I’M MEREDITH,

Soul Guide

YOGA TEACHER, AUTHOR, PRIESTESS & COACH

 

I hold the codes of

Devotion and true yearning for liberation as a yogi and spiritual seeker, structure and balance as an entrepreneur and business woman, and the healing balm of the sacred feminine as an initiated priestess and soul guide for women on their path of awakening.

I am also a sister, a friend, a wife and a mother.

I love seeing a woman overcome her fears, shine at her brightest and use her voice to be a beacon of light for others to awaken.

You’ll currently find me living with my husband and daughter amidst the oaks and redwoods in Sonoma County, California. I spend my days interviewing women for the Rising Women Leaders podcast, holding healing space for beloved clients and teaching yoga in my community and around the world. 

I believe in women sharing their voice and gifts at their

As a Coach, Priestess and Soul Guide…

I support women to expand their impact while staying true to their life’s purpose and mission. I’ve supported many women in overcoming fears to share their gifts and spread their reach while honoring a feminine way of being and living.

When allowing yourself to be seen, I know firsthand fear, self-doubt and blocks inevitably come up along the way. I use EFT Tapping and Timeline Healing work with my clients to access the level of the subconscious and heal what’s holding them back from stepping into greater visibility and honoring their innate worth.

Sometimes we dive into memories and wounds from childhood, adolescence or even past lives. I’ve also held space for many women to heal their womb from health challenges, painful menstrual cycles, their relationship to their femininity and sexuality, healing past abuse and/or abortions, miscarriages, or healing birth trauma and rewriting birth experiences.

I’ve been honored to support over 90 women to honor and claim their path as a Priestess, a vessel for the divine, in our year and a day long Way of the Priestess Initiation program.

fullest expression

As a Podcast Host…

I elevate women’s voices to awaken and inspire women rising on the path of feminine leadership on the Rising Women Leaders Podcast. I believe it’s incredibly healing when a woman is witnessed in sharing her story, and it’s those stories that will uplift, encourage and inspire us all.

As a Yoga Teacher…

I support my students to open their heart, feel their emotions, and find alignment in their bodies.

I believe it’s in the willingness to go into the places of discomfort and hold ourselves with compassion that we find the most growth. And I believe it’s through the body where we discover our intuition, our body’s wisdom, that can guide us to the most aligned next step on our path. 

My yoga classes have an emphasis on biomechanics, alignment and the power of the heart. I invite my students into depth of feeling, self-love and compassion

The Full Story

I’ve walked many paths and it hasn’t always been easy for me to stand in my power.

I have journeyed through the depths of initiation. I am no stranger to the energies of the dark goddess.

It was a path of debilitating chronic pain that led me to begin my awakening. It was through learning to soften, and just be through it all that I eventually found relief. Through being, feeling and releasing old stories, limiting beliefs and thoughts of self-devaluation, I began to heal.  And it was through women's circles, teaching yoga, and safe supportive communities that I found my true voice.

I was 18, living in New York City when I began to develop intense headaches and pain that went down one whole side of my body. I went to all the doctors, had MRI’s, but all they had for me were painkillers or anti-depressants. I felt at a loss. Then my skin started breaking out, and the thought of being seen or sharing my voice terrified me, sometimes to the point where I would hide behind my hair.

When I finished school and simultaneously went through a difficult breakup, I was completely unsure of what to do next with my life.

Then I found yoga.

And it was there, I learned how to just be with the full spectrum of my emotions just as they were. I can still remember lying in pigeon pose, going into the depths of sensations in my hip, and instead of running away from it or numbing out, I listened to the teacher and found my breath.

Through being with myself, my emotions and my life just as they were, through allowing my whole experience without trying to fix or change it, I discovered the quiet voice of my heart, my intuition, and I began dreaming up a new vision for my life.

Lying in savasana, I saw myself moving across the country to California. So at 22 I began to listen to the call of my heart…

I took a courageous leap.

I moved across the country to begin a new life in San Francisco. It was ten days after being in California that a man came up to me in a park and said, “I don’t know why I feel the need to tell you this, but I’m going to see a saint this weekend, an enlightened woman, and I have a feeling you’re supposed to go.” 

I listened.

That saint happened to be Amma, an Indian guru who travels around the world giving people hugs. My experience of meeting her, and the events that occurred afterwards led me to India where I lived for six months meditating, practicing yoga and studying with spiritual teachers.

Arriving home, I was guided to write my first book, Just Be: A Search for Self-Love in India.

Writing and publishing a book was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done (it took 7 years to go from an idea to publication), but it is still one of the dreams I have accomplished that I feel most proud of.

Life Today

While writing my book, I was guided to start my business as a women’s leadership coach, priestess guide and yoga teacher where my teachings have now reached thousands.

I’ve taught yoga and led women’s leadership trainings and retreats in the US and internationally, most recently in Bali, Indonesia, and Umbria, Italy.

In 2015 I started the Rising Women Leaders podcast where thousands of listeners now tune in every week.

