Hola hola, hello and welcome, bienvenida!
My name is Risa, given by my mom who held the intention of being surrounded by laughter when naming me. A spirit gifted surname, Ix (pronounced eeshh), denotes the feminine in Mayan and honors one of my most potent guides, Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of the rainbow, the moon and fertility.
I’m a multi-faceted creative, intuitive medium, astrologer and medicine woman. My spirit is intimately woven with the natural world; flora, fauna, stars and wild spaces are my family and I work deeply within the underworld, Xibalba, illuminating and assisting others in the transformation of their subconscious realms, often through shadow work.
I’ve invested the last 15 years into the study and practice of energy work, shamanic states, grid work, natural medicine, indigenous wisdom, practices and ceremonial work as paths to healing both myself and holding space for others on their own path. I am passionate about working with fellow highly sensitive people and those going through awakenings, initiations, as a means to support their embodiment of organic coding. I am strongly allied with sovereignty and honoring each beings individual journey to organic, blissfully liberated and embodied creation. I love to empower those that cross my path, share the tools I’ve gathered and aid in remembrance.
HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER?
NEW OFFERING!
Join me as we honor, celebrate and learn about Venus and her cosmic dance with the Sun. Together we gather on April 13th as Venus goes direct in learning about her cycle, archetypes, astrological domains, cultural influences and how to work with her energy as she begins her new cycle as the Morning Star.
Life is a bit of an adventure weaving through the many betwixt periods in a seemingly constant process of death and rebirth regardless of how much “time” each cycle “takes”. Spirit coaching sessions are intended to support you through transformative periods, helping illuminate and clear blockages which may be manifesting as confusion, doubt, low energy, lack of direction, physical pain, mental strife or a myriad of other “keys”. If not tended to, our auric field is cloudy and it can be challenging to tread through the underworld and harvest all the gems that are waiting for us to utilize them. As an intuitive medium and a Reflector in the realm of human design, I have the ability to sense what’s out of harmony and how to help shift your field back into balance.
Astrology is the ancient language of listening to the movements of the heavens and how those energies influence our lives here on Earth. Royalty has always had an astrologer on staff to advise them in making decisions and governments today do as well though it’s not well publicized. Working with the planetary energies which are in constant movement can help to understand and harness the energies at play as well as project the perfect timing to launch a project, business, a marriage or other form of union. They can also help advise us of what to be aware of so we may prepare for more challenging periods -in some cases - Uranus is nearly always a surprise!
Prana, Chi, Source energy, God are all names for the life force energy that exists within all living beings. When we have blockages in our energy bodies, these can manifest as feeling low energy, experiencing physical illness, mental stress, anxiety, depression, deep confusion or a myriad of other “symptoms”. Much of modern society is operating in a dissociative state not tending to their physical body in healthy way, never mind bringing awareness to their subtle (energy) bodies from which the physical is then densified. We are meant to be breathed, our energy to flow in a harmonious manner weaving with the plasma, the void, the potential that lies within the life force all around us. Energy healing sessions aid in cleansing and clearing stagnant energy while relaxing the mind, revitalizing the auric and physical field creating space for functional flow and clarity.
My specialty is in embodiment portraits and ritual / ceremonial photography, often shot in natural spaces using only ambient lighting and in moments, a reflector. Art therapy is a powerful tool to aid in the expression of how we embody our spirit. As one client shared, “She wanted photos of how she truly felt on the inside so she could physically see and ground deeper into it.” When I was recovering from Leukemia in my early 20’s, my camera and makeup guided me through that existential crisis and literally aided in self reflection all while helping transmute an incredible amount of personal and ancestral pain. As an energy worker, those that find themselves in front of my lens often find our sessions unexpectedly therapeutic and cathartic.
Send me a message to book a photography session. Rates vary pending the project
Earth Medicine is an intensive journey into the natural world that flows in an organic way, guided by what each individual needs. My intentions are to help foster your relationship with all sentient beings in your life, help you to activate dormant DNA through the learning and practice of ancient ways of listening, sensing, and honoring the natural, organic world, along with guide you into new practices and introduce you to new tools to facilitate an expansive, organic support system for your life. You will be introduced to new plant allies, and likely some you already know while engaging in activities and practices to foster an intentional relationship with these beings and most importantly, yourself. They will teach you how to engage and work with your subtle bodies. Igniting your intuitive processes, you will be encouraged to honor and follow the nudges you receive.
