Professional Bio

Josie M. Rosario is a masterful facilitator of powerful transformations, whose superpower lies in weaving the seen and unseen to help people finally be free.

This skill has been passed down her lineage and sharpened from her lived and professional experiences. As a bilingual and bicultural Black Dominican-American womxn, former family & couples therapist, spiritual medium, and descendant of healers, Josie knows how to trade inherited but outdated ways of thinking and being for an intentionally curated life and legacy.

A proud New York City native, daughter of immigrants and former public school educator, Josie is an award-winning, two-time graduate of Columbia University, having graduated with distinction from its School of Social Work. She's also an alumna of the highly selective Social Work and Diversity Program at the renowned Ackerman Institute for the Family, where she also graduated from its 4-year couples and family therapy certification program.

After years of experiencing the complexities and challenges of the mental health field—as a business strategist for therapists and as a clinician in public agencies and her own successful 6-figure private practice—and realizing that her deepest fulfillment comes from writing and facilitating transformation using a mind-body-spirit approach, Josie made the bold decision to give up her therapy license. This has allowed her to apply her extensive knowledge and skills in more innovative and flexible ways.

Josie captivates audiences with her authentic voice and fearless approach to challenging the status quo. Known as "Josie with the Gems" by her devoted followers, she delivers concise yet profound insights that inspire deep reflection and personal growth. Her work resonates with disruptors committed to breaking generational patterns of suffering and cultivating generational emotional health.

Josie's unique perspective has earned her recognition across major media platforms. She's been featured on HBO, in Well + Good, and on mindbodygreen, as well as numerous top-rated health and wellness podcasts.
