Hi love, thank you for your curiosity and courage to learn a little more about me and what I do! I’ve made it my mission to make ancient healing tools and practices ‘new’ and accessible for modern women so that they can change themselves and the world around them and live the life their soul is calling them to live. Especially when it seems hard….
“I Woke Up Like This.”
-Beyonce
How did I get here? As were many women in my family before me, I was born with gifts of sight and feeling (aka clairvoyance and clairsentience). .Without guidance from them however, I grew up thinking that I was seeing ‘imaginary friends’ and ‘daydreaming’ and maybe even a little crazy (!) not knowing that I was seeing ‘actual’ spirit beings and projections of others’ stories & experiences.
I tuned it all out, focused on art making and went to study interior architecture at the Ohio State University with a little side study into yoga, astrology, philosophy, buddhism and anthropology… I was ONE credit shy of a minor in Anthropology! Not knowing what to do with that, I spent a decade working at big commercial architecture firms in Washington DC. Soon after, I followed the desire to escape the corporate world and relocated to a tiny beach town hours from the city. I arrived into
this new town where I knew noone and three months later on christmas day experienced the painful loss of my favorite human, my mommy. I was overcome with debilitating loneliness and grief. All of this manifested into mysterious illness and chronic gastrointestinal pain and I found myself lost with nowhere to turn when traditional western medicine could provide no answers and no relief.
Upon the recommendation of a friend to visit our local Medicine Woman Terri Pippin, not only did I find miraculous healing, but my life was changed forever. After that first visit with my shaman I gave myself permission to step into full alignment with who I was and to own and share the gifts that had run through my bloodlines for ages.
Do NOT Spend Another Day Fumbling In the Dark Alone.
Today, as a full-time practicing shaman I have helped over 700 women reconstruct the biggest transitions and crises of their lives into their most powerful metamorphoses.
I’ve completed trainings and certification programs led by some of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time like Dr. Brian Weiss and Sandra Ingerman. I’ve guest instructed and spoken on many podcasts and apps like Happiness Planner and Insight Timer and at top spiritual institutions like the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. My clients and students now stretch from east coast to west coast and beyond. I can proudly say that I’m helping women all over the world heal, come into their power and collectively create real magic in their worlds.
A Few Fun Facts About Me…
So now you know me as a shaman… Here are a few personal tidbits about who I am as a person!
1. I have FIVE kids!
We are a blended family with FIVE kids and our awesome dog Gryffin! We have two 7-year olds, two 9-year olds and an almost adult! My first born son Kai is 18 years old and has just entered the world of pro skateboarding with an awesome sponsorship with Volcom East Coast! I am one proud mama and am very passionate about supporting other mamas and their families!
2. I am a proud Airstream geek
We are renovating and restoring our 1984 Airstream and absolutely LOVE taking family road trips all over the east coast. I dream of making the big trek to the west coast sometime soon!
3. I LOVE to dance
I grew up dancing acrobatics, jazz and tap and in 2006 I found bellydance! I fell in love and from Ohio to Washington DC to the beach here in Delaware I’ve found incredible instructors and groups to keep me dancing. Every year you can find me dancing at the Embody the Goddess Retreat!

“During the entire time with Athena, I felt like we were in the same place together. She was loving, empathetic, a great listener and funny. We laughed a lot and I felt like I was talking to a close friend. Most especially there was a lightness of her spirit that I found to be so soothing to my weary soul.
I was grateful that her work with me was specific, insightful and clear. Her guidance hit all three aspects of body, mind and soul. After the session, I felt that I finally had some tools to assist me in my journey, insight to provide motivation and a teacher who gently pointed me in the right direction. ”

““I have said for a long time that I thought we had past lives, but until yesterday I don’t think I really BELIEVED it at my core. I have had very valuable psychiatric psychotherapy for over seven years to deal with that relationship, and in some ways there was still a blockage, but after one session yesterday, I perceive things quite differently and that has removed the blockage.
I just can’t thank you enough. I feel this was a very life-changing experience. In fact it was a lives changing experience in that. It also feels like it’s the beginning of something huge.””
— Susan B.
“At first sight of her I could feel her magical, calming energy. I thought “who is this woman? Spring of 2021 a friend recommended Athena for relationship issues with my partner who is neurodivergent. She was instrumental in guiding me and helping me heal those parts of me that were causing conflict in my relationship. I’ve participated in several of her weekly Soul Medicine sessions where the energy of the group was very healing. She has a powerful yet calming presence that I totally resonate with. She is humble, caring, and welcoming. She teaches/mentors in a manner that allows the individual to develop their own abilities on their own path.”
