The Empowered
Artist Mentorship
Meet Your Mentor!
Meet Theresa!
Self-taught beauty artist. Former mental health professional. Six-figure business owner. Queer Black woman.
I'm the founder of Autumn Artistry and your lead mentor inside The Empowered Artist Mentorship. I built my business from the ground up—no blueprint, no shortcuts—while navigating the real challenges of burnout, boundaries, and building with soul.
With 15+ years of experience in mental health and over a decade in the beauty industry, I mentor from a trauma-informed, culturally aware, and business-savvy lens.
You're not just getting strategy—you're getting guidance from someone who understands the emotional, cultural, and entrepreneurial weight you carry.
I'm here to help you heal your hustle, structure your systems, and lead with ease—without losing your magic along the way.

FROM PAST SUCCESS STORIES
I knew I wasn’t just getting mentorship—I was stepping into a space rooted in authenticity, experience, and real support.
Theresa saw the vision for JAYROOTS Wellness before it was fully formed and guided me every step of the way. She helped me launch my entire brand from scratch—from structuring my offers and refining my messaging to building my Squarespace site, setting up email workflows, and creating visuals that actually reflect my story and purpose. She even helped name my programs and pull together branding that feels like me—not a template.
This isn’t your average “boss babe” coaching. Theresa brings 15+ years of experience in social work and a decade in the beauty industry to her mentorship, and you feel that depth in every session. Her approach is patient but firm, creative but grounded, and always focused on sustainable growth, not burnout.
If you’re a beauty or wellness pro—especially a creative of colour—trying to build something with heart and systems that don’t crumble when life gets lifing, Autumn Artistry Academy is it. I’m walking away with clarity, confidence, and a brand that books.
Forever grateful
- JAY, FOUNDER OF JayRoots Wellness
