated people carrying more than anyone realised, delivering results on the outside while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside. The culture around her rewarded perfectionism and resilience, but left little room for rest, boundaries, or emotional honesty. Paula eventually reached a point where she could no longer ignore the toll this way of living was taking. What began as personal burnout became a turning point that led her to therapy, self-reflection, and ultimately a new professional path. Retraining as a psychotherapist allowed her to understand, with greater clarity, the emotional weight so many people carry in silence. Over the years, she has supported clients from more than eight countries, helping them make sense of their anxiety, inner pressure, and need to “hold everything together” at all costs. Paula’s humanistic approach sees each person as a whole, with their relationships, work life, emotions, and personal history all deeply interconnected. Her therapeutic space is warm, grounded, and deeply attentive, offering clients the chance to slow down, understand themselves with compassion, and rebuild a life that feels more sustainable and true. Today, Paula’s mission is to offer the kind of support she once needed herself, a space where people can soften, breathe, and finally stop carrying their struggles alone.

He is also the principal strategist at MASTERpoint Strategies, a business consulting firm. MASTERpoint Strategies specializes in leadership development, based on expeditionary theory, and risk management, focusing on the human side of the risk equation. Phil has suffered from a rare form of epilepsy since birth, which cannot be controlled by medication.

Unfortunately, his retirement from his field career also marked an escalation in his epileptic symptoms, which drove him to find other means by which to manage the disorder. Phil is a lifelong cyclist and bike racer, so he leaned into this pursuit as that necessary outlet, eventually competing in the Haute Route Racing Series in Europe, billed as the “highest, hardest, most prestigious amateur bike race in the world.” These experiences led to the genesis of Team ATTAC.
