About Grace
“When your human and spiritual selves are integrated, you can create, serve, and live from an authentic wholeness that shows up in real life.”
I’m Grace.
I’m an animal photographer, author, and energy intuitive who has spent the last two decades walking a spiritual path while building a successful creative life and business in the real world.
My work is rooted in one simple truth:
Awakening isn’t meant to pull you away from life. It’s meant to bring you more fully into it.
For many years, I searched for depth, meaning, and truth while also navigating relationships, work, creativity, money, and family life. I saw firsthand how often spirituality is framed as something separate and transcendent from real life - as if you have to choose between spiritual depth and a grounded, abundant existence.
My lived experience has shown me the opposite.
When your inner life is embodied, and integrated with your higher spiritual nature, everything begins to change. Your creativity deepens. Your intuition strengthens. Your relationships become more honest. Your work gains clarity and purpose. You start to feel coherent instead of split.
That’s the kind of awakening I teach.
Through down-to-earth spiritual connection, I help people strengthen their relationship to themselves and to Spirit so they can remember who they truly are, and learn how to live from that knowing in everyday life.
I don’t believe in bypassing the human experience or transcending it. I believe in integration. I believe awakening to your Spirit includes your body, your creativity, your work, your relationships, and the way you show up in the world.
When your human and spiritual selves are integrated, you can create, serve, and live from an authentic wholeness that shows up in real life.
My work is guided by the understanding that your awakening has purpose. What opens in you is not just for you. It’s meant to move through you — and the world you’re part of.
This is Awakening with Grace.
A grounded, embodied approach to spiritual awakening that honors real life and the meaningful contribution that becomes possible when you remember who you are.
