What is Authentic Living, LLC?
Authentic Living, LLC is an independent, self-funded research institute dedicated to the archival preservation, study, and publication of Dr. Michelle "Roby" Robichaux’s (AKA: The Dark Fairy Godmother) Yonic Theory approach.
Dr. Roby’s research seeks to uplift and honor the historical practices of female folk and Indigenous healers. Her work explores the profound intersection of feminine wisdom and traditional/folk healing practices on women’s self-actualization process, which she has conceptualized as Anamnesis, or the journey of “coming home to oneself.”
As of 2025, Authentic Living, LLC has shifted from clinical and client-facing practice to focus entirely on academic inquiry; operating as a pure research and thought-leadership entity, the organization exists exclusively as a digital archive, educational lecture platform, and publication house.
The Snake
The healing powers of the feminine
Across time and many cultures, snakes have symbolized the regenerative powers of the psyche and the cyclical nature of the human condition. The Ouroboros, which roots date back to ancient Egypt, is just one example of this image. Furthermore, snakes have long been associated with feminine power. In history and in myths, women like Cleopatra, Medusa, and even Taylor Swift, have all been associated with this mystical and intriguing creature as a symbol of feminine resilience and empowerment.
Thus, the symbol of the snake reminds us that through self-awareness and confronting the death of the "old self," we can shed ourselves of our old "skins", allowing us to heal and transform through embracing our authentic Self.
