Journey to the heart of things

I see you.

I do readings: simple, warm and honest. No hocus pocus. Just you and me, heart to heart, looking at things through a broader lens.

Come back to center

We’ve all been taught to look outside ourselves for answers. But at our core, we have everything we need. When we relax, more of our energy flows into the body, and our life feels more like our own.

I help you find and feel your calm.

Trust yourself

We all have “extra” senses to see ourselves and the world around us in real and honest ways. You could say I’ve just put in more hours at the gym so I’m a little more practiced. I can coach you to use your abilities too. Every time we exercise them, we grow.

You are more than you realize.

Connect beyond words

A journey is a trip our consciousness takes. We can travel anywhere with our hearts leading the way. The language spoken is one of frequency.

To me it’s like a conversation with more freedom, an exploration filled with impressions, sensations and emotions that I can feel, see and hear. It really is very natural, because at our core we are all connected.

I am an energy interpreter for you, reflecting back what your heart shows me from a wider scope.

Be seen

When you allow yourself to be seen fully, you find your way back to a truer sense of confidence. Sometimes it’s hard to look at ourselves, and having someone there helps us understand our experiences and have compassion for ourselves and others.

Bring back your curiosity and wonder at life.

Anne (Athena) McGinley

No fluff. No gimmicks.

I don’t do parlor tricks. Or make grand claims about your future or tell you about your famous past lives. I walk alongside you and help you rest in your own calm center.

You are the most important part. Your energy guides the experience. Take what resonates for you and leave the rest.

The messages are practical and clear. Things you’ll use in daily life and relationships, with the occasional deeper pondering thrown in. Not mired in complicated rituals or instructions.

No judgment and no advice. I listen with all my senses and reflect back what you share. You get what you need in the moment.

About me

Some of you know me as Anne, some as Athena. Whichever you call me, I’m your number one fan.

From the get-go, I’ve had an extra-sensory view of the world. Even as a kid, when I wasn’t out climbing a tree, I was chasing answers to the big, important questions. My mom could tell you some funny stories, like the time I formed a neighborhood “think tank” the summer between third and fourth grade to solve the Bermuda Triangle, prove Bigfoot is real and catch the Loch Ness Monster.

Understanding my not-so-“normal” experiences has been my personal quest. From sweat lodges to ashrams in India, from practicing dying with Buddhist lamas to learning to hypnotize myself and others, from rebirthing breath sessions to silent retreats, I’ve followed my curiosity, only to land back in the truest place I know, my own heart.

Clients say

“While inner guidance is of course within, I can easily get lost in my head. Athena confidently holds the space so that I can get in my heart.”

Max M., Atlanta, GA

“Athena’s ability to listen so well makes me feel comforted. … I have recovered my ability to contemplate within, after periods of doubt and confusion.”

Robin B., San Francisco, CA

“She is a grounding force … She takes her work very seriously yet can laugh heartily and put me at ease.”

Sheila, Evanston, IL

“Anne has helped immensely with moving the energy in homes we have sold as developers, as well as with other real estate listings of ours and those of colleagues. On a personal level Anne has a great gift for connection and intuition and I highly recommend her services.”

Sue Segal, Real Estate Agent

In the works: a monthly membership

Heard Animal Journeys

Some of my most profound journeys have been with animals, and I want to share them with you.

Each week I’ll post a new raw, unedited recording, to orcas and owls, seahorses, bears and many more. Once a month, join a live group journey and ask about an animal you’re curious about.

For questions about your own pet, book a single session.

How to book

Tell me a little about what brings you here and which journey you’re curious about. I’ll write back within the next few days with some day and time options. Once we’ve set a time, I’ll email you the payment options. Payment holds your spot and is due when you confirm your booking.

You can also email me at [email protected]. Questions are welcome too.

Good to know

Single Session check-ins: These 20-minute quick check-in calls are optional, so use one if you need it. Sometimes it’s good to have a follow-up to help everything settle in. I just ask that we book that time at the end of our 60-minute session, to talk within the next 10 days over the phone (no recording). I can’t change or rebook check-ins once they’re set because of limits in my schedule.

Cancellations: Please give me 48 hours’ notice at [email protected] to cancel or rebook, so someone else has a chance to take that spot. If you miss that window, you’ll be charged in full for that time, or it counts as one of your series sessions. Emergencies happen, and I’ll always consider them if you reach out an hour before your session’s start time.

Series: A series is for one person only, and sessions within it can’t be transferred to someone else.

Gift certificates: Happy to do them. Just ask.

Your health: Journeys aren’t a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Keep in touch

Leave your name and email and I’ll write now and then, when there’s something worth sharing.
