The Phoenix ACT

Advocacy, Coaching, Therapy

The Phoenix is a mythical bird that spontaneously combusts and reborn from its ashes. I chose this symbol of perpetual renewal as a representation of my life experience.

I’ve been reborn from the ashes countless times and I found different anchors to ground my resilience. The Phoenix represents resilience, the destruction of what no longer serves us, the opening of a new path, a fresh view, and renewed life.

The Phoenix Creator

My name is Ariane.

I am an anthropologist, writer, peer counselor, and an expert on the Theater of the Oppressed methodology.

I started The Phoenix ACT in 2023 when I was rising from the ashes for the nth time after a period of search for direction to overcome great adversity. I began my training as peer counselor.

Coaching is a subset of teaching. My life experience with hardships, failures, successes, and experimenting with different paths, and wonder gives me a solid foundation to counsel. In my previous incarnation, I was a college professor, a university lecturer, and an adjunct instructor. I had students from all walks of life and often counseled them on their academic trajectory, life course, and personal matters. In addition, As a certified peer counselor, I studied psychology and learned coaching techniques.

In 2000 I began my graduate program in anthropology at the University of California, Irvine focusing on theater, culture, and politics. I trained heavily on Theater of the Oppressed methods, and focus on the transformational non-scripted Rainbow of Desire, or theater therapy

The Phoenix ACT represents rebirth, rising from the ashes, the metaphor for deep transformations, overcoming crises, and new beginnings.

My goal is to guide you to a new life level, to open up potentials within yourself, to bring the freshness of life, to the newness of being.

Each ending signals a new beginning.
