Jillian Aurora

Jillian is a women's self worth group facilitator as well as a family mediator who practices in Boise, Idaho. Jillian has 13 years of experience working in the mental health field and has her bachelors in criminal justice, with a minor in psychology. Jillian's primary passion is facilitating support groups and courses to women through her practice at Goddess LLC, where she specializes in empowerment and self-worth. Jillian has served on the Idaho Mediation Association board for three years and has served as the interim Vice President for one year. Jillian is a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, the Idaho State Bar, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and Soroptimist International.

Jillian is a survivor of severe religious trauma, domestic violence, financial abuse, and sexual abuse. Jillian spent over a decade deconstructing the programming that made her vulnerable to repeated relationship abuse and codependent relationships, including 10+ years in AlAnon, counseling, and personal coaching.

Jillian was a "silent sufferer" - meaning she was not an easily identifiable case of domestic violence. As a college graduate and successful refugee specialist/case manager, and married to a detective, Jillian flew under the radar of everyone close to her. No one knew the anger, unpredictability, and danger, erupting at home. After six years of suffering in silence, the danger finally escalated to the intolerable and Jillian broke free. Jillian has since spent years learning, studying, and deconstructing all of the factors that made her so vulnerable to abuse and so willing to stay for more. It is now her life's passion to pass the baton to other women, as they break free and fully embody their own sacred power.

Jillian's style is cerebral, straightforward, and intuitive. As an Atheopagan, Jillian comes from a secular perspective, with a high value for rituals, rites of passage, and spiritual connection with others. Jillian places emphasis on self trust, intuition, personal authority, discernment, and loyalty to personal values and standards. Women who have a history of religious trauma and/or serious people pleasing patterns are an ideal fit for Jillian's work.
