About Rachael Jayne
In my teens I dove into psychology, spirituality, and human potential. But I wondered how I’d ever be able to find a secure job that combined these passions? I know . . . I’ll become a Social Worker and save the world! I started to take that route in university, until I kept falling asleep in every lecture. Therefore, I did what any sensible 20-year-old would do . . . I became a singer!
Fortunately, I was pretty good. Once properly trained, I could belt out any songs of my favorite 90’s artists like Melissa Etheridge, Paula Cole, Alanis Morrisette (yes this was the angry woman phase of my life).
Growing up in Melbourne was perfect for me—it’s the music and theatre capital of Australia. During my career I overcame stage-fright and an enormous fear of rejection, became an award-winning vocalist and created performances that transformed the room. My creative entrepreneur journey had begun.
As my desire for teaching within the personal development and leadership field grew, I felt torn between parts of myself—the teacher, the mentor, and the performer. However, there was a common thread that drove me to write the following life purpose statement, which remains true today:
“To move people emotionally so they can feel their deepest longings and greatest potential by being an example of a creative, healthy, radiant, joyful woman with an unwavering commitment to being the best I can be for the world’s future.”
After finishing my full-time singing career performing to a live audience of 40,000 people, I made the leap to move to the USA to work in personal development and leadership. Don’t worry, I found ways to keep my ‘Stage Diva’ alive and well.
I didn’t feel safe in my body to express my feminine power. I kept apologizing for my talents and gifts and stifled my voice. I was always on an emotional rollercoaster as I attempted to grow my career and find the love of my life. This inspired me to create the Art of Feminine Presence® trainings. I wanted to train myself to be magnetic and unshakable no matter what, and I wanted other women to come along for the ride. Going from five women who would gather in my living room to traveling to almost every continent teaching this work is one of my most cherished accomplishments.
My first book, Powerful and Feminine, showed women practical ways to make peace with their feminine hearts and not feel like they had to project a forced sense of confidence or masculine energy to be seen as confident or successful.
Along with the success of Art of Feminine Presence® came a wedding and deep connection with my husband. Hundreds of men started telling me they wanted to learn these practices. They also wanted to get off the mental rollercoaster and truly be at peace while keeping their competitive edge at work.
Our team at The Awakened School® serves anyone who is looking for an elevated conversation on spiritual, personal, and financial awakening and wants to learn a set of practices that can radically change one’s inner and outer world.
This desire led me to significant mystical experiences in my twenties, which inspired many of the 44 practices in the body of work, The UNSHAKABLE ADVANTAGE™.
I’ve been blessed with insights and energetic shifts that have led me to an unshakable inner peace, even through challenges and unexpected loss. My grandest hope is that I can show others the way to a peaceful mind while keeping a fire in their belly for the work they want to do in the world.
I’m an introvert who loves people.
I love all things RUMI.

My husband Datta and I live in the hills outside Loveland, Colorado, with our furry daughters, Sophie (the Rottie) and Maya (the Corgi). With over 300 days of sunshine every year, happy people, and gorgeous views of the Rockies—we love it here.
The retreat center we imagined and created in 2023, Casa Sagrada is in the historic Downtown area. We hope to meet you there one day or in one of the many cities we visit each year.
With love,
Rachael Jayne
