from the
FOUNDER AND CEO
Launched in 2017, The KNOW Women began as a way to bring more attention to dynamic women doing remarkable things in the Phoenix metro. We knew there were an outstanding number of women impacting the community and making big strides in their industries. Our goal was to get those women out from behind their computer screens and into the public eye. Thus, we created the KNOW Book, a carefully curated publication that would feature vision-led women in a glamorous and authentic style. As the momentum grew and we recognized the need for more, we launched our Collaborative around the women featured in our KNOW Book. Our mix & mingles soon ensued and we witnessed incredible things happening. We saw our women doing business with each other, creating friendships, supporting each other, collaborating on projects together, and so much more. What started as a fun project to spotlight women, has turned into a full-blown movement. The KNOW Women has expanded beyond its birthplace of Phoenix, Arizona; its aim is to launch in every major city across the United States and Canada.

ABBY MCDONNELL BEER CITY CROSSFIT “The thing women have yet to learn, is nobody gives you power. You just take it.” Hard work has never been an option for Abby. Born into the world of entrepreneurship, she learned the power of working to be good at what she loves at a very early age. With a degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship, she opened her first fitness facility (South Charlotte
CrossFit ‘10). Mirroring the same business model, she decided to open two more gyms: one in Knoxville, TN – Rocky Top CrossFit (now sold) – and one in Asheville – Beer City CrossFit. The facilities strive to improve the lives of its members & give back to the community by hosting events, which raise funds for causes that resonate with each gym. All the while, Abby has been raising a family of her own. Her husband, Jeremy, a full time Asheville firefighter and her partner in crime, as well as her two babes, Kinder (5yo) and Wyatt (3yo), are a huge part of her success.

Dr. Erin Stefanacci is a functional medicine practitioner, a chiropractic physician, and a yoga teacher. She opened Carolina Holistic Health in Asheville’s historic Biltmore Village after relocating to North Carolina for its mountains and outdoor lifestyle. It is here where Dr. Stefanacci looks beyond a patient’s symptoms to find the root cause of their health issues. Even patients who do not show signs of illness work with Dr. Stefanacci to remain in a state of optimal health. Erin has been a chiropractic patient herself since childhood, but it was her career in the pharmaceutical industry that had a profound impact in her pivoting to a holistic path. She received a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic and advanced education in functional medicine. When she’s not seeing patients, you can find her practicing yoga, hiking with her husband and two little dogs or brewing another batch of kombucha.

CASEY KELLY LMT Casey Kelly is a licensed massage therapist with over a decade of experience. As a Division I swimmer at Clemson University, she was able to see first-hand the benefits of utilizing massage therapy. Competitive athletes push their bodies in a way which can lead to muscle fatigue and tension. Casey was able to see the benefit of someone providing specialized and focused relief to her fatigued muscles. She quickly realized she wanted to give others this same relief. This experience helped drive her to attend and graduate from the Southeastern Institute of Neuromuscular Massage to become a massage therapist in 2009. In addition to neuromuscular massage – Casey is a certified Fascial Stretch Therapist.
Casey has lived in Asheville for 5 years with her husband and daughter, Kota. She continues to live an active lifestyle with her family enjoying Crossfit, hiking, mountain biking and of course – swimming.

LAURA CARDWELL SHIFT BRAIN INTEGRATION
When Laura’s daughter was in second grade she was diagnosed with a learning difference. There was no way for her to know that at the time this would change the course of her life. After finding a practitioner who helped her daughter in infinite ways including her emotional stability and her educational confidence, the path was clear for Laura as well. That began a four year intensive training in Energetic Kinesiology and Amen Clinic Brain Health Coaching and in the process taking over a company in Asheville, rebranding to SHiFT and focusing her attention on getting other people trained in these amazing modalities as well. Now with two locations, SHiFT is helping clients get their life in focus, alleviating stress in the neurological systems naturally, and helping families to recover from the physical and emotional effects of ADD, learning differences, anxiety, depression, autoimmune disease, aging, traumatic brain injuries and more.

Nimi came up with the idea of HauteCoton while sitting in a nutrition class about organic farming vs. conventional farming. That’s when she made the connection between food and natural textiles. Not many people realize the textile industry is one of the most toxic industries and one of the biggest polluters of clean water. “It got me thinking...We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, why would I want to lay in synthetic fabrics that are laced with formaldehyde, petroleum and micro plastics every single night? ”
Determined to find a safer alternative to conventional bedding, Nimi travelled to India to research cotton farming and find an organic supplier with sustainable farming practices and fair working conditions. Viewing her products as skincare, HauteCoton is a luxury, home textile company, providing premium organic bedding, duvet covers, crib sheets and pillowcases. HauteCoton will also be producing an eco-luxury line of loungewear and lingerie, coming soon.

