Our proprietary framework, The Heartsong Chakra Framework™, has helped many entrepreneurs like you understand the business and legal aspects they need to help protect and build the business of their dreams. The Heartsong Chakra Framework™ is similar to a person's chakra system, but as it is applied to a business. It incorporates things such as business entity foundations, trademarks, copyrights, contracts, and other pertinent aspects of a business.
Intuitive, Insightful, Empowering You
It’s not JUST about your contracts and trademarks here. We believe that you and your business are interconnected, and the “legal stuff” can actually reflect our deeper truths. We look at things such as your Human Design profile, your learning style, and long term vision for your business in order for us to build a legal and business strategy for you and your business to follow. We give you tools to help you grow as an entrepreneur and a person, not just the legal stuff.
Intellectual Property Management
There are so many aspects of building a brand, and we help you build it and protect it! We are passionate about helping you create and use your brand assets like trademarks, servicemarks, and trade dress that work together to help you stand out in the world. We're artists ourselves, so we get that building goodwill and recognition for your brand is important.
We work with you to determine what IP assets your business has, how to develop them, and whether or not particular marks should be registered federally or in your state. We counsel you on keeping your trade secrets confidential with contracts, negotiating and drafting license agreements, and devising a strategy as your business grows.

Intellectual property includes a wide range of creative and innovative assets. It covers copyrights for artistic and literary works, patents for inventions and processes, trademarks for brand identity, trade secrets for confidential business information, and more. Essentially, IP protects your intangible creations and assets.
Copyrights protect original works of creative expressions like music, paintings, photographs, and books. Trademarks are logos, names, phrases or other things that identify the source of goods or services.
A common law trademark is a symbol, slogan, word(s) or name that is used in commerce to indicate the source of goods. These are unregistered marks that become trademarks out of use in a geographic area.
Servicemarks are words, symbols, and slogans that are used to indicate the source of services provided.
Enforcing your IP rights typically involves legal action. Start by gathering evidence of the infringement, such as copies of the infringing work, dates, and communication records. You may pursue cease-and-desist letters, negotiations, or litigation if necessary to protect your rights and seek remedies.
