I believe every woman is a Goddess because she carries the Divine Feminine within.

But how many women experience themselves as the Goddess they ARE..?

Earth Empress is here to open a pathway for women who are ready to step into the vision they have of themselves, that perhaps few people even know about them…

One of my clients recently took The Body Cleanse and was feeling the exhuberant effects of cleansing her body and uplevelling her diet.

‘I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and said “Hi Gorgeous!” I smiled and even with my hair all over the place and my 50 year old morning skin I saw somebody I knew and loved but had not seen in a while. I plan to make this a morning ritual from this day forward! Thank you Shakaya!’

But then she wanted to go even further!

She wanted to embrace and reveal a side of herself that she normally doesn’t…

Her name is Jayne, and she has been a caring and competent nurse for decades, is a loving mother and friend. Jayne’s expressive, friendly nature makes it easy to be around her and she is well-liked by everyone who meets her!

Jayne is also responsible, conservative, stable, artisitc, athletic, very practical, determined and self-reliant; there is a powerful side to Jayne that is frustrated because it isn’t being expressed…

Through discussion and ritual Jayne and I have been exploring her inner Goddess- and She is powerful, feminine and sexy!

Jayne normally dresses conservatively and yet with my stylalist eye I knew she had a killer body hiding, and beautiful skin I wanted to show off!

I have created an exclusive VIP Intensive package for women that will draw out their Goddess, and show how beautiful and powerful she REALLY IS!

As part of the Earth Empress Goddess Makeover I chose exquisite fabrics that Jayne ‘would have NEVER picked’ out for herself.

One was a sensuous, slinky black shiny fabric that reminded me of a dark mermaid, and the other is a purple magenta color with luxurious roses embroidered. With these I created 2 custom Goddess gowns exclusively for Jayne, plus chose shoes and accessories.

Like every woman, Jayne was self conscious about certain parts of her body, but really liked other areas so I was sure to highlight her best features with each gown.

Next came the exciting photoshoot. Not every girl gets to be in a magazine, but she CAN have pictures of herself that looks like it! (For our second session next week, I will have a team of hair/makeup and professional photographer, but on my own I captured Jayne’s dramatic transformation revealing her magnetic beauty and elegance, and wanted to give you a sneak peak now!)

Jayne revealed that she is every inch a powerful Goddess! 

 When she saw herself, she couldn’t believe her eyes!

‘Who is that woman? I can’t believe that is ME! I look and feel beautiful…This is going to change everything!’

Transformation is the most intoxicating process in the world for me, and I can’t wait to show YOU yours!

I have been helping women transform their health and beauty from the inside with a Raw Food Diet, and now I want to show women how to fully embody a transformation on the outside.

Jayne is still getting used to this incredible transformation!

Please leave your comments for our beautiful new Goddess Jayne below and tell us what you see, what you feel as you reflect on her exquisite unfolding that she graces us with.

Sensual beauty is the language of a woman’s soul

Hello Empress Beauty,

The holidays are a beautiful time to exhale, relax and indulge a little.  I believe that ‘A little of what you fancy does you good’.

But, there is nothing worse than having January roll around and suddenly being an extra 10 pounds heavier and feeling sluggish from holiday excess.

I don’t want you to have to face another New Year like that! Eating abundance of raw, living foods especially during the holidays, will keep your vibe and looks at an all-time high.

This is the year you will go into the New Year feeling incredible!

My Personal Recipe for Holidays of Health and Beauty

The parties!  The holiday stress! The temptations! So, what to do while holidaying?

My recipe for soulful celebrations that fosters connectivity to oneself and others is a simple one:

♥ REFLECTION Getting in touch with what your intentions are around the holidays

♥ RELATIONSHIP Connecting with self and others in meaningful ways over the holidays

♥ RECIPES Enjoying festive food that supports health and enhance beauty

Bringing those elements together creates an amazing atmosphere and rich interactions. I have woven them all into a list of 10 practical ways for you to joyfully explore this holiday season!

My Top 10 Tips to holiday with Poise and Passion

1. Be prepared. The holidays bring up different emotions including FEAR that we will over-eat, and then the inevitable GUILT.  Many women have anxiety during the holidays around the endless buffets of food that is available. A lot of women are afraid they will go over-board and not be able to control themselves. Let’s shift this conversation right there!  You are a powerful woman capable of making choices that serve you. The food has no power over you and in itself is not scary.  It’s that you are not trusting yourself. Stop that.