Some people are born dreamers and even as a child, Jamie’s passion to push herself was strong. She has always understood the process of achieving goals: being brave enough to dream, setting a clear vision, and putting in the hard work. Like many others, she endured her share of struggles personally and professionally. She took all her experiences, both positive and negative, and pushed herself out of her comfort zone to become the champion of her life in the way she’d dreamed of as a child.
Now, Jamie has dedicated herself to helping others in the same way. She established her life coaching business in early 2018 and has been honored to guide her clients through transformational programs since then. Seeing their progress along the community she’s built in her other business, Sweet Pea Café & Playhouse, has become an exciting light in her life. Jamie is so grateful to her family, friends, and people supporting her dreams and eagerly embraces every connection that happens along the way.

Heather Dorak is the founder and owner of Pilates Platinum. She opened her first studio over 10 years ago and now has 4 studios in the greater Los Angeles area, plus 2 newer locations in San Antonio, Texas. Heather’s love for health and fitness began at the very young age of 3 when she began dancing. She somehow knew that she would move to Los Angeles after attending a dance competition at 16. At 18, she moved from San Antonio to attend UCLA. At 21, Heather sustained an injury while dancing and was recommended she try Pilates for recovery. She saw results so quickly that she decided to become a certified Pilates instructor. Shortly after that opened her first studio. Heather has settled into her life as a busy new mom (with another on the way), a fitness entrepreneur and to share her pilates workout with as many people as possible. In her free time she loves to go for a run, dance, and spend time with friends and family.

Tiffany is on a mission to educate and empower women to have peace of mind in avoiding and handling a physical attack. At 20 years old, she fought off an attacker using the only 3 basic techniques she knew. Her attack lit a fire in her, and she did not stop until she earned her 2 different 2nd degree black belts in street-smart self-defense. Tiffany has been speaking and educating on both the techniques and the mindset of self-defense for over 20 years. She is also determined to keep the community safe in another way. After realizing her attacker was able to enter the home because it was not secured effectively, she became the Vice President of her family’s locksmith and security company, Pop-A-Lock Locksmiths. Tiffany ultimately seeks to give women the tools they need to help protect themselves in the world we live in today. PHOTO CREDIT: IT'S ELIZABETH MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY

Raquel Kahn has had a love affair with dance for as long as she can remember. With a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rice University, Raquel worked in various tech and energy roles. While these 9-5 jobs paid the bills, they never inspired her. So in the beginning of 2017 she decided to leave engineering and pursue a “passion-project;” opening a dance fitness studio. Raquel got into the world of fitness in 2009, but felt that traditional gyms did not serve women particularly well, often making them feel small and uncertain. At the same time, the increasingly popular realm of boutique fitness fell short in fostering inclusivity and sense of community. She built Fit 6-7-8 to bridge this gap, striving to give women a safe place to build both their bodies and their confidence. Raquel takes pride in the supportive and vivacious community created at Fit 6-7-8. PHOTO CREDIT: IT'S ELIZABETH MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY

SANDY SEMBLER INTENTIONAL RELATIONSHIP COACH Another failed relationship and an intense 3-hour intervention led Sandy Sembler to discover why she was repeatedly attracting the same emotionally unavailable men. She was living an extraordinary, prosperous life, yet she was unfulfilled, lonely, and dissatisfied. Toxic childhood patterns led her to approach life with a ‘take no prisoners’ mindset providing great financial and philanthropic success, and preventing a deep, authentic connection with the closest people in her life. By shifting to a new paradigm in her coaching practice, she became a powerful guiding force for women desiring to be feminine, open hearted, and vulnerable. She sought teachers globally and strengthened her intuition through the empowering healing practice of embodiment. This inner soul work allowed her to heal and she recently manifested her warrior-king husband. Sandy’s deepest desire is for each client to intentionally claim their authentic purpose and abundance of self-worth, trust more fully, release baggage from the past, minimize frustrations between men and women, and create the quality relationships so deeply desired.

JUSTINE WELTER OWNER AND INSTRUCTOR JUST26 HOT YOGA + MEDITATION Justine opened her studio with the vision to bring awareness to the mental health benefits of yoga and meditation. It wasn’t until she went through some big life changes that she turned to yoga to address some mental health concerns of her own. Going to yoga, and specifically a style of hot yoga known as Bikram yoga, was an outlet to tune out while letting go of anxiety and stress. This specific style is the same 26 postures each class and as you learn the sequence it becomes a moving meditation, not having to think of what posture is coming next. Although seldom talked about, there are many of us (especially women) who deal with anxiety, stress, depression and past trauma. Justine hopes to bring this conversation to the forefront of her business and help other people who wish to heal. Just26 offers a variety of classes and is inviting to all practitioners. Sweat, connect, have fun and heal!
