Gacia Tokajian is a Jay Shetty Certified Life and Mindset Coach, as well as a certified Kundalini Reiki Practitioner. With a diverse background spanning the performing arts as a dancer and dance teacher, and later transitioning into classroom teaching, Gacia has always been deeply passionate about growth, learning, and transformation.   Her turning point came during a personal battle with anorexia, a profound experience that prompted her to look inward and explore the deeper layers of her being. It was through this inner exploration that she began to understand the root causes of her emptiness, stuckness, and lack of fulfilment, despite external achievements.   This journey led her to reconnect with herself on a mind, body, and soul level, uncovering the powerful role of thoughts and beliefs in shaping her reality. Today, Gacia supports individuals in doing the same, guiding them to develop awareness of their inner narratives, shift limiting beliefs, and design lives that feel aligned, empowered, and true to who they are at their core.

Beth Levis is the visionary founder of By Beth, a premium bovine collagen brand redefining beauty and wellness from the inside out. With a career spanning retail, manufacturing, and the beauty industry, Beth brings a wealth of experience in product development, consumer insights, and business innovation.   Her journey began in one of Australia’s most iconic fashion houses, the country’s largest clothing manufacturer, where she spent years immersed in design, production, and retail operations. This deep understanding of craftsmanship, quality, and consumer needs laid the foundation for her future in the beauty and wellness space.   Beth’s transition to beauty was deeply personal, shaped by a lifelong struggle with unexplained skin issues. At just six years old, she began experiencing full-body hive-like rashes that flared up daily throughout her childhood. Her early years were spent in and out of doctor’s offices, subjected to countless medications, restrictive diets, and treatments—yet nothing worked. No one had answers. Doctors were simply guessing.   It wasn’t until she worked with a naturopath at 19 that she finally uncovered the powerful link between gut health and skin health—a discovery that changed everything. Years later, after experiencing severe skin dehydration while breastfeeding her four children, Beth once again found that topical skincare offered no real solution. No cream, serum, or treatment could fix what was happening beneath the surface. This sparked a deep dive into nutrition, gut health, and aging, ultimately leading her to develop By Beth—a brand built on the belief that true skin transformation starts from within.   Determined to create a solution that worked from within, Beth launched By Beth, combining the power of pure Australian bovine collagen with native botanicals known for their potent benefits. Her brand is built on the philosophy that true beauty starts beneath the surface—supporting skin, gut, and overall vitality.   Beth’s mission is to empower women, particularly mothers who feel exhausted, frustrated, and disconnected from their youthful glow. Through By Beth, she helps women rebuild their confidence, nourish their skin and bodies, and embrace aging with radiance.   In addition to leading By Beth, Beth hosts the ‘With Beth’ podcast and YouTube channel, where she educates women on a range of health issues. A firm believer that education is the key to taking control of one’s health, she uses these platforms to share expert insights, personal experiences, and practical solutions to help women look and feel their best.   Her expertise and insights have been featured in Marie Claire, The Australian, The Financial Review, Russh Magazine, and Qantas, cementing her reputation as a thought leader in the wellness and beauty space.

I was first introduced to yoga in 2011 through hot yoga 26&2, and I haven’t been able to get it off my mind since. Years later, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, which lit a fire in me that’s led to hosting retreats, photographing women’s gatherings, and traveling the world in service of movement, connection, and creativity. My studies have taken me deep into mobility and the nervous system, intuitive sequencing, flexibility & contortion, inversions, arm balances, and the fundamentals of handstands. I simply teach what I practice, and I love what I do. But my work goes beyond the mat. Whether behind the camera or guiding a circle of women in ceremony, I create spaces where breath, movement, and human connection meet— where sisterhood is medicine, and women remember their power. My devotion remains the same: to keep creating, keep sharing, and keep building community rooted in truth, movement, and prayer.

DO I QUALIFY? Kasturbai L Azcona Movement Instructor & Retreat Photographer I was first introduced to yoga in 2011 through hot yoga 26&2, and I haven’t been able to get it off my mind since. Years later, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, which lit a fire in me that’s led to hosting retreats, photographing women’s gatherings, and traveling the world in service of movement, connection, and creativity. My studies have taken me deep into mobility and the nervous system, intuitive sequencing, flexibility & contortion, inversions, arm balances, and the fundamentals of handstands. I simply teach what I practice, and I love what I do. But my work goes beyond the mat. Whether behind the camera or guiding a circle of women in ceremony, I create spaces where breath, movement, and human connection meet— where sisterhood is medicine, and women remember their power. My devotion remains the same: to keep creating, keep sharing, and keep building community rooted in truth, movement, and prayer.
