Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier women-focused media platform, dedicated to celebrating the voices, stories, and impact of the Prescott Quad Cities. What began as a lifestyle magazine has evolved into a dynamic, digital-forward brand rooted in storytelling, connection, and community uplift.
We spotlight the women who lead, create, serve, and inspire — entrepreneurs, artists, educators, advocates, and changemakers whose work shapes the place we call home. Through powerful profiles, thoughtful features, and meaningful conversations, we go beyond the surface to share stories that matter.
Today, our storytelling lives across multiple platforms. Through the She Spark Podcast, we amplify real conversations around leadership, purpose, growth, and connection. Through the Prescott Woman Awards, we honor women whose courage, compassion, and contributions make a lasting difference. And through Portraits with Purpose, we combine storytelling and service, using photography to give back and uplift local nonprofits.
More than a magazine, Prescott Woman is a movement — a trusted platform for women’s voices, a connector of community, and a catalyst for positive change. We believe stories have power, visibility creates opportunity, and when women rise, communities thrive.
Join us as we continue to celebrate Prescott — digitally, boldly, and with heart — one story, one spark, and one woman at a time.
Building Relationships, Strengthening Bodies
At SOAR, though, a sense of community “organically happened, where people would introduce themselves to each other.” Whether that’s down to the intimacy of the space, the cozy feeling (SOAR is housed in a log cabin with a fireplace), or the limited class size, she said, “You feel safe to say ‘hello’ to somebody.”
“You know your neighbor,” she added. “People build relationships at the studio.” Their chats become conversations, and those lead to after-class lunches.
“Most of us know each other, and we’re all showing up with the shared goal of moving better and feeling stronger. No matter your level we are able to provide a truly effective workout to everyone by performing movements with intention, following cues and tuning into our bodies.”
Health Food that Tastes Like Indulgence
Tucked in the heart of Prescott Valley, Rafter Eleven is known for its smooth espresso, fine wines, and—surprise!—its dazzling array of gourmet olive oils and balsamic vinegars that can take your healthy cooking to the next level. Every month, food lovers gather around Chef Deb’s demonstration kitchen, where she turns ordinary ingredients into extraordinary meals using Rafter Eleven’s signature oils and vinegars. It’s part show, part tasting party, and part culinary school—right here in your hometown.

Restoring Families, Reclaiming Futures
Since opening its doors in 2007, Prescott Area Shelter Services (PASS) has been a steadfast source of hope for women, families, and veterans facing homelessness in the Quad Cities. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, PASS is dedicated to helping individuals move from crisis to stability—offering not only a safe place to stay, but the resources, compassion, and guidance to rebuild their lives.
Karen J. Keim – 2023

Building a Business, a Life, and a Legacy of Resilience
For Tiffany Bustillos, leadership didn’t begin in a boardroom. It started with long days, longer nights, and a determination to build something better for her family.
As the owner of Prescott House Cleaning, Tiffany’s journey into entrepreneurship is rooted in grit and passion. Just a few years ago, she was balancing a full-time 8-to-5 job while cleaning her church at night and taking on Airbnb clients on weekends. Days off were nonexistent. The pace was relentless, but so was her drive.
Belonging: A Fundamental Human Need and a Key to Prevention
The work of prevention is driven by the desire the protect children, to stop child abuse before it ever happens. But prevention isn’t just about avoiding harm—it’s also about creating the kind of world we want: one in which all children and families are living purposeful, happy lives with hope for the future.
People in our sector are feeling a lot of uncertainty lately. We are unsure how possible changes happening in our country will affect children and families, and how it will impact our work. It’s hard to know what to do with we think systems we’re part of might suddenly change.
Lately I’ve been thinking about how multiple different things can be true at once.
Out of the Classroom and Into the World
Yavapai College EDventures are educational field trips offered through the Lifelong Learning Division on the Prescott campus. Every semester, EDventures offers a wide variety of learning experiences in diverse and spectacular locations throughout Yavapai County and Northern Arizona.

Everywhere we go, we learn about the Arizona pioneer and mining history, which makes our state an incredible place to explore. Find a trip that fits your activity level. Pick a leisurely driving adventure or sign up for a more ambitious hike.
Honoring Your Own Worth
Have you ever wondered how you’d react if someone tried to harm you? Most of us would rather not think about it—and if we did, we might assume we’d scream or run. The truth is, fear can freeze us, and physical strength alone often isn’t enough.
That reality hit home when I joined a two-hour workshop with Scott Shephard, founder of Fundamental Martial Arts (FMA) in Prescott, Arizona. I expected a short lesson in basic self-defense. Instead, it became a powerful wake-up call and, ultimately, a practice that reshaped how I move through the world.
‘There’s No Place Like Home’
Prescott Woman Magazine chatted with Cristina Binkley, the City of Prescott’s Tourism Manager, to find out what makes her enjoy Prescott and everything it offers.
