I don’t have a single word for the kind of work my dear friend, teacher, and soul sister Athena has offered me over the course of several years, because her gifts go far beyond titles. She guided me through the depths of my spiritual awakening during a time when I felt alone and unsure how to make sense of what I was experiencing, and she continued to support me through many seasons of growth that followed. Through our work together, she helped me awaken a powerful feminine energy I didn’t even know lived within me, allowing me to return to a sense of wholeness and inner balance.
I have immense trust, love, and respect for Athena because her guidance comes from a deeply authentic place that cannot be taught. Whether through energy work, emotional clearing, or intuitive guidance, she consistently held a safe, grounded, and compassionate space that supported me in learning to trust my own gifts and inner knowing, especially during moments when they felt unclear or overwhelming.
She has a rare ability to create a direct channel for understanding and integrating various parts of myself. I often arrived at her home feeling scattered or heavy, and I always left feeling clearer, grounded, and empowered. I have met many energy workers and spiritual guides over the years, but none quite like Athena—someone with whom I feel such deep alignment.
