Model on a mission to empower women

After a successful career as an international model, Perth beauty Elise Carr is embarking on a new mission to teach women how to empower themselves in a masculine-dominated world.

The holistic health coach and Reiki master is the creative mind behind popular blog StellaMuse, which features videos, posts and tips on how women can reawaken their inner goddess, embrace femininity and become healthier on a holistic level.

“I think it’s a real shame that feminism has become a dirty ‘F’ word,” Carr toldAAA .

“Every single person has masculine and feminine energy within them. The issue is we’ve all been so driven and masculine for so long that we need to come back to an equilibrium.”

As a former model with a master’s degree in communications, cultural politics and women’s studies, Carr is certainly no stranger to living a fast-paced lifestyle. Yet she has revealed the first step to unlocking inner femininity is simply to slow down.

“Slowing down is the main thing instead of being forceful and pushing,” Carr explained.

“It could start by setting your morning alarm a bit earlier to slow down the morning routine, instead of frantically running, making a coffee and eating your breakfast in liquid form while you’re stuck in traffic.”

To teach these simple, yet effective, life lessons to Perth women, Carr will be leading free workshop The Divinely Empowered Woman tomorrow at Mind Body Heart in Wembley.

“I have such a drive to want to help other people, it’s this burning desire inside me to actually want to share the story and help inform women,” Carr said.

“I’m no one’s guru, we’re all our own guru. But sometimes we just need someone else to shed the light when we think we’re in darkness.”
