Who is Bev Janisch?
Welcome, I’m Bev. I’m glad you’re here!
I have a feeling the universe brought us together for a reason.
Are you asking yourself big, honest questions like: Who am I, really? Why can’t I just feel happy when I have so much to be grateful for? What is this life really about? If so, you may be experiencing a deeper kind of inner stress—what I call soul hunger.
As a former nurse turned meditation teacher, mindfulness life coach, Enneagram practitioner, and HeartMath Certified Mentor, I help individuals who feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed—or like something’s missing—rediscover clarity, peace, and authentic happiness.
I know that quiet longing for meaning, connection and vitality—because it was once my own.
My Turning Point
In 2012, I stood on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the highest peaks in the world, feeling a deep sense of soul hunger. On the outside, my life appeared “perfect’, but on the inside, I was deeply disconnected from myself. This profound experience of feeling something vital was missing led me to embark on a journey of self-discovery and reconnection.
Years of living out of alignment with my true needs and values had taken a toll on my health, relationships, and sense of purpose. I realized I had two choices: remain stuck or begin the journey of rediscovering who I was beneath the roles, conditioning and expectations. I chose transformation—and that decision changed everything.
It taught me that we’re not broken—we’re becoming. Soul hunger is often our wisdom’s way of calling us back to ourselves and transforming our confusion into clarity, disconnection into meaningful relationships and feeling stuck into growing into the best version of ourselves.
A Proven Path to Authentic Happiness
Central to my approach is the 4 Keys to Authentic Happiness Framework—a holistic path that blends science and soul, providing individuals who feel lost or disconnected with the tools to rediscover vitality, connection, and purpose.
The 4 Keys Framework emerged from seeing how traditional stress management approaches often fell short by focusing solely on daily stressors and surface-level solutions. By bridging the gap between scientific understanding and soulful wisdom, this innovative approach integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, psychology, emotional resilience and universal spiritual principles with practical mind-body techniques to live happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.
The 4 Keys to unlock authentic happiness
These keys guide you step-by-step from inner stress and soul hunger toward authentic happiness and deeper self-alignment:
Each of these four keys builds upon the others, creating a framework that supports deep personal transformation and authentic happiness. Self-Responsibility lays the foundation. Self-Love nurtures your inner world. Self-Discovery reconnects you with your truth. Self-Expression brings that truth to life.
By integrating these four keys, you move beyond soul hunger and step into a life filled with clarity, connection, and authentic happiness.
Why I Do This Work
I feel called to shine a light on inner stress and the deeper ache of soul hunger and provide hope that there is a proven path and transformative tools that will help. My approach combines nervous system regulation, spiritual insight, and soul-centered coaching—because real transformation honors both science and soul.
I understand how feeling lost, confused and stuck creates cycles that ripple through every aspect of life—our health, relationships, emotions, and sense of purpose. But through my journey and work with hundreds of clients, I’ve discovered something profound: inner stress and soul hunger aren’t just problems to solve—they’re an invitation to deeper self-discovery that leads to authentic happiness.
I’ve witnessed remarkable transformations when people get the tools, insights and support they need: clients finding their authentic voice, healing health challenges and relationships, and discovering the peace that comes from living in alignment with their truest selves.
In 2019, I published Awakening A Woman’s Soul: The Power of Meditation and Mindfulness to Transform Your Life to share these insights more widely. While my book focused on women, my approach has evolved to guide anyone seeking deeper alignment and authentic happiness.
Ready to Begin Your Journey?
Whether you’re feeling lost, stuck, or yearning to reconnect with yourself, my approach meets you where you are, guiding you toward authentic happiness. You deserve to live a vibrant, connected and meaningful life that feels good to your soul. It begins by turning inward—toward the self you’ve always been becoming.
