Sacred Ceremonial Therapy
A session with me begins with a guided practice to ground us in sacred intention for our work together. Each session unfolds uniquely, drawing on what is most needed in the moment. I may integrate rituals, herbs, ancestors, spirits, the elements of land and water, imagination, play, and even spell-casting.
Through somatic inquiry, mindfulness, radical compassion, and communication with your spirit team, I hold space for your own magic and intuition to come alive. Yes, we address trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment wounds, and more. But on a deeper level, we’re also clearing soul wounds, ancestral curses, ego attachments, and ancient karmic knots.
Therapy as a Present Moment Meditation
I invite you to pause and reconnect inward, gently dropping into your body and exploring the depths beneath the surface.
While the mind is powerful, our work focuses on moving beyond over-analyzing and tapping into the innate wisdom of your body and emotions. Through these sacred pauses, we can fully arrive in the present moment, cultivating integration and sustainable healing.
Testimonials
"Rysse is phenomenal. In our time working together, I've learned and continue to use practices to connect with my breath and body, get clear on my mental and physical needs, and process my anxieties. I feel more capable of taking care of myself because our sessions empower me to advocate and trust myself! Rysse is extremely attentive and knowledgeable about systemic oppression, such as systemic racism, white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy, imperialism, homophobia, and all the ways systemic oppression can harm the body and mind. As a Black Queer 2nd generation Nigerian-American, I never once felt like I had to explain my life. Rysse's ability to create non-judgemental space for me to navigate my emotions has been life-changing. I highly recommend that you seek out Rysse's services!"
"Sacred therapy with Rysse sometimes feels like a psychedelic journey! I close my eyes to go in my body and it feels like we enter a different dimension. She has a loving presence I feel so held by. In our work together I've learned to be more in tune with my body and listen to my intuition. She always asks for my input, if it's ok to go somewhere, constantly checking for consent. This has been refreshing since I have had therapists in the past who have pushed me to go to places I wasn't ready for. With Rysse I have been able to process trauma I have never been able to speak to anyone else at all. I feel lighter and finally able to see clarity on things I never thought I could before. I am so grateful for her guidance and consistency.
"I was completely new to the world of therapy and fortunately Rysse has made this process welcoming, clear and supportive.
Working with Rysse has significantly improved my well-being! In our sessions, I've learned how to look more deeply into myself, something that was initially unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
Rysse provides multiple ways to approach my issues, gives me autonomy, presents me with resources and I come out of each session with more tools to work with.
She's patient, speaks with honesty, listens carefully, free of judgement and with openness and mutual respect. I feel safe and trust her expertise and skill to guide me to better recognize self-love, radiant confidence, and collective care."
