ARTIST + GRIEF ALCHEMIST
let go of the lives you could have lived
If youβve been told youβre βtoo muchβ your entire life
β Sit down. We need to talk.
I am a somatic Internal Family Systems practitioner. I can track your nervous system and internal parts with fierce precision β and Iβm an ocean witch who channels through a typewriter.
I have space for that heavy gnarly grief youβve been hiding in your chest. I hold you as you learn to hold yourself.
Emerge from isolation and step into a slow river of sensation.
This is our weekly ritual to untangle the knots in your stomach, clear whatever is festering in your subconscious, and let teardrops fall on journals. Welcome to our village.
β¦ We gather online every Sunday at 4pm PDT.
private mentorship
My sandbox is not for the faint of heart, or those looking for a comfortable sounding board.
The women in my group circles and private mentorships are completely done squeezing through a life that feels too tight for their skin.
Sitting on my decades of training and many lives of experience, I have space for that heavy gnarly grief youβve been hiding in your chest. I hold you as you learn to hold yourself.
Stop trying to strategize your way there. No more breakdowns alone in a dark room with nobody to call.
If you are ready to awaken Mother Self β the unshakable anchor of a woman within you who knows exactly what she needs and refuses to apologize for the space she takes up.
Come play in the deep waters with me.

about cha
Cha first and foremost is a woman of the arts. She infuses creativity, play, beauty, song and expression into everything she touches. An alchemist of grief. Multi-passionate by nature, she walks women back home to themselves, guiding them toward lives that feel more alive, intuitive, embodied, and whole.
She carries the wisdom of an elder, but the aliveness of the maiden. There is something ancient in her presence, yet deeply playful too⦠like sea salt on warm skin, bare feet pressed into sand, laughter rising from somewhere honest in the body. If you were to picture her, you might see her perched on driftwood by the sea, yellow bikini, grounded in her body, soft-hearted yet strong-spined. A woman trying to be fully here. And somehow also carrying the feeling of someone who has lived a thousand lives.
Her work centers around what she calls the Mother Self and the Artist Self. The Mother Self is the energy that awakens when a woman becomes regulated enough to hear herself again, when intuition deepens, the body softens, and the womb becomes a place of wisdom rather than disconnection. The Artist Self is the creative current inside all humans, the part that longs to make, feel, imagine, play, express, and live untamed by performance or perfection.
Cha believes that when the Mother Self and Artist Self begin relating to one another, something profound happens inside a woman. She becomes more full circle in her truths. More rooted. More alive. Less fragmented by survival, expectation, or numbness. Her work is an invitation back into that inner relationship.
This is written by her mentor of the last six years, who has guided her closely through parts work, mindfulness, intuition, and womb-centered healing practices, and has had the rare privilege of witnessing the depth, artistry, tenderness, and transformation she brings into the lives of others.
