FOUNDER | BIBLICAL COUNSELOR & WELLNESS PRACTITIONER

JAIME JACINTO



M.A. Christian Counseling

R.N.H.P.



IBCD Care & Discipleship Training in Biblical Counseling


Jaime is a Christ follower with a Master's in Christian Counseling from Regent University. She is also a Registered Naturopathic Health Practitioner with the International Association of Naturopathic Health Practitioners and has training from the IBCD Care and Discipleship program for Biblical Counseling. She has counseled and discipled many women, and she has a love for serving others, staying active, and healthy living.

After surviving an unexpected ICU hospitalization from Septic Shock and collapsed lungs in 2015, Jaime started on the long process of recovery. During this time she struggled to trust God and had moments where her anxiety was overwhelming, but God and her community kept her going. As Jaime saw how the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of her life were all contributing to her anxiety, health, and joy she wanted to figure out what true Christ-centered healing looked like. Jaime still has limitations due to having Celiac Disease and Chronic Viral Syndrome from EBV, but she sees how important and freeing it is to not find contentment in her circumstances and to be willing to surrender her whole life to God. She believes that daily surrender allows us to become whole in Christ but it takes a willingness, a pursuit of truth in the Bible, and a community to keep you going.

Through her journey, Jaime saw the importance in providing other women a space where they can grow in what it means to persevere for Christ not just in their spiritual walk but mentally and physically. Her desire is not for this ministry to take the place of the local church community, but to connect the extended community of global sisters in Christ, and future sisters in Christ who have yet to be saved and need to hear the Gospel! She desires to counsel and equip women to grow in their faith, heal their bodies and renew their minds so they can live more joy-filled lives for Christ.

Kimberly is a wife, mother, grandmother, and retired entrepreneur along with her husband Michael. She loves working out, getting in the ocean whenever she can, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to glorify God and love on others well. She surrendered her life to Jesus Christ in her early 30’s after being married, becoming a mother to two little girls (Jaime being one of them), going through a divorce, and then getting remarried three years later. Kimberly’s past choices and experiences caused a lot of pain and suffering but she is grateful for the grace of God on her life and the freedom she has found in Him.

She has mentored and counseled many women over the years and God continues to open up spaces where she can be a part of helping women grow in Christ.

ANNA JOY



IG: @joyfilledgrace_

Anna is a writer and poet, at home in the mountains. More than a hobby, her love of nature has always inspired a deeper relationship with the Creator. After many years of fighting constant pain and fatigue, from what seemed an invisible source, she began treatment for Lyme Disease. The years surrounding her treatment were plagued by anxiety, fear, doubt in God, and an utter collapse of her identity.

Through her journey, she discovered her identity in Christ and watches as this knowledge continues to make whole, her mind, body, and spirit. Passionate about seeing her generation experience the same, she has taken to writing as a way to meet her generation where they are at.

Ashton Shaul



IG: @anton_iguess

Ashton is currently a Psychology student at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. She’s expected to graduate with B.A. in the spring of 2021, and will later pursue a Master’s degree in counseling and trauma therapy. Her ultimate career goal is to become a PTSD and trauma counselor for the first responder community. Ashton also loves writing and editing - she recently began editing Christian memoirs and resources online through a freelance writing/editing site, and does that alongside her courses. Her favorite pastimes include spending time in the Idaho wilderness, being around animals, and traveling.

Ashton was not a believer or follower of Jesus before she began classes at the University of Idaho. It wasn’t until her freshman year of college that she got connected with the Resonate Church community in Moscow, where she began attending church regularly, and finally decided to give her life to Christ. Ashton is currently living in a mission-driven community with seven other God-fearing women who push each other towards sanctification every day - quite the journey from being a nonbeliever to committing to living in a ministry house! For the summer of 2019, Ashton decided to follow the Lord to San Diego in a 10 week discipleship and growth program, Elevate, which is put on by the Resonate Church every summer. During this program, she was able to begin interning with Women Becoming Whole. She hopes to move forward by using what she has learned through the Elevate program and her time with Women Becoming Whole to begin pouring into and discipling college-aged women on the University of Idaho campus.

REBECA KING




Website: rebecaking.wordpress.com

Rebeca is a military wife (U.S. Marine Corps) and a stay-at-home mother of two. She graduated with her Bachelor’s degree from Vanguard University in Religion with an emphasis in Intercultural and Urban Studies and a Minor in Music. She has a passion for music/ singing and has been performing from a young age and continues to use her musical gifts wherever God provides an opportunity. She is currently working on writing a devotional, encouraging women (particularly military wives) and mothers to press on and lean into the Lord while they’re husbands are away. Rebeca has served in the church for over 20 years and has had many opportunities to mentor and counsel young women over the years and still has a desire to be used in that capacity in order to point women to Christ. Growing up as a pastor’s kid came with a lot of pressure and responsibility and her family went through a life-altering experience that has helped her reach others in a way that she would not have been able to otherwise. She is blessed to fulfill her calling as a mother during this season of life and desires to continue on her education in the future to become a Marriage and Family Therapist and use that avenue to point others to Gospel-centered living.