You are a powerful goddess who makes important things happen, and make it look easy.

Set your intention for how you want to move through your holidays. It is actually a wonderful time to practice and strengthen your commitment to honouring yourself as the beautiful, worthy and valuable woman you truly are!

2. Wear a particular piece of jewelry that makes you feel like a Queen. And whenever you touch it or look at it during the festivities, let it serve as a sparkling reminder of your beauty and inner light that naturally radiates from YOU. You don’t need food to make you feel good when you are filled up from within from a deeper place of self-love. The holidays are a magical time and you are going to SHINE this year, inside-out!

You are a miracle of beauty, love and inspiration and are too modest to even consider how many feel blessed just to catch a glimpse of you…

3. Fill up on a gorgeous Green Smoothie that has lots of fresh fruit and green leaves of spinach or parsley, for example, right before heading out the door so you don’t arrive hungry. A healthy smoothie or snack that is high in fiber will fill you before you get to the party and will set the tone for the entire night.

4. Bring a large salad, dressing or raw dessert, one that you are excited about indulging in and will be proud to share.  Everyone loves dessert, and I have offered a gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, sugar-free no-bake decadent dessert below, plus a non-gluten, dairy and sugar-free egg nog everyone will love!

5. Be a sexy sampler.  One bite of this, one bite of that.  A little taste here and there won’t hurt, and will help you feel festive, not deprived.  Keep to your usual regimen, and then sprinkle in a little bit of naughtiness here and there. Have fun!

Your smile is the sweetest spot in the Universe, your laughter is music that opens minds and hearts to a better world.  You are so Beautiful!

6. Pass on the pastry and deep fried appetizers, and instead, create a pretty rainbow plate of whatever raw crudités or fruit are available. Remember, the first taste is with your eyes…You can create a plate of paradise that will be a feast for all your senses!

7. Drink lots of water with lime, out of an elegant wine goblet to feel fabulous!  Bring your own delicious egg and dairy-free Spice Nog, Pommegranate Wine, (see below for recipe) or favorite juice made fresh or from the Health Food Store. Add sparkling water for a special treat, and garnish with fresh mint or a pretty slice of lime. You will stay fresh, pretty and hydrated all night!

8. Chew wisely. Take your sweet time…Savour each and every bite, sensually.  Don’t forget to breathe. Maybe even carry portable chopsticks like I do; they will remind you to slow right down. It takes several minutes for the brain to register that you have eaten, and a lot can slip in unnoticed…Instead, breathe, relax, take in all the sites and sounds in the room- notice everyone’s plate piled high and being wolfed down, and then, pace yourself. Take small bites, put your cutlery down in between each one, and sip water. Stay attuned to your breathing and enjoy the ambience of the occasion. YOU are filled with peace and poise.

9. Carry a small bottle of Spirulina capsules tucked in your handbag and take about 4 an hour or so before the party.  Spirulina comes from special seaweed that contains an abundance of protein and minerals and is a true, ancient SUPERFOOD.  Spirulina helps to suppress the appetite because it is SO nutritious. I explain it more in depth in my book Naked Beauty.  It seriously works!  And the side effects?  Beautiful skin!

10. The holidays are a magical time to connect more deeply with yourself and everyone. To align yourself with your intention to embody the essence of the festivities and de-stress

* turn on some relaxing music while getting ready or upbeat tunes and dance around to get your blood flowing

* sing in the shower or have a calming Lavender bath before each event to center and pamper yourself and get you out of your thought-stream and into your body

That is where your pleasure is, and that is where your power is. Celebrate and acknowledge yourself so you are filled up even before the celebrations begin.

You are so beautiful you don’t even have to be flawless to be perfect. 

Relax. Focus on socializing more than food; mingle, dance, take someone for a walk, play games, look through family albums, tell the children a story, sit on Santa’s lap or hang out near the Mistletoe, and laugh a lot!  Embrace the spirit of the season connecting with friends and family. Hold your intention to focus on what is most meaningful to you about holiday gatherings and enjoy the magic!
