Meredith Rom

Meredith Rom is a yoga teacher, author, priestess and coach who describes herself as a soul guide for women on their path of awakening. She lives with her husband and daughter among the oaks and redwoods of Sonoma County, California, and works with women in the San Francisco Bay Area and around the world, in person and online.

Her yoga classes emphasize biomechanics, alignment and the power of the heart. She invites students to open their hearts, feel their emotions and find alignment in the body, and she believes the body is where we discover intuition and the wisdom that guides the next step on our path. She has also led workshops and classes with harmonium, sound healing and yin yoga.

Meredith is an initiated Priestess of the Magdalene Rose Lineage. She leads the Way of the Priestess, a year-and-a-day initiation and women's circle facilitation training. She says more than one hundred women have walked it with her, following the path set forth by Yeshua, Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary. In her coaching and healing work she uses EFT Tapping and Timeline Healing to reach the subconscious. She also holds space for womb healing, including menstrual and fertility challenges, loss, and birth trauma.

She hosts the Rising Women Leaders podcast, which began more than eleven years ago as conversations about leadership, entrepreneurship and overcoming fear. It has since widened to include faith, spirituality and the priestess path. After a pause of almost four years following the birth of her daughter, she returned to it. Her writing includes the series "Maiden to Mother: Rites + Rituals to Honor the Passage into Motherhood."

By her own account, Meredith's awakening began with debilitating chronic pain, and she found relief by learning to soften and simply be with it. Women's circles became part of her healing. She says she is twelve years into being a self-sustaining entrepreneur, and she is the author of a book.
