We exist to awaken the spark of innate worth and intuitive power in every woman — equipping her to step into a life that feels modern, present, and sacredly her own.
About Us
Co-Founder
Chelsea Henderson
I’m all about helping women design lives and spaces that nurture their spirit. Through conscious design and a holistic lens, I explore how the environments, gatherings, and moments we create can mirror and support our most grounded, authentic selves.
Along my own journey, what finally brought me back home to myself were the sacred feminine practices and rituals—ones I had actually been raised in—that I began to integrate into my daily modern life. Intentionally connecting with likeminded community, meditating, communing regularly with nature, sitting in circle with other women, reclaiming daily rituals, living simply and slowly, and honoring my connection to the divine helped me not only heal—but feel truly alive again. These practices reawakened something ancient and powerful within me: a deep connection to my body, my essence, the sacredness of being a woman, and the power of embodying all of this in a modern existence. And this change has not only occured within me; Abby and I have witnessed many other women creating and experiencing the same for themselves; it is magical!
This is the heart of why we created Modern Sacred: to offer ideas, inspiration, and services that help women to reconnect, to remember their wholeness, and to elevate in their divine femininity. We deeply believe every woman deserves to feel seen, whole, in love with herself, empowered, and supported. We are here to remind you—always—that you matter and you are sacred.

Hello—I’m Abby.
A writer, guide, and space-holder devoted to cocooning women as we reclaim the power of our presence on Earth.
I grew up under the conditioning so many women know: sit down, stay quiet, look pretty. I became a chronic people-pleaser, pouring myself out for everyone — a pattern that pushed me into a burnout so deep it nearly cost me my life. I spent years trying to earn the right to exist.
Everything shifted in 2024 when a small sanctuary called Welcome Goddess opened near my home. Rooted in Mama Gena’s divine feminine work, it invited women back into our bodies, intuition, and inherent worth. I joined a book club for Pussy: A Reclamation—where I met Chelsea—and something ancient began to stir in both of us.
Through book club, Sensual Flow dance, wailing ceremonies, and practices that called me back into presence, I uncovered a deep, sensual, undeniable feminine power—a power the patriarchal world has long feared and suppressed.
This work revealed what had always been true: our world is energetically imbalanced. Masculine productivity is glorified; feminine intuition, rest, and emotional wisdom are dismissed. We live in a culture that is overworked, under-nurtured, and starving for sacred Mothering.
When Welcome Goddess closed its doors, it felt like both an ending and an initiation.
Something had awakened in us—and it needed a new home. So Chelsea and I continued the work by founding Modern Sacred: a sanctuary for women remembering their innate worth, intuitive wisdom, and divine power.
Here, we hold space for women to return to themselves—fully, bravely, sacredly—believing that re-wilding woman is essential to restoring balance, peace, and abundance on Earth.
