I can write out more but i really feel that it sums this question up! 🙂
If you have more questions — happy to follow up!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I would say 100% this has NOT been a smooth road. In fact, many of the trainings and practices I’ve created came directly out of the struggles I experienced along the way.
When I first had my multidimensional spiritual awakening, it was extremely challenging for my conscious mind, my sense of sanity, and my physical body. I began perceiving things that I couldn’t see with my ordinary eyesight. I understood this as psychic sight associated with third-eye activation. When you’re seeing and experiencing things that nobody around you seems to be experiencing, you can understandably begin to question your own sanity—I certainly did. There was certainly a reckoning and a dark night of the soul when I had to cross out, redefine and expand my religious and spiritual belief system.
And then there was the challenge of coming back into the physical body after experiencing what felt like very expanded states of consciousness. In meditation, I could feel weightless and free, and then I’d return to the physical world—rush-hour traffic, violence in the news, negativity, the density of everyday life—and the contrast could be incredibly jarring. I felt like my body was struggling to acclimate between these very different states of experience.
Eventually, I became physically unwell as well, with a mysterious illness that didn’t respond to antibiotics. It was a very difficult period. I remember having conversations with God and saying, “This is so hard. You can’t expect most people to be willing to do this.”
And honestly, if I had known beforehand what I was getting myself into, I probably would have done it anyway—but I would have approached it very differently. I would have waded in instead of jumping headfirst.
That’s actually one of the greatest lessons I’ve taken from my own experience, and it’s what I teach now: you don’t have to rush your awakening. You can learn how to consciously and gradually acclimate the body to expanded states of consciousness.
They say you teach what you most need to learn, so in many ways, my struggles became the blueprint for the tools and trainings I created.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
LONG ANSWER – KIND OF STREAMING THOUGHT… PLEASE WICK IT DOWN : )
I’m a consciousness coach, but I think of my work as something a little different. I translate spiritual wisdom into easy-to-follow protocols for conscious embodiment.
My work is really about helping people move beyond simply accessing higher states of consciousness and learn how to embody them—to bring greater clarity, intuition, discernment, and authentic power into the physical experience of being human.
My specialty is working with people who have already begun the journey of spiritual awakening. Today, that can feel almost like a “rude awakening”—from disillusionment with trusted leaders and institutions to the deeper work of clearing trauma and releasing old programming. Wherever someone is in that process, I believe we can intentionally support the body as it adapts and evolves. Light is information, and the body needs support in integrating it. That’s why I developed the Light Body Activation & Transmission. Awakening can be messy—I speak from my own experience—and I created tools to help myself and others navigate it as consciously and lovingly as possible.
There’s a term called “spiritual bypassing,” which means using spirituality as a way of escaping being human. My work explores what happens when we become more fully human by learning to embody what we’ve discovered beyond this physical third dimension—that we are more than just physical beings. I believe humanity is awakening to that right now. When we bring our immortal spirit to the table and merge it with our physical—and mortal—identity, we begin to embody humanity’s next evolution. I believe this is how we were designed to evolve: not through spiritual bypassing, but through spiritual integration.
One of the things I’m best known for is Light Body Activation, a training I developed out of my own healing journey. It’s not a meditation or something I ask people to simply listen to—it’s an activation sequence designed to help the body integrate expanded states of consciousness. Rather than leaving the body behind in meditation, we bring enough light into the body for it to experience higher frequencies directly. Over time, the body becomes a more conscious communication system—essentially, it begins speaking to us.
I’m also fascinated by the possibility that the next step in human evolution doesn’t have to come from something implanted, injected, or prescribed to us. I’m not against those things, they have purpose and value, but I’m interested in evolution from the inside out—discovering and developing capacities that may already exist within us.
When I’m not teaching spirituality and Light Body Activation, I work with the Alliance for Regenerative Communities (ARC), an international coalition bringing people and organizations together to create a healthier future for humanity and the planet.
ARC is planning a global showcase of regenerative practices, products, and solutions to coincide with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. We’re also establishing a HUB in Venice Beach for regenerative businesses and community, and developing a documentary exploring what’s possible if humanity chooses a regenerative path in a world increasingly intertwined with AI.
(BTW — I would love to hear from Central Coast Voyager readers who share this vision. We’re always looking to grow our network and build community! )
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I think one of the biggest risks I’ve taken has been allowing myself to be seen in this new identity. I came from a journalistic background, working in news, documentaries, and biopics, where factual information, evidence, and historical events were the foundation of my work. Moving into spirituality meant entering a realm where so much of what I was experiencing and sharing couldn’t necessarily be validated or measured by the tools we currently have.
There was a real risk in bringing this work back to the community I came from. I was concerned that embracing this side of myself could affect how I was perceived professionally, and I was even told that if I ever wanted to return to journalism, this work might create a barrier. That’s part of why I believe I was given the spiritual name Atheena—to create some separation between these two identities.
For almost five years now, I’ve been practicing spiritual coaching, Light Body training, and energetic healing, and I’m becoming more comfortable coming out of what I call the “spiritual closet.”
For me, there was also a lot of fear around judgment and imposter syndrome. I was very concerned about judgment and rejection from family and other life-long relationships. I was so concerned about how people close to me would perceive this new direction that I sometimes chose silence over explaining what I was actually doing. Ironically, that silence created its own kind of judgment, because people close to me could only see what I wasn’t doing rather than what I was building. It reminds me of a phrase I’ve always loved: “One often meets their destiny on the road they take to avoid it.” In trying to avoid judgment, I was actually creating the very confrontation with judgment that I needed to move through.
I think that’s ultimately what risk has taught me: sometimes the greatest risk isn’t stepping into something new; it’s continuing to hide who you are because you’re afraid of how other people will respond. But I’m becoming more confident in what God thinks of me versus what everybody else thinks of me. At the end of the day, that’s what matters to me.
I’ve had to confront my own judgment of myself, as well. I had a very different life before my awakening. I smoked, I drank, I worked hard and partied hard. I had always had a spiritual depth to me, but my identity looked very different. And when you make a profound change, there will always be people who wonder, “Who is this person now?”
I’ve had to become comfortable with that.
And perhaps that’s the greatest lesson I’ve learned about risk: I don’t think we’re here to avoid judgment. I think we’re here to learn to release it—including the judgment we hold against ourselves and the way we can draw that judgment out of others.
So today, I think about risk differently. I’m less concerned with whether everyone will understand what I’m doing and more concerned with whether I’m being authentic to what I believe I’m here to do.
