My Journey!
My journey to creating the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy has been a lifelong path of learning, exploration, and empowerment. My fascination with ancient history, particularly the stories of powerful women like the Oracle of Delphi, has always drawn me to the wisdom of the past. These women, who were revered as keepers of divine knowledge and sacred practices, inspired me to seek and share their forgotten traditions.
As a lifelong learner and educator, I’ve had the privilege of teaching at the college level, where my passion for sharing wisdom flourished. Through my studies of spiritual practices, divination, and the sacred feminine, I have found profound strength in empowering other women to connect with their inner wisdom and reclaim their divine power.
This journey has not been without its challenges, but each step has taught me resilience and deepened my connection to the sacred arts. From studying energy healing like Reiki to exploring goddess studies and spiritualism, my path has been one of continuous transformation and self-discovery.
The academy is my way of bringing together these passions and experiences to create a space where women can rediscover the ancient wisdom that has always been within them. It is a sanctuary for learning, healing, and empowerment—a place where we honor the sacred feminine and embrace our roles as modern priestesses.
