Hello, dear human!​​

I'm Rysse, like Still I Rise

I am second generation immigrant from Quisqueya.  I come from a lineage of curanderas (healers) and brujas (witches). I am Queer as in lover of all bodies.

I graduated from Naropa University with a Master’s in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology

I integrate Buddhist Psychology, Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Trauma Therapy, and witchy tools to offer a healing process grounded in radical compassion, somatic present moment awareness, and embodied parts work.
