about aria
hi there! i’m aria –
i offer facilitation, healing, and coaching to folks on their journeys of personal transformation and spiritual awakening, including conscious leaders and entrepreneurs with ethical values at the forefront of their work
thanks to many challenging life initiations, here’s how i got here…
• at age four i nearly died from fourth-degree burns when a stove exploded; add in a dose of chronic stress from family conflict and poverty, and parts of me took on the belief that the world was a pretty unfair and unsafe place
• i found some solace in my tiny midwest community by attending an evangelical christian church, but as a young woman i became disillusioned with this religion’s negation of women’s expression
• then, with an atheistic orientation and tons of suppressed trauma, i became an impassioned activist, grieving and angry at the injustices of the world – during this chapter i trauma-bonded with a couple addicts in relationships, which further fueled my victim mindset
• eventually i burned out and recognized i was not aligned with my unique role here and now – i needed a different strategy for my whole life!
• my heartache brought me into deep study of meditation, healing modalities, ceremonial plant medicine work, and ultimately a reunion with Spirit, including the sacred feminine and lineages that anchor my spiritual roots – leading to a fulfilling life that is vividly aligned with who i now know myself to be
• from this alignment, i support others in living their truth through classes & courses, coaching containers & retreats, and custom services for founders & companies
with gratitude, i give credit and appreciation to the many teachers and lineages my work has been influenced by, including:
• therapy and coaching in somatic experiencing tools
• ceremonial arts and ritual from an animistic orientation
• esoteric fern medicine and teachings from the hawaiian mū tradition
• mentorship in the sacred union path teachings through sophia and logos
• sacred connection with ascended masters and angels in the rose lineage and • christ consciousness stream, including mary magdalene, mother mary, yeshua, and egyptian mystery schools
• afro-brazilian umbandaime ceremonies with the orishas of the west african yoruba tradition
• ritual in the celtic lineage with gods, goddesses, the fae, and elementals
• studies in indigenous north and south american shamanism
• practices with vajrayana meditation, tibetan buddhist philosophy, and hindu deities
• ateachings from animal totems, trees, and my own ancestral guides
