A Woman's Way of Awakening
You do not need to become someone else. You simply begin returning to your authentic self, your true nature. That's what we do, together.
Welcome Sister,
AWWA is a living creation, a space for women who are living with greater awareness, authenticity, connection, and aliveness. Many women arrive here during a season of change. Sometimes that change is visible in their work, relationships, health, creativity, or life direction. And sometimes it is simply an undeniable, growing sense of possibility and expansion.Â
My work is rooted in the understanding that awakening is not separate from everyday life.
It lives in the way we care for ourselves, listen to our bodies, navigate relationships, express our creativity, willingness to lead with choices that are aligned with what matters most. It's opening to the mystical of the ordinary.
I offer sacred spaces for slowing down enough to hear yourself again. For reconnecting with your inner wisdom, your voice, your desires, and your deeper, emerging truths.
Through retreats, coaching, circles, ceremonies, and transformational programs, AWWA supports women in creating lives that feel more soul-inspired, more fully their own.
Ways to Work Together
There are several ways to engage (and play) depending on what you’re navigating and the level of support you’re seeking.
Transformational Coaching
Private coaching offers a safe container for your personal path of empowered living. I offer intuitive support and skilled guidance for women navigating growth, transition, relationships, leadership, business, or spiritual evolution.
Integrative and responsive, I meet you where you are while empowering steady, meaningful momentum. I encourage you to explore the gift of receiving ongoing support.Â
Transformational Coaching is offered throughout the year.Â
The Creators Circle for Visionary Women
A nine-month group mastermind and sisterhood for conscious creators bringing meaningful ideas and projects into the world.
I love this sacred and magical space where manifestation, leadership, and authentic expression evolve in a feminine flow, leveraging intuition and inner wisdom. This program weaves professional development with life-changing revelations and gentle accountability for inspired action.
The Creators Circle runs annually from March through November.
Awakening Heart
A deeply nourishing (and yummy) three-month program for single women who feel ready to attract true love through a healthy, intimate relationship. We explore sensual embodiment, self-awareness, emotional honesty, and honest communication practices.
A space for vibrational healing, emotional growth, and connection, so you attract and welcome true love from a foundation of radiance that is grounded and sustainable.
Awakening Heart is offered yearly from December through February.Â
Annual Women's Retreat - Mt. Shasta
Surrounded by nature and supported in sisterhood, this in-person summertime retreat offers renewal, empowerment, and a path to vibrant aliveness. We'll be weaving group workshops and healing circles with outdoor excursions and healthy meals. Awaken your authentic essence, reclaim your wild woman, and embrace your gift of multi-dimensional sensitivity. You’ll be guided to cleanse, balance, and nourish your body temple, deepen your intuition, and more fully embody your flow of feminine presence.Â
I Invite You to Schedule a Discovery Call.
I would be honored to meet you. Join me for a 30-minute conversation where I can learn about your personal journey, challenges, and aspirations. This is a safe space, where I listen, reflect, and answer your questions about the possibility of working together in a coaching or program container.
Start Your Journey with JoyMy Story, Studies, & Healing Journey
At 25, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner. For ten years, I served full-time as an intuitive body worker, supporting clients in balancing energy systems, regulating the nervous system, and fostering an integrated connection among their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies.
Over the years, I've studied meditation, tantra, feminine leadership, priestess ceremony, shamanism, herbalism, and healing traditions that support greater awareness and integration. In 2023, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, further grounding my work in breath, presence, embodiment, and mindful living.
My path has also included spiritual pilgrimages around the world, including Central America, the Highlands of Peru and the Amazon, India, Israel, Africa, and over fifteen countries in Europe. In 2019, I was initiated into a life-changing awakening in Mary Magdeline’s Cave in the South of France. These cultural and spiritual experiences deeply shape the way I facilitate, guide, and hold sacred space for others.
Earlier in my life, I was involved in eco-agriculture, permaculture, and sustainable farming, which strengthened my connection to nature, cycles, stewardship, and the understanding that growth unfolds organically and evolution is our natural birthright.
My book, Inspired: 7 Wisdoms of a Soul-Inspired Life, reflects many of the principles and lived experiences that continue to infuse my work today.
One of the most transformative chapters of my life began when I met Gavin, the love of my life, at age 52. Our relationship has become a profound path of devotion, honesty, and healing. The consciousness of care, presence, and commitment we share continues to inform much of my work with women, singles, couples, and communities as we explore ever-new edges of what it means to love and live well.
