Welcome!
What brought you here is nothing less than extraordinary!
Even if your inclination was curiosity, the state of no coincidence means that you have been searching and the Universe has listened. Chances are, the Universe has placed several situations and events in your life that might have gone unnoticed.
As a result, life continues to shell out red flags (high intensity challenges that require your full attention) that go ignored or repressed. This leads to disease, mental illness, collapse of intimacy and social engagement. This is not a coincidence. Everything — I mean everything — holds a consequence.
I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Phaedra Jade Star, and I believe that the only reason we are challenged in life is to see the truth of what love is and what love is not. That puts us on the Path, the Journey out of the Matrix.
I also believe that those who jump into the arena, to do full battle with their monsters, shadows and demons, to learn, awaken and transform, hold wisdom to give to others.
All Master teachers have personal experiences in pain and suffering to which anyone can relate.
Understand this! Our journey brings us together. That makes it no accident. The Magic of Life is more magnificent than fiction!
I have been a Sex Witch and practitioner since 1994, though I was using healing Magick with my hands on animals as a child to aid them through healing their injuries. Truthfully, I was born a Witch. My mother, however, was not so keen on my abilities calling them demonic. She was a product of a system called “religion” that chastised anything that didn’t meet the model of their god.
Talk about a confusing time!
My father left me when I was a toddler to a mother who was mentally very unstable. She had been sexually abused by her father, and it went unvalidated. She was refused by her mother as a small girl and told she wasn’t wanted. So, she stayed with her grandmother until she got pregnant with me at 14, then she was kicked out of the house to go tough it out. What kind of parent abandons a pregnant native child? A global culture so entrenched in shame!
This was the woman who raised me. She ingested her anger and pain and lived out her rage. I was her first target.
I am a survivor of Shaken Baby Syndrome, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse. My book Falling Upward goes into a lot more detail. It is available here on this website. I endured torturous abuse for 14 years before I courageously contacted the police and requested help. They remove me from my home.
What ensued to follow were years of homelessness and confusion, leading into years of drug and alcohol addiction. I became physically ill and lost the ability to walk without the use of a cane. That really pissed me off! I had been healthy my whole life and was too stubborn to go down like this. So, I was going to have to find the answers myself, since the doctors had no answer.
I had no idea how life worked or why such horrible things were happening to me. I knew in my heart that I was a genuinely good person, and good things were supposed to come to good people. Right? Well, not if you got cockroaches festering in the dark spaces of your mind where you can’t reach.
Sounds dark? Well, think about it. Don’t you feel that creepy, inky something, holding you hostage from your real joy? Have you done self-actualized work and still have that sensation that there is something present that just eludes you? You can’t get past this one thing that you can’t see or touch, but when you flash a light on for a second, you can get a glimpse. These nasty buggers know how to hide and they do it well!
Here’s the thing. Maybe you are doing a lot of work. I’ve done a lot of work. This work that I’m giving you has been manifested from this sacred journey. Thirty years of dance mastery in erotic, sacred dancing, meditation, and certifications out the ass, which would be almost obnoxious to list here, but here are a few:
I am a Certified Reiki Master, Gold Standard Personal Trainer with extended learning in Pilates, Advanced Yoga and Specialty Conditions’ exercise.
I have been a practitioner of Yoga and Meditation since 1995 embracing my mentor, Eckhart Tolle, in 2009 after the tragic loss of my son, which put me on the Path I am today. For this, my child is forever my angel.
My other amazing teachers, who have aided me in my own awareness and awakening, are Ram Dass, Master Charles Cannon, and Red Cloud (who gave me my native name after fasting for 3 days on the mountain). I love them so.
The intensity of my suffering drove me to know freedom. This became my ultimate desire.
My greatest passion is in my dance.
