Venus brings years of her own hard-earned & embodied wisdom on this path to more LOVE. Having navigated winding paths to self-improvement since 2008, it all finally clicked when she discovered that everything she desired was on the other side of how much sensation (aka toxic shame) she could witness & process through her body. She is committed to sharing her breakthroughs with compassion and directness to accelerate and alchemize other beautiful humans on their path to deep love, acceptance and unbridled passion for life.

Venus evolved from a corporate Human Resources Director in Chicago advertising agencies, to an Energy Healing Consultant who owned and operated Lighten Up Energy + Yoga in Chicago, to an entrepreneurial self-help Love Guide based in Durango, Colorado. With 16 years of experience, she is ready to be your loving guide on the path to healthy, loving relationships.

Venus has experience as a Reiki Master/Teacher, Bhakti Vinyasa Yoga Instructor (the yoga of love & devotion), in Transformational Breathwork, 9 years of deep contemplation with the Gene Keys, extensive personal psychedelic journeying, non-violent communication, IFS parts work, somatic movement and dance, and a substantial background in music and voice work.

Committed to her own growth and evolution, she finally discovered her deep underlying shame and internal dialogue and chose to turn toward those feelings, running head first into the storm - creating ceremony to somatically experience them, and coming through on the other side more alive, more loving and more embodied. She never stops in her pursuit to embody more of her soul essence in this body.

The Venus Oracle is the culmination of her life's journey to find love, satisfaction and fulfillment, and to share it with her fellow human beings on their respective paths.

An update on your work...with my man.

He feels sooooo different. More similar to the first month of knowing him. More confident. More open and flexible. And I feel like I have so much more freedom to be me. We’re slowly exploring this new dynamic since his breakthrough with you as he is integrating rapidly.

Also I could add that literally right before yall’s call... I thought our relationship was over as far as any possibility of romance.

• M.B., PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Not only did Venus support me to communicate effectively for some really challenging relationship conversations, but her love transmissions have guided me to up-level my own communication. I have found myself utilizing the techniques that she taught me on my own -- they come through me as if it were always my natural way of communicating! And the best part - it wasn’t a long process! Her ability to connect me to my highest form of communication felt smooth and simple. Where I once felt frozen and incapable, I now feel confident to effectively tune into my own experience and share my needs and boundaries, while considering all parties involved. She’s a master, and I’m SO grateful to receive her relationship coaching and support.

After dating the father of my daughter for

3.5 years, our relationship had fallen into some agonizing patterns. Just one session with Venus provided multiple breakthroughs! She helped us realize we were communicating the same feelings and needs in very different ways and had us tap into those stored emotions and release together. He cried tears in front of me for the second time in our relationship, and we connected on a deeper level than was previously accessible. Each consultation I have with Venus, reveals better ways for me to express. Words can't say enough about how Venus embodies this essential life skill! She's knowledgeable in polarity teachings and shines light on my tendency to be in a dysfunctional masculine role. We are having fun learning how I can love myself more and erect my own healthy masculine container to soften into my feminine expression. I am very grateful to have Venus' relationship consulting and plan to utilize her skills to help shift patterns with my mother next!

• MAE, VISUAL ARTIST

Venus has been extremely helpful in encouraging me to communicate my deepest desires and ask for them to be met - even when that feels vulnerable & scary. Her courage to communicate with others so clearly and directly is so inspiring to me and has helped me really deepen the human connections in my life! She truly has a gift for helping people deepen their understanding of one another and communicate their truth without judgement nor blame. I’ve seen her mediate disagreements between two people in real time, and the perspective she’s able to provide is so profoundly clearing and healing to all who get to witness & experience it. I highly recommend working with her if you’re looking to grow your communication skills, confidence and ability to connect with people on a deeper, realer & more compassionate level!

• I.G., BRANDING ENTREPRENEUR

Venus creates absolute MAGIC through her coaching services and if you have the opportunity to work with her I highlyyyyyy recommend saying yes to this once in a lifetime opportunity.

I started working with Venus at a time when I was at an absolute loss for how to cultivate a healthy, empowered romantic partnership. Time & time again I'd found myself diving headfirst into a relationship, becoming all-consumed, getting lost in it.. & then watching everything crash & burn in utter devastation.

I'm absolutely amazed at how much progress I've made with her in such a short period of time. I can truly say that Venus has helped me create more profound healing & transformation inside of myself than any other coach, healer or therapist I've worked with (and I've worked with sooo many). She's not only helped me turn my love life around, but she's also helped me fall more deeply in love with myself and deepen my ability to really hold myself through anything that comes up in life.

I long thought of myself as someone who really feels my feelings...yet Venus helped me uncover all the places I was still stuck, frozen & suppressed and move old emotional energy so that I could show up as a more loving, empowered & mature version of myself in my relationships - in Love, friendship, family, and even in business.

I'm now feeling more confident & whole than ever before, and I strongly attribute it to our work together. Venus has even helped me repair the romantic partnership that was falling apart when I first started working with her... and alchemize it into a dreamy, solid, interdependent connection. Every time she helps me shift something inside of myself, I see a potent & positive shift reflected immediately in my romantic relationship...

It feels like literal magic.

I could go on & on about what an amazing experience this is.

Work with Venus if you want to powerfully change your life & experience more freedom, wholeness & fulfilling human connection!!