I feel blessed to spend my days teaching and mentoring awakening women on the path of sharing their gifts and their voice. 

It would be an honor to connect with you, to hear your story and be of service to you on the next evolution of your soul’s growth.

  • You’re called to a path of service and want to give back but you’re lacking the clarity and confidence to execute on your vision

  • You’re on a spiritual path but sometimes feel lost or alone and would love the support and encouragement of a guide

  • You know what you have to give is of value but you may struggle charging for and embodying your true worth

  • You have big dreams but are lacking the structure and accountability to manifest them

  • You feel drawn to the path of the Priestess, one who is here to serve, awaken and uplift others

  • You desire to let go of self-sacrifice and create a life that honors self-care and your natural rhythms and cycles

  • You long to connect to likeminded women on the path of spiritual awakening and/or entrepreneurship

Did You Know?

  • I’m a Pisces sun, Leo moon and Scorpio rising in Western Astrology and Aquarius sun, Cancer moon and Libra rising in Eastern/Vedic Astrology. My daughter and I have the exact same signs in Western Astrology, and the same rising sign in Eastern.

  • After meeting my love Michael in 2010, we knew life was taking us in different directions. We completely let each other go, said goodbye and didn’t speak to or see each other for a year and a half. It was by pure coincidence we both found ourselves at Amma’s ashram in San Ramon, CA and were reunited the moment Amma stepped out of her car and walked into the temple. In 2018 we married on the Autumn Equinox at a farm in Sebastopol, CA

  • I named my cat Quan Yin because she literally walked into my house the morning after I gave one of my best friends a statue of Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion

  • I’ve been a world traveler since I was a young girl, and have been to 6 out of 7 continents so far, including Antarctica Even though I grew up outside New York City, I spent every summer and winter visiting the lakes of Northern Minnesota, where my father grew up

  • I’m a certified EFT & Timeline Healing practitioner and often use “tapping” to help my clients work on the subconscious level to heal trauma and powerfully reframe limiting beliefs

  • Sitting in sacred circle hearing other women share the truth of their heart is one of my absolute favorite places to be. I believe when a woman feels the support of her sisters behind her, she is able to rise higher than ever before

I hold infinite gratitude to my teachers who have helped me become the leader, healer and guide I am today:

Amma, meditation, devotion, selfless service, The Self Realization Fellowship & Yogananada, the Kriya Yoga path, Rob Nelson EFT trainer, Marin Bach-Antonson, priestess guide , Sianna Sherman, yoga , Kimber Simpkins, yoga, Porsha Beed anti-racism work, Richard Powell, vedic astrology, Barbara Essman, sacred birth + doula training, Goenka, vipassana meditation, Mary Magdalene and all of my guides and angels in the etheric realms.

  • “Speaking to strangers has been one of my greatest fears that would often shut off my ability to be fully present and prevent me from making new connections with people. I dedicated a good portion of my life trying to overcome this fear by intentionally seeking out experiences that triggered this fear and this process was extremely difficult and the progress felt extremely slow.

    I was skeptical initially, but I now consider EFT as a gift to humanity and Meredith is incredible at sharing this gift with others.

    After a few sessions with Meredith on healing my voice and the fears associated with that, I now find myself effortlessly interacting with strangers, making new connections and to my greatest surprise I am starting to enjoy mingling in large corporate settings, which would previously terrify me.”

    ~Alina Daunyte

  • “Meredith is such a beautiful, kind hearted and supportive soul sister and I am so honoured to have had the pleasure of learning from her. I learned so much about the world and about myself that I didn’t think was possible. The information I learned from Meredith was incredible, every part of my life has been impacted, my relationships, spiritual practice, finances, work, my relationship with myself and with my children is all so much stronger as a result."

    Karissa Howard, Soulful Guide, Australia

  • "I was immediately inspired by Meredith's bravery and authenticity. Before my first time working with Meredith I was at a job that I hated and I had a lot of fear about my gifts. I was preoccupied with worry about my finances and felt disconnected from my truth. What I liked most about working with Meredith was how she helped shift my perspectives when I was talking down to myself. She provided resources, tools and exercises that supported me in maintaining what I actually wanted. I quit my draining job, I met my income goal in my hypnotherapy practice, and I launched my website to support women all over the world in healing their relationships to food."

    Karen Prosen, Therapist + Designer, CA

  • "I loved the space Meredith held. I felt that I could talk about anything and everything, bare every emotion + judgement + fear and that I would never be shamed for it. I also loved having an accountability partner. It helped immensely knowing that someone I trusted + someone that cared for me wanted me to succeed and was helping in overseeing that."

    Devon Loftus, Author of the Moon Cycle Cookbook

  • “Working with Meredith has been transformational. Under her mentorship I was able to break so many limited beliefs that were holding me back in my personal practice and in different areas of my life. She brought me back to a place deep inside my heart that had been shut down by many different layers of fear. She provided the perfect space for me to feel safe as I allowed myself to nourish and heal from layers of deep seeded ancestral trauma. Her warmth and love nourished my heart in ways that I will be forever grateful."
