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.”
Every Step Carries a Story: Quad Cities Walk to End Alzheimer’s Returns This September
For many participants, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s begins long before the first step is taken.
It begins with a diagnosis. A parent who starts forgetting familiar names. A spouse who becomes a caregiver. A family remembering someone they have lost. For others, it begins with a desire to support friends, neighbors and the millions of families whose lives have been changed by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, those stories will come together at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Quad Cities at the Prescott Valley Civic Center.

Neighbors Feeding Neighbors
At 10 a.m. each day, the Prescott Meals on Wheels headquarters is a hive of activity. Food’s cooking, volunteers are packaging it up, and drivers are loading their cars to head out for delivery. The sounds of chatting and laughter keep the place abuzz as folks work together to fulfill the Meals on Wheels mission: enabling adults to maintain independence and dignity by delivering community, nourishment, and care.
When Kristy and Dave Marston moved to Prescott in 2003, they needed something to do. Their friends in New Jersey had volunteered for Meals on Wheels and enjoyed it, so the Marstons found the local chapter and signed on.
“At first, we did it because our friends had done it,” Kristy said during a recent interview. Then they realized what a big need the organization fills. “People need to be fed.”
And, the Marstons enjoy it so much, they’ve stayed for more than 20 years.

Striving for Excellence + Making a Positive Impact
Dr. Kelsie Stevens finds her greatest joy in giving patients clear, comfortable vision. Using the latest technology to assist Premier Eye Center patients with vision challenges, Dr. Stevens works with all levels of patients.
During a recent interview, she said, “I specialize in scleral lenses—contact lenses designed for patients who cannot wear normal soft contact lenses.” These lenses, which do not sit fully on the eye, are shaped like a bowl, which vaults over the cornea. She added, “These lenses can give patients great vision when glasses and standard contact lenses can’t.”
Premier Eye Center Office Manager and Co-Owner Tracy Sullivan said, “Dr. Stevens really cares about her patients and about providing the best care for them. She is a joy to work with because of her great personality, high energy, awesome laugh, and her commitment to our patients and the community. She truly has made a positive impact as she strives for excellence in this profession.”
