Who we are
Sacred Explorers was founded by two women navigating life transitions who realized something powerful: we don’t have to walk this path alone—and neither do you.
Born from a deep desire to build a community of like-hearted women, Sacred Explorers is a space where exploration meets transformation. Whether through local gatherings or international retreats, our offerings invite you to rest, reflect, reconnect—and rise.
We believe:
To explore the world is to explore yourself
Stepping outside your daily life isn’t escape—it’s sacred space to reconnect with your goddess self
Self-care is not indulgence—it’s devotion
Community is medicine
Laughter and play are essential to healing and growth
When you step out of the chaos and into a sacred space—surrounded by women who witness, inspire, and hold you—you begin to feel yourself again. You begin to shift.
To those who’ve journeyed with us: thank you.
To those just arriving: welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.
Explore. Play. Reconnect.

Hello Beautiful Souls!
My close friends call me Ange—and I hope you will too, because if you’ve found your way here, I already feel like we’re kindred spirits.I’m a lifelong learner, endlessly curious and deeply passionate about growth. My academic journey began with degrees in Ancient History, Psychology, and Human Resources… but something deeper was calling me. About eight years ago, I found myself feeling stuck—disconnected from my essence. My spark had dimmed, and I knew something had to shift.
That’s when I took a leap and attended a women’s retreat in Ontario. I was nervous, but also quietly thrilled—because for the first time in a long time, I was choosing me. What I discovered there changed everything: connection, sisterhood, and the awakening of something far greater.
It was at that retreat that the concept of Core Magnificence was born—the belief that we are each born magnificent, and that true healing begins when we reconnect to that inner brilliance. I’ve spoken with many who’ve lost touch with that light, and I’ve seen how disconnection can manifest as dis-ease, depression, and emotional numbness.
Since that pivotal moment, I’ve become a certified Life and Wellness Coach, Empowerment Dynamic Coach, Sound Healer, Aboukra Egyptian Energy Healer, and Life Activation Practitioner. I weave movement, music, and energy work into everything I offer. I help you reconnect with your dreams as the creator of your life. I believe play is powerful medicine—and that dancing, laughing, and releasing energy are essential to living a vibrant, soul-led life.
These days, you’ll find me doing just that—dancing, laughing, and dreaming up my next adventure on this wild, spinning Earth.
My mission is simple and sacred: to help people around the world reconnect to their core magnificence—and to live from that place, with joy.

Hello Fellow Adventurer,
Most folks call me Kat — and I currently call Guelph, Ontario home. If you’ve landed here, I already feel a sense of kinship, because the path that brought me here is rooted in the same longing I imagine brought you: a desire to remember, to reconnect, and to live fully.
For the past two decades, I’ve been immersed in the body–mind–spirit field, guided by a question that kept tugging at me: why do so many of us still feel tired, stuck, or joyless even when we’re “doing all the right things”? My Master’s in Nutrition gave me the tools to create detailed plans, my Psychology degree taught me mindset practices, and my studies in spirituality opened me to the divine. And yet — something was still missing.
What I discovered is that at the root of so much struggle is disconnection: from our bodies, our food, our communities, the Earth, and even our own divinity. Without reconnection, lasting transformation remains just out of reach. Once I began focusing on reconnecting — with myself, with the natural cycles of the Earth and Moon, with the sacred woven through daily life — everything shifted. These connections became my own healing… and now they’re the heart of what I offer to you.
These days, my work is where science and magick meet. I weave together stone medicine, cacao ceremonies, and energy healing with my background in health science and psychology. Whether in a group setting or one-on-one, I create spaces where women can release what no longer serves, rediscover joy, and reclaim the truth of who they are.
If you’re looking for me outside of sessions, you’ll probably find me journaling with a cup of cacao, wandering near water, lost in conversation with a crystal, or nerding out about metaphysics and mitochondria with my teenage son.
My mission is simple and sacred: to help you reconnect — with your body, your power, and your joy — so that you can live as the radiant, whole being you’ve always been.
