Meet the Founder
Bree Casey
Bree's vision and dream has always been to create a space where women of different shapes, sizes, ages, cultures, and lifestyles could come together in purpose to discover the power of their potential and use it to create in themselves.
In order for this space to exist, Bree knew she needed to share her own experiences of overcoming challenges and pushing herself to the next level. If she could show the strength of her own vulnerability, other women and girls would find their strength too--creating a strong and supportive community of women.
To see women empowHER each other is something special.
Bree created Beautifully EmpowHERed in November 2020 which was an online course for women to learn, listen and connect with other women that were trying to find their purpose. BE has evolved into a non-profit that is dedicated to help all women obtain resources including mental health services and career counseling sessions.
Bree is a dedicated professional working a full time role in Human Resources, working a part time role as a Psychotherapist all while running BE.
