I know what it feels like to rebuild from rock bottom with nothing but faith and a flicker of vision. For years, I wore the masks — the strong one, the good girl, the one who held it all together. But behind them? I was exhausted, disconnected from myself, and buried beneath everyone else’s expectations.

Today, I walk alongside purpose-filled single moms as they reclaim their identity, reconnect with their truth, and rise into the next chapter of their lives — not from striving, but from deep self-trust. My work weaves together somatic healing, emotional clarity, and identity reclamation to help you build a life that reflects who you truly are.

Life coach for creatives, single moms, and female entrepreneurs

Aelsa Woods

As the contracted general manager of two central Illinois orchestras (one community orchestra and one youth orchestra), with a decade of experience in the nonprofits and music marketing field, I'm a multi-passionate creative with a heart for the underdog.

In addition to my consulting work, I also work full-time managing the marketing department at central Illinois' largest and oldest music store chain. At home, I'm a proud mother to a darling and adventurous three year old, delightfully married to my life's love, and blessed to be surrounded by a community of female entrepreneurs and business owners who have become my closest friends.
