Celestine Mcmahan-Woneis, PhD

Celestine Mcmahan-Woneis, PhD

Board Member

Celestine, aka Dr. C, began her path toward transformative change after navigating severe learning differences and six concussions, which led her into Urban & Regional Planning and Architecture as tools for change. During twenty years as an architect and founder of a 250-person nonprofit, she was diagnosed with breast cancer — a turning point that led her to study alternative approaches to psychological, mental and physical health with leading practitioners around the world. She now brings an integrated, transformational approach gathered from her travels to every corner of the earth.
