Meet the Team
/I am so delighted to introduce the team of women who will be supporting us at the Laughing Loon Retreat in September.
Kristen Davis - Intuitive Light Infuser and Logistics Muse
Kristen is a moment hunter & sacred navigator, writer and creator who believes in the power of connection, compassion and truth telling. Kristen is an intuitive guide & supporter to women who are living the lives they desire.
She is a lover of details, sarcasm, laughter, reflection and sacred pause. She can often be found reading a book, sipping really good tequila & hanging out near the water.
Jenny Dunham - Heart Space Holder
Bernadette Vaughan - Dream Weaver
Born & bred in Rhode Island, Bernadette enjoys hard rock, smooth whiskey and reruns of Bewitched. She knits or sews or embroiders a little something everyday and feels most like herself when she's making stuff.
She is generally an animal lover but very much dislikes horseshoe crabs. She lives with her dashing husband, who makes her laugh and refers to her as "the Bad Roomate" and a young son , who hangs the stars in her sky and still acknowledges her in public (mostly).
Ruth Clark - Digital Visionary
Ruth Clark is a writer and artist residing in Providence, Rhode Island. Her work is inspired by deep connection, deep honesty, and deep love. (She's a Scorpio, after all.) She's into: being real and writing constantly, full moons and early mornings, wandering the woods and hanging with her siblings, social justice and connected conversation.
Marisa Donlin - Luscious Soul Illuminator
Marisa is an acupuncturist in Massachusetts, nourishing bodies and spirits through the wisdom of Chinese Medicine.
She is a spark holder and witness to transformation and change. She believes in self love, truth telling and divine creativity. She can often be found near the oceans, rivers and lakes, embodying the color orange, laughing till release and and wrangling her two (often pant less) boys. She has a not-so-secret love for all things Eddie Vedder.
Melissa Gaethofs - Vibration Coordinator
Melissa is a florist and collage artist who lives in Rhode Island with her badass husband and two kitties. She is limitless energy, bursting at the seams to be more. She is light and airy, fun and fearless. She is a creator and a doer… always on the move and always looking to create something extraordinary.
She believes in having fun and in belly laughing until we ache… and crying until we don't. And her life begins again every damn day, with every new amazing soul she encounters.
Jamie Luzenski - Goddess of Loving Nourishment
Jamie is a vivacious free spirit on a journey to celebrate the idea that food can be love. She believes that the ocean speaks to her, trees whisper her name and wild things breathe her language.
Jamie is a Southern California native living in the San Diego area with her furchildren: two dogs and two cats. She is most comfortable in flip flops or ugg boots. Jamie is in love with sparkles, amazing food, belly laughs, hugs, and she never met a wine she did not like.
Melissa Mulligan - Soul Song Guide
Melissa is a vocal coach & creativity coach who believes in passionately creating the lives we are meant to live. She is a permission-granter of unbridled dreams and a believer in the healing power of self-expression. Her company, Melissa Mulligan Vocal Studios (MMVS), develops singers, recording artists, songwriters and musical coaches worldwide.
Mindy Scime - Magical Gathering Guru
Mindy is a mindful, badass truth-teller. She lives in Niagara Falls with her husband, two daughters, two cats, and a hedgehog. (All of which have names beginning with M because her family is cheesy like that.) She loves deep breaths, hot tea, and finding beauty inside the hard places.
Mindy believes that every time a woman steps into her truth it changes the world. Through her work as a therapist, yoga teacher, and writer she creates safe, sacred spaces for women to own their truth. When she’s not connecting with her brave tribe of dreamers she can often be found guzzling water, running to Florence and The Machine, and snapping a selfie, all in the name of badass self-care.