Let me tell you a little story. When I was nine years old, my mother and stepfather bought a house that was so big, I called it a mansion. We were an extremely poor family, so this place was fantastic! When I could, I would sneak upstairs where I had placed my tiny record player and a fat case of vinyl records given to me by an old babysitter that my mother could no longer afford. With a full expression of the Pops Symphony Orchestra playing, I was off and dreaming in action.
I found a long sheer blue curtain and I used that thing for a scarf, a skirt, wings, a place to hide and be reborn. I found a part of me just in moving and dreaming. I had no dance experience, just my little soul aching for a moment without screaming and drama. I found it!
That little piece of heaven put me on the path to know myself as an erotic performer. I was self-taught and had no formal training in dance until I was almost 30. After that, I went crazy, all into my desire, and spent the next 20 years traveling the US learning everything I could about the origin of erotic movement. This led me to juicy, spicy clubs like the Orient, and the Mid and Far East, so sexy and full of shame. Turns out, everywhere I went, there was a cap on how much sexy was appropriate.
It wasn’t until I began doing Sheila Kelley’s work that things really shifted for me. I just thought that the shaming shit was normal. Like it had validity to keep us protected. Nope! I was playing so small because I was terrified of whom or what I would become if I fully embraced my sexiness, not defined by culture. My shadows of inadequacies reared their heads with a ferocity I hadn’t intended. However, my tenacious ass did something about it.
I jumped into Mind Valley University and dove in completing 30 Master Courses in 12 months with 28 certifications. (The only reason I didn’t get the last two was because I was too fried to take another test.) Those courses launched me forward light years, pulling from the wisdom of spiritual teachers like Neale Donald Walsch, Michael Bernard Beckwith, and heart-centered business masterminds like Eric Edmeades and Keith Ferrazzi.
I learned systems like The Silva Mind Method and Hypnosis from Marisa Peer. I leveled up my Tantra work big time with Psalm Isadora and Layla Martin. This led me to the work of legendary Mama Gena (Regena Thomashauer). I continued my work with Byron Katie and Mooji Baba, while diving deeper and deeper into the reservoir of dance movement and the primal power of eroticism. I found a place where I could go, where the “I” as I understood it, took a back seat and opened a space for me to observe an incredibly blissful phenomenon.
This space felt orgasmic! It also held tremendous healing power! Why are women so angry and tied up? They’ve got it bound up in their bodies and no amount of jumping jacks and running or powerlifting are going to do it. What’s needed is this Yin movement, which has been recorded across time in movements and patterns, that opens and clears the energy around you.
My journey through this dance has allowed me to tap into something that feels otherworldly, ecstatic, radiant and sexy! It isn’t about perfection! What’s perfect is a woman loving who she is so deeply that it shows in all areas of her life.
I have created these classes and courses through experience, awareness and wisdom. I have become dedicated to elevating others out of systems for which there seems to be no answer or solution.
This is the very first program of its kind to address healing sexual trauma by going right to the source, using movement, inner work, journaling, touch, shadow work, and other fantastic healing modalities that really work! When your nervous system is highjacked by abusive people, you can work for many years to heal — but, to find your way back home, we must go to the heart.
Healing the heartbreak of our planet starts with you and me!
See you in class!

An Autobiography by Phaedra Jade Star
Growing up in a home fraught with daily maltreatment and molestation Phaedra is a testament to the fortitude, courage and toughness of the human spirit. Having endured abuse from the young age of three through her teenage years she knows what it takes to heal.
As an adult, Phaedra faced ill health from toxic breast implants and the many doctors who told her the situation was hopeless. Phaedra refused to believe her condition was incurable. With hard work, research, intuition, and sheer will, Phaedra found a way. Through her knowledge of body movement, and embracing good nutrition and detox cleansing she healed her body.
Many people often descend into depression and addiction facing these kinds of challenges. Instead, Phaedra has chosen a path of lifetime growth, devouring information on health and well-being, personal improvement, meditation, and mastery of movement and fitness. Her passion is sharing the lessons from her life circumstances she has chosen to embrace, so everyone can benefit.
