I was born with Heather as my given name. The spiritual path is not one I chose or saw modeled in my family, but rather one that was thrust onto me completely unexpectedly. I was born a girl always rooted in logic, with a deep passion for art. I went to college to receive a degree in digital media & design, and then began working in broadcast news as a videographer.

Then in 2023—5 years after the death of my mom—I began to receive signs that made me question the seemingly random nature of the universe. Synchronistic events began happening that were so orchestrated, even my usually skeptical mind could not deny a divine hand in the order of things. I began following these signs, and suddenly a new path—the one my soul was always calling me toward, but that I could never predict—opened itself up to me.

My life has been characterized by deep mental pain and immense loss. Growing up I was constantly outcasted and shadowed with a deep loneliness. I then experienced sexual abuse when I was 17, and a year later, my mom had a stroke the day I moved into college, passing after three weeks in a coma. I spent years drowning in my mind, labeled with depression and anxiety, until at 22 I finally discovered I was actually neurodivergent (autistic + ADHD, although I prefer the term neurodivergent, because I believe these neurotypes are inherently spiritual in nature, and the term “neurodivergent” lives outside of the Western pathology paradigm). I suddenly understood why I had always felt outcasted, always felt like everyone had a rulebook to life that I didn’t. I was determined to not let these labels define me, and so I went on a deep dive to learn the entire structural patterns behind autistic + ADHD thinking, emotional processing, etc. so that I could build new strategies for managing life and attaining my goals.

At that time I first made the discovery of my neurodivergence, I was navigating my first job after college. Eventually my neurodivergent burnout from the corporate space became so debilitating I had no choice but to leave that job, with my entire life suddenly becoming one big question mark.

It was in that dark void that my spiritual path emerged, and so did a doorway to alchemizing all of my suffering into wisdom, no matter how long or difficult the walk. So I began that walk, deeply analyzing and beginning to rewrite my negative subconscious perceptions. I also began coaching and guiding others on their own walk. There are many coaches out there these days, and so I want to clearly state that my personal pull to mentorship was not a logical or financial decision, but rather a deep-rooted calling that I uncovered when I connected to something greater than myself. When my spiritual journey began, I started unlocking the keys to alchemizing my own suffering; I started seeing the patterns of the universe and learning how to use them to guide my path; and I had seen darkness so difficult that all I wanted to do was share these things with others, so that no one else would have to go to the depth of hell that I had already been.

Since then I’ve had a strong commitment to myself to always do the difficult things to follow my path of highest potential—confront every fear, transmute every shadow, and break every karmic chain. This insatiable drive comes not just for myself, but because I always knew in learning how to trigger my own evolution, I would be able to return with the medicine for those I am meant to be of service for.

This has led me to many quests well outside of my comfort zone, including posting online despite deep-seated visibility wounds to build an 100k+ online community; traveling globally as a solo female traveler solely based on intuition for two years, despite crippling anxiety in my past; deep and painful body work to clear my energy field of past trauma; trainings in various disciplines such as Vipassana meditation, with a total of 80 hours of meditation in a 10 day period; etc. I am not one to do anything halfway, and I bring that energy to every single thing that I do, which translates to the numerous fields that I work within, and especially to my work with my clients.

Within my journey I also unlocked my psychic gifts—not by random, but intention, in a framework I now teach to others. (Subscribe to my newsletter to receive updates on the next release of my Neurodivergent Alchemy program.) I provide psychic readings, and bring this gift into my 1:1 work as well. Currently my available readings are in the form of poetic prophecies, reflecting my deep love for writing and poetry as an art form, merged with spiritual guidance.

I had thought that with everything I had discovered, the darkness in my journey was now over, but God was not done with me yet. Near the end of 2024 I began struggling with chronic illness, and by fall of 2025 it became so severe that I had to stop working, move in with others, and at the height of it, I was completely bedbound, unable to sit up or stand for long periods of time, and had one night where my body felt like it was giving up and I believed I was about to die. I begged God (in a non-religious frame) to let me live and give me a path out of this hell and I would listen.

I lived through that night, and within two weeks, I began receiving psychic information on shamanic magic and energy work to begin to heal my physical body. This not only allowed me to cure my dysautonomia and severe fatigue, but it also heightened my psychic gifts a thousand fold and attuned me to uncover a new realm of shamanic work—including intuitive energy work, spell work, soul retrieval, entity clearing, etc. I was in awe at how my reality began to shift so rapidly, until I came to learn that in native traditions this is the initiation of a shaman, referred to as being “struck by lightning”—a direct call from the spirit world for a path of service after either a near-death experience or severe chronic illness.

Although my given name is Heather, I bring you offerings under my soul’s name, Athena. It is her who was resurrected, that night I made peace with imminent death. I return from that experience with a deep reverence for the wisdom born of that now darkest time in my life, and an even deeper call to use this miracle that was granted me to continue to guide others, in the numerous fields that I have been given gifts in.

All of this wide range of life experience informs who I am as a practitioner. You can click Mentorship in the main website navigation to apply for one of my few 1:1 mentorship spots. They are there for the ones who are truly ready to radically shift.
