Welcome to the Boulder Nova Constellation
An in-person community for accomplished founders, leaders, and culture-shaping creatives who are redefining the rules of success. Members gather two to three times a month for curated in-person experiences and connect with a global virtual community of women and non-binary leaders living with the same depth and intention.
Unlike traditional professional networks built around titles, transactions, and the pressure to perform, Nova is built for the whole woman — her ambition and her wellbeing, her professional goals and her personal growth — where depth is the culture and the relationships that form here turn into referrals, collaborations, clients, and career-defining opportunities.
Because building the right community is the best business strategy.
I walked into a traditional networking event the night before my first Nova event and the anxiety hit me like a wall. But in the Nova, there’s none of that. You just show up as yourself and the connections happen naturally.
Stacy Musgrave, Business Coach
I honestly don’t know that I could have launched my business in this beautifully iterative fashion without my connections at the Nova. The community was a testing ground, a launch pad, and a place where people just kept showing up for me.
Rachel Loewenherz, Star Path Founder
The Nova encapsulates my whole person and all the different parts of myself, which allows me to show up fully. I don’t have to put on a mask or show up as someone specific.
Erin Clifford, Financial Advisor
I knew I needed a community that could help me step into a new level of authenticity and success — a place where I could truly be seen, even in my most vulnerable moments.
Carrie Montgomery, Neurosomatic Leadership Coach
Your Boulder Constellation Leader:
Sue Van Raes
Sue Van Raes, M.S. is a functional nutritionist, food psychology specialist, and wellness expert who is dedicated to helping people who are stressed out about food finally make peace with their plates. After her own lifelong struggle with food and two decades in private practice, she discovered a surprising pathway to food freedom and body compassion. Sue draws on both her personal journey and professional expertise to offer a deeply holistic approach—one that blends body, heart, mind, and soul—to help you stop stressing and start living.
In addition to her work in nutrition and food psychology, Sue is also a certified yoga instructor and seasoned women’s retreat leader. Her embodied, experiential teaching style invites women to reconnect with their intuition, their bodies, and their personal rhythms through movement, community, and immersive healing practices.
Her insights have been featured in People Magazine, The Chopra Center, The Sacred Science, Lululemon, Natural Solutions Magazine, Origin Magazine, Elephant Journal, The Hanuman Festival, and Travel Mag.

“What excites me most about leading within The Nova is how deeply this community honors the whole woman -body, mind, and soul. When we regulate our nervous systems, reclaim our relationship with our bodies, and feel truly supported – we don’t just lead better, we live freer.”

Meet the Leadership Team
Every Nova Constellation is led by a Luminary and supported by a Constellation Council — a small team of committed members who help shape, run, and grow the chapter. These are women who showed up consistently, cared deeply about the quality of the room, and were invited into a greater level of ownership.
The Council is not a committee. It is a leadership opportunity for women who want to build visibility, deepen their impact locally, and play a direct role in shaping what The Nova looks like in their city.
The Boulder Council
Jessie May Kezele
Brand Strategist and the founder of Alchemy & Ash
Jessie May Kezele is a Brand Strategist, community builder, and the founder of Alchemy & Ash — a space for women navigating the identity shifts, unraveling, and awakening that midlife so often brings. With over a decade of experience helping entrepreneurs clarify who they are and build brands that reflect it, Jessie's work has always been less about strategy and more about truth. She has been bringing women into honest, below-the-surface conversation since 2011, and that thread runs through everything she builds.
Jen Fisher
Founder of Vasu Skin Solutions
Jen Fisher is the kind of woman who approaches everything — from a laser treatment to a 20,000-foot summit — with precision, curiosity, and full commitment.
Founder of Vasu Skin Solutions in Boulder, Jen brings a genuinely unusual combination to her work: a B.S. in Biological Sciences, an M.S. in Environmental Science, and a background in nuclear power and environmental compliance, all applied to the art and science of aesthetic medicine. She is a Licensed Aesthetician, Medical Aesthetic Laser/IPL Specialist, and Laser Safety Officer — and the depth of that training shows in how she works with clients. Results-driven and deeply personal at the same time.
She has been part of the Boulder community since 1997, and when she is not in the clinic, you will find her dirt biking, snowboarding, scuba diving, or chasing her next summit.
As a member of the Boulder Constellation, Jen brings exactly the kind of grounded, accomplished, adventure-ready energy that makes this room what it is.
Jami Fassett
Health and Mindset Coach
Jami Fassett spent over 25 years in the same cycle that so many accomplished women know well — starting, stopping, trying again, and wondering why willpower never seemed to be enough. What she discovered on the other side of that loop changed everything, and now she helps other women find their way there too.
As a health and mindset coach, Jami works with women who are done with the on-again, off-again approach and ready for something that actually lasts. Her work is rooted in a simple but paradigm-shifting idea: sustainable change doesn't come from more discipline — it comes from building trust with yourself. She helps women move away from pressure, restriction, and all-or-nothing thinking, and toward a way of living that genuinely fits their lives.
Laura Conley
Life and Weightloss Coach
Laura Conley is a Certified Life and Weight Loss Coach based in Boulder, CO and the founder of The Yummy Mummy Method. Through her signature approach blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and metabolic health, she helps women break free from diet culture and build lasting food freedom. After overcoming her own 20-year struggle with body image and emotional eating, Laura is now passionate about helping others come home to themselves with compassion and confidence.

Why Join the Boulder Nova Constellation?
Our Core Values and What They Mean for You:
- Bold Authenticity: Show up as you actually are and attract the right clients, collaborators, and opportunities — because women who see the real you are the ones who refer you, champion you, and open doors.
- Sacred Rebellion: Build on your own terms inside a community that rejects the patriarchal rules and find that your business grows faster when you stop contorting yourself to fit a model that was never yours.
-
Collective Reclamation: Reclaim your ambition and your wellbeing at the same time — with women who amplify your vision through speaking opportunities, referrals, introductions, and the kind of peer support that actually accelerates what you're building.
- Holistic Success: Grow your revenue, your relationships, and your sense of self, all at once, because the women in this room understand that none of those things are separate.
