✨ Awakened by the Owl

Meet Elise

I believe every woman carries an inner wisdom that no trauma, circumstance, or life experience can ever take away.

For many years, I searched outside myself for answers, believing that healing meant becoming someone different. I spent much of my life surviving moving through adversity, questioning my worth, and trying to hold everything together. It wasn’t until I learned to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with my relationship with God that I realized healing was never about fixing myself. It was about remembering who I had always been beneath the layers of fear, pain, and conditioning.

Today, I no longer define myself by what I’ve survived. I define myself by the life I’ve intentionally created and the woman I’ve become through choosing healing, self-trust, and faith.

I am an author, trauma-informed life coach, Reiki practitioner, spiritual mentor, and the founder of the SEASTAR Sisterhood a community created to help women transcend trauma, cultivate self-trust, and embrace a life of purpose, peace, and spiritual connection.

My work is rooted in the understanding that healing is not a destination or a perfect version of yourself. It is a lifelong relationship with your mind, body, and spirit. It is learning to regulate your nervous system, honor your emotions, set healthy boundaries, reconnect with your intuition, and create a life that reflects who you truly are.

Drawing from my education in psychology, my training in holistic wellness, Reiki, mindfulness, coaching, and years of lived experience, I offer an approach that bridges science and spirituality. I believe these two worlds can work together to support meaningful and lasting transformation.

Everything I create—from books, guided meditations, workshops, coaching sessions, and educational resources—is designed to empower women with practical tools while honoring the sacred nature of their healing journey. My goal is never to tell you who to become. My role is to help you uncover the strength, wisdom, and resilience that have always existed within you.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is this:

I don’t help women heal because they’re broken. I help them remember who they were before survival became their identity.

Whether you’ve experienced trauma, loss, burnout, self-doubt, or you’re simply feeling called toward a deeper connection with yourself, know that you are welcome here.

You don’t have to earn your worth.

You don’t have to prove your resilience.

You don’t have to carry everything alone.

You are worthy of rest.
You are worthy of joy.
You are worthy of healthy relationships.
You are worthy of creating a life that feels aligned with your values and your purpose.

My hope is that every interaction we share reminds you that healing doesn’t erase your past—it transforms your relationship with it. Your story can become a source of wisdom, compassion, and strength that not only changes your own life but creates a ripple effect for generations to come.

Thank you for being here. It is an honor to walk alongside women who are choosing courage, authenticity, and self-compassion.

Welcome home.

With gratitude,

Elise Skibik
