Rachael Jayne Groover

Founder & Dean of Education

Rachael Jayne Groover has always had a passion for leadership, cultivating it in herself and in others who are willing to do the inner and outer work required to make their vision a reality.

As an accomplished singer/songwriter from Australia, Rachael Jayne was fascinated with why some performers had an incredible stage presence, while others—who may have been technically brilliant—did not. She also was interested in the process of spiritual awakening and of being more present.

After finishing her full-time singing career performing to a live audience of 40,000 people, she made the leap to live in the USA and become a speaker, teacher, and author. The fundamental aims of all Rachael Jayne’s programs and presentations are to accelerate spiritual awakening, human potential, and raise global consciousness.

She is the creator of the Art of Feminine Presence^® and Art of Masculine Presence™ classes and trainings that are taught worldwide by herself and over 300 certified teachers working with her.

She is the best-selling author of the books Powerful and Feminine and Divine Breadcrumbs.
