The woman behind the magic!

ABOUT   
Earth. Body. Plants. Magic and the strange business of being human.

Kia Ora , I'm Lissa ~ an earth loving, plant obsessed, slightly feral witch living on the wild Coromandel coastline of Aotearoa New Zealand.

 

I’ve walked a pagan path since I was 13, although these days I’m far less interested in labels rules and what witchcraft is supposed to look like. I’m interested in what’s real. The earth beneath our feet. The intelligence of the body. Plants, ritual, old stories, the elements, the seasons and the strange messy experience of being human.

 

My work has grown from all of it.

I’m a Reiki Master, Kanika Bone Release practitioner ~a nervous system repatterning modality integrating bones, breath and belief architecture, space holder, 1:1 breathwork facilitator, plant woman, ritual maker and forever student of the things that make me go oooooh, what the fu.k is that I need to know more.

 

I don't believe I'm here to fix anyone. I think we've done enough treating ourselves like endless bloody self improvement projects. My work is about coming back into relationship with your body, with the earth, with your own knowing and with the parts of yourself that may have gotten buried beneath all the noise of being who you thought you had to be.

 

Outside of all that… I’m a feral, passionate, slightly awkward woman, deeply devoted to the people, animals, places and things I love. I’m a mum, a wife and also a dog mom, a volunteer firefighter of 18 years, an ocean obsessed creature who will happily fling herself into any large body of water and a lover of tattoos, art, old cars, loud music, plants, books and all the strange little things that make life feel more alive.

​

I’m wildly multi-dimensional and forever shifting. Grounded and practical one minute, deep in ritual the next, usually laughing too loud somewhere in between. I love love mythology and anything esoteric, plant medicine, writing my little heart out, getting my hands dirty, conversations that somehow go from completely inappropriate to existential in under three minutes. I swear like an absolute trooper. I question things probably too much. I have a very low tolerance for bullshit. I’m not particularly interested in being easily defined. I’m a whole bloody ecosystem.

 

Despite years walking a spiritual path, I still don't have life neatly figured out. Thank fu.k. I think we're meant to keep changing. To shed. To root deep in the earth. To fu.k things up. To begin again. To remember.

 

My values are still beautifully simple:   Integrity. Loyalty. Freedom. Love.

 

Underneath everything I create is the same invitation - Come back to yourself. Come back to the earth…and see what happens from there. Welcome to my world

Ngā mihi me te aroha nui,
Lissa x

There is a beautiful thing inside you that is thousands of years old. Too old to be captured in poems. Too old to be loved by everyone but loved so very deeply by a chosen few
