THE LUMINA GUILD
FOUNDERS
Tiffany Carole embodies the integration of scientific rigor, healing wisdom, entrepreneurial innovation, and artful living that the Lumina Guild represents. Her journey stands as a living testament to what becomes possible when one consciously authors their life at the emergent edge.
What makes Tiffany uniquely qualified to lead the Lumina Guild is that she herself represents the beautiful integration of the very audiences the guild serves—the entrepreneur, the healer, the visionary, the lifestyle designer, the financial innovator. She doesn't merely teach these paths; she lives at their intersection.
As a scientist and licensed holistic healthcare provider specializing in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Tiffany has bridged seemingly disparate worlds throughout her career. Her studies encompass naturopathic medicine, various bodywork modalities, and cutting-edge healing techniques that integrate traditional wisdom with contemporary understanding.
For 20 years, she owned and operated a thriving multidisciplinary holistic health clinic outside Seattle, Washington, where she treated thousands of patients while simultaneously teaching at the university level in Chinese medicine. Her innovative healing technique—developed through rigorous experimentation and deep intuitive wisdom—spread organically across the United States, Europe, and Russia, demonstrating her capacity to create methodologies that transcend traditional models.
Tiffany's entrepreneurial spirit emerged early—she launched her first venture at just 10 years old, revealing an innate understanding of value creation that would continue evolving throughout her life. Over decades, she methodically transformed her practice from the conventional fee-for-time model to scalable digital offerings, creating both greater impact and enhanced personal freedom.
This evolution wasn't theoretical—it was lived experience, navigating the very challenges that many guild members face: how to create financial sovereignty while expanding creative impact, how to design a lifestyle aligned with deeper values, and how to build systems that serve both creator and community.
For over 15 years, Tiffany has been consciously crafting her ultimate lifestyle—now living between three different countries with her young daughter and creative musician husband. This lifestyle isn't a luxury addition to her work but an essential expression of her core philosophy: that our lives themselves are our greatest creative works.
As an international teacher, speaker, and published author on topics ranging from holistic health to financial sovereignty, she consistently models what the guild teaches—prioritizing quality of life over quantity of output, embracing Bitcoin and alternative financial approaches, and following personal desire as a compass for authentic service.
What truly distinguishes Tiffany is her relationship with money and service. Unlike many healers who struggle with financial abundance, or entrepreneurs who sacrifice fulfillment for profit, she embodies a rare integration: a savvy and unapologetic lover of money who simultaneously maintains an unwavering commitment to service. She demonstrates daily that financial sovereignty and meaningful contribution are complementary, not contradictory.
Her approach to style and aesthetics further reflects this integration—she brings artfulness not just to her work but to her environment, her appearance, and her overall way of being in the world. This isn't superficial but profound: a recognition that beauty and intentional design are essential expressions of consciousness.
Most importantly, Tiffany has spent more than 30 years creating and facilitating transformational containers—spaces where people can experience profound shifts not through formulas but through conscious engagement with emergence. The Lumina Guild represents the culmination of these decades of experience, integrating her diverse expertise into a comprehensive ecosystem for transformation.
In essence, Tiffany doesn't just teach the art of living at the emergent edge—she embodies it. She practices what she preaches, designing her ultimate lifestyle while serving others, loving money while transforming its meaning, and bringing style and beauty to the revolutionary act of conscious creation.
As co-founder of the Lumina Guild, Hoa Hoang brings complementary perspective and expertise that enhances the guild's capacity to serve its diverse membership. Her background represents a powerful bridge between traditional financial systems and expanded consciousness—embodying the very integration the guild fosters.
Hoa's journey began with a degree in Philosophy and Economics, where Aristotle's concept of Eudaemonia—a well-lived life—ignited her curiosity in designing and experiencing the best version possible in all aspects of life. This foundation in philosophical inquiry combined with economic pragmatism would later prove essential to her unique approach to financial wisdom.
Trained in accountancy, Hoa went on to work for two of the world's largest financial institutions. During this time, she gained extensive practical knowledge of financial systems while simultaneously experiencing what the Lumina Guild calls "the devaluation of meaning"—a profound emptiness where the soul craves purpose beyond material metrics.
This lived experience of the limitations in conventional financial frameworks led Hoa to explore the esoteric realms of universal energy, the Himalayan yogic tradition, and Kundalini yoga. Rather than rejecting her financial expertise, she began an integrative journey, discovering moments where these seemingly opposed worlds—structured finance and expanded consciousness—could meaningfully intertwine.
In these moments of integration, Hoa developed her distinctive approach to artful investment—studying the infinite possibilities within crypto markets and traditional stocks while simultaneously mastering the emotional dimension of investing that conventional finance ignores.
On a journey to become a financial coach and investment advisor, Hoa represents the guild's commitment to financial sovereignty that transcends both conventional money management and purely spiritual approaches to abundance. Her experience allows her to guide members through both the practical mechanics and the consciousness shifts required for true financial transformation.
The turning point in Hoa's journey came when she encountered Tiffany Carole's vision for the Lumina Guild and the Artful Economy. She recognized immediately that a community built on conscious creativity and abundance aligned perfectly with her integrated approach to finance, spirituality, and meaningful living.
What distinguishes Hoa is her remarkable capacity to continually prove herself as someone willing to risk creating something new. While grounded and practical, she simultaneously embodies the awareness that there is so much more to life than what conventional frameworks recognize.
Tiffany describes Hoa as "the most brilliant combination of rational, emotionally rational, and spiritually expanded human I know." This rare integration allows her to communicate complex financial concepts with both intellectual clarity and soulful relevance—making the often intimidating world of investment accessible to guild members from diverse backgrounds.
Her passion for investing is genuinely contagious. Where many see dry numbers and abstract concepts, Hoa perceives living systems and creative possibilities.
"She is a one-of-a-kind addition to the Lumina Guild," Tiffany notes. "It's a great honor that she has joined as co-founder." Together, these two women represent the very integration of seemingly disparate domains that the guild itself fosters—creating a leadership synergy that models the cross-pollination they invite from members.
