We recently connected with Zoey Chiasson and have shared our conversation below.
Zoey , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?
I began a 6-month journey with Temple of the Feminine, where I learned the power of feminine sexuality and how to reconnect with my body through a deeper, slower, more intuitive path. That experience sparked a full-on mental, physical, and spiritual awakening—and completely rerouted the direction of my life.
Around the same time, I entered a relationship where, for the first time—I wasn’t ashamed of how my feminine body functioned. Then, everything shifted again. The gym I had been working out of collapsed overnight when it was revealed the owner had hidden a camera in the bathroom of what was supposed to be a safe, all-female space.
By divine alignment, I had already been working on my own office space, and the very day the gym shut down, I officially opened my own business: Opulent Healing.
A few months later, I traveled to the UK for a retreat with the same women I had just journeyed with for six weeks—and what unfolded was the climax of my reproductive healing journey. A UTI turned kidney infection landed me in the hospital the moment I returned to the U.S.
As a self-employed mother who had just poured her savings into that trip, I found myself unable to work, on the verge of losing it all—my home, my business, my stability. I couldn’t afford rent and had to move out with my two children, all without a financial safety net.
But even in the depths, I knew I couldn’t default to control. I had to stay in my feminine, as terrifying as that felt—surrendering, trusting, and staying open to receive whatever came next.
And then the tides shifted. My partner made the decision to move six hours to build a life with me. Two massage therapists reached out needing space to rent, which cut my overhead dramatically. My body healed. I was able to return to work full time.
Looking back, I know without a doubt: if I hadn’t done the deep excavation into my feminine sexuality—if I hadn’t learned the nervous system tools to regulate, stay grounded, and remain in a receptive state—I wouldn’t have landed where I am now. Not just with a thriving massage practice, but with a soul-aligned business that helps others transform pain into power through intuituve healing
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hi, I’m the founder of Opulent Healing, a soul-aligned bodywork and energy healing practice that helps women reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their pleasure, and transform pain into power. My journey into this work began during the pandemic, when I was a single mom with a newborn, bartending part-time and searching for a career path that offered not just flexibility and financial stability, but purpose. Massage therapy came to me as a calling—it blended my love of physical connection, healing, and intuitive care. Despite the doubts of others, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be.
Of course, the path wasn’t easy. During school, I went through a high-risk second pregnancy while living in a trailer, working side jobs and raising my kids. But even in the chaos, I found clarity. Massage came naturally to me—my hands understood the body. As I practiced, my intuitive gifts deepened. What started as tarot readings with friends evolved into powerful energy channeling during sessions. I began incorporating Reiki and intuitive touch into my offerings, and I saw how emotional pain, trauma, and disconnection from pleasure were often at the root of people’s physical discomfort.
At the same time, I was on my own deeply personal healing journey. I had lived with undiagnosed reproductive pain for years—recurring infections, discomfort with intimacy, and a growing belief that something was wrong with me. Then one day, in the middle of an emotional breakdown, I channeled the word “tantra.” That moment cracked something open. I discovered a path that helped me reconnect to my body through feminine embodiment, nervous system regulation, and sacred sexuality. I dove into practices that helped me release shame and rebuild safety within my body.
I offer bodywork, intuitive healing sessions, energy work, and feminine embodiment coaching. I work with women who are healing from reproductive issues, sexual trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm. My approach blends nervous system tools, trauma-informed touch, energy clearing, and spiritual guidance to help clients feel safe in their bodies and reconnect to their inner power.
What sets me apart is the lived experience behind my work. I’m not just offering a service, I’ve walked the path. I know what it’s like to rebuild from rock bottom. I know how disorienting it feels to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe. And I also know what it feels like to come home to yourself and thrive. That’s what I offer my clients: a return to safety, a reclamation of pleasure, and the reminder that healing is not only possible—it’s sacred.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
I think about how long I suffered from female reproductive health issues. Honestly, starting from the age of 10. I am definitely not the first to say— what an isolating and lonely journey it is. I can also with confidence express that I am not the only woman to go through this type of pain nor will I be the last. We don’t get to pick the mountains we are meant to climb in this life but we are meant to BE with those challenges. I would never rewrite my story because now I have the opportunity to extend a helping hand with those that struggle just the way I did.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
The biggest lesson I had to unlearn was control—and it wasn’t a graceful process. It was born from survival, from living in a body that felt like it was constantly betraying me. For years, I experienced level-10 pain in my vagina—undiagnosed, chronic, and confusing. It stole my joy, strained my relationships, and made me feel like I couldn’t be present in my own skin.
In an effort to fix it, I clung to control like a lifeline. I micromanaged everything—what I ate, how I moved, what I consumed online. I tried every restrictive diet you can imagine. I overdosed on supplements, tinctures, antibiotics, and protocols. I was constantly doom-scrolling for the next thing that might save me. Everyone said, “You just have to release control.” But I wanted to scream: Do you know how much pain I’m in? Letting go felt impossible. Control felt like the only thing standing between me and complete collapse.
But the truth is, control was suffocating me. It was rooted in fear, in trauma, in my nervous system being stuck in survival mode. And I couldn’t think or force my way out of it, I had to feel my way through. I had to surrender to the unknown. That meant sitting in the discomfort, slowing way down, and letting go of timelines. It meant trusting my body again, even when I didn’t believe it was safe.
It took time. It took shadow work. It took breath and tears and a thousand tiny moments of choosing softness instead of panic. But eventually, something shifted. I realized the pain didn’t own me. It wasn’t me. And slowly, once I stopped trying to outrun it and started listening to it, the pain began to dissolve.
Unlearning control gave me my life back, not just physically, but spiritually. It taught me that true healing happens not in force, but in surrender. Not in fixing, but in feeling. And that lesson continues to guide everything I do in my work today.
