My Path

MY PATH

The Full Story

Jungle

I first began my healing Journey after graduating college. I moved to New York City; excited, open, and enthralled by the possibilities of life and the freedom to become whom I pleased after completing the pressured school system of our American culture. I entered this vortex in my life where my two best friends and I began manifesting the exact same life experiences simultaneously; careers, relationships, and friendships. It was as if we were living in the same timeline. The synchronicities were so freaky, specific, and on point! There was no denying our connection to spirit and the magic that unfolds with it. At the same time, I was meditating for two hours a day; having angelic communication, journeys into other worlds, psychic visions, and spirits appearing in my regular life. It was all enthralling, divinely pure, and enlightening to be connected to high-level beings. After college, I chose to not pursue my bachelor’s degree in advertising and instead, begin my dream as an artist. I started my career by hosting my first art show out of my apartment during the Greenpoint Open Studios art tour. 


My art career, combined with my meditations, accelerated everything in the healing world. I could feel this energy coming out of them, making circular motions, and then mentally I would direct it wherever I wanted. My hands would feel like flames. I inquired with Rachel Kirkland and psychic and shamanic healer, who told me to look into Reiki and the healing arts, as this gift was naturally beginning to unveil itself. The Reiki energy only intensified for the months after. I would become so hot, turning into a furnace from the top of my head down through my feet. People who touched me thought I had a fever, but it was the chi energy moving through me. My presence and strong and shifting I would speak of something, and all of a sudden it would appear, like magic! Very witchy ;) All my gifts were coming online. I was totally curious and enthusiastic about it. At the same time, I was clueless about my power and I had no discernment or knowledge beyond the excitement of magical happenings at each and every corner of New York.



At the time I didn't know how to handle all these gifts coming online. I was 23, new to spirituality and self-belief. I decided to take Reiki I & II class. Then I took a psychic and shamanic foundations course. I fell into a relationship that took me for a spin. What do they say? When you are at your highest, something will come in to throw you off, testing your resilience. I didn't know this. After this relationship ended, I spiraled into shock as my rose-colored glasses were shattered by the betrayal and lies of my ex-boyfriend. My world became negative and I continued to manifest, this time in the lower frequency realm, creating experiences filled with hard lessons, darkness, and fear. I didn't realize what happened but I entered my first Dark Night of The Soul.


The Dark Night opened doors to family dynamics, generational healing, and yucky, icky stuff that I had to move through, like walking in thick molasses. I was so vulnerable and weak. My body would absorb everything around me. I could see people's traumas, hear their life stories, and feel all of their pain physically. I had no boundaries. Once I would feel their pain, I would physically transmute it, often burping, throwing up, or experiencing other intense, physical symptoms. The world felt too intense and heavy for me to be living in New York City; a deep reflection of my emotional, mental and physical state and distrust of life.


Shortly after speaking with a therapist, I was connected with a shamanic healer in Mexico. We started talking and doing sessions. I would call once a week and talk to her about everything. It wasn’t long before I chose to disappear from the harsh streets of New York City, which were overwhelming in my current state, and journey to Mexico, the Land of Enchantment. I only planned to visit for one in-person session and travel the rest. She lived in the off-skirts of the world, hidden in the mountains of San Miguel de Allende. It was after one session that it became clear that I needed to stay with her. She taught me how to manage my psychic gifts and be more energetically conscious, practicing boundaries and better reading the world around me from a much, more mature perspective. I learn to manage my sensitivities and questionable psychosis experience with spirituality. She showed me her methods and validated my experiences, which were so necessary for the beginning stages of psychic sensitivities. I had little structure or background in my psychic gifts, so I developed them there, under the guidance of a spiritual mother.


I ended up staying with her and her family for 6 months, apprenticing under her, and becoming one with her family. I learned how she operated her practice, watched her 4-year-old son and mentored her 15-year-old daughter. When I was healed and ready, she sent me on my way back into society. I came back to Austin, Texas, where I went to college, catching a ride up with her client. She was my first Reiki client. I offered her hours of reiki in exchange for a ride-up. She called me after to announce that she could walk without a cane for the first time in years! It was my first physical validation of the powerful effects of reiki!


I was still understanding the power of my gift, so I explored more fields and took more classes. Eventually, I got my Reiki Masters. I completed the advanced training in Psychic and Shamanic Development through my now long-time mentor, Rachel Kirkland. I studied Shamanic Soul Retrieval under the Sandra Ingerman lineage with a woman who studied with Sandra for over 10 years. During this time I continued painting, dancing, singing, and developing all of my creative gifts. Creativity healed me out of the dark night of the soul and allowed me to move through intense emotions and feelings with ease and flow. They gave me a sense of purpose, value, and a deeply profound spiritual connection to my body, mind, and spirit. This is where I began realizing that I am a channeler and it was deeply connected to my art and self-expression as much as my healing. I would channel words, songs, incantations, poems, meditations, dance, paintings, and art pieces. My art was a part of my spiritual gifts and it was all healing me simultaneously, as well as healing others who had similar feelings and pain bodies.


My spiritual gifts came through as telepathy, connection with the human body, and with spirits of the land. I began offering space clearings and land clearings as I was being called to a lot of places that needed assistance in my process of looking for an apartment in Austin. Every place had some weird energy, sensation, or ghost walking among the spaces. It was almost comedic. I did shamanic journeys for myself, completely transforming my lifestyle and subconscious behaviors overnight in one 20-minute session. I started to practice shamanic journeys regularly, and gather relevant information from the spirit realms, including specific herbs or personal information I knew nothing about before I journeyed. I got my Kundalini Teacher certification after practicing it from the beginning of my Dark Night. Kundalini will find you in your darkest moments because it is such a powerful and effective practice for healing your whole body. I used it throughout my healing journey and it provided me with so much insight and significant shifts throughout my journey.


Being a channeler and healing artist transformed me, my art forms, and my perception of life. It freed me from the old hostilities I had towards self-expression, which was built up by the capitalistic structure of the United States. I spent years developing self-trust, self-love, strength, and integrity in my practice. Now it is my time to gift you with these powerfully personal healings. To give you a unique sense of purpose, trust, and artistic passion through deep connections with your heart, your art, and speaking your inner truth. This is my soul purpose.

As an art healer, I am here to guide you on your life path and purpose, support your natural artistic and spiritual gift, and give you a chance to speak your new life into existence!

Word on the Street

Evangelos S.

Mariah is quite a powerful intuitive! I felt gently guided and nurtured during our session. Everything she said resonated and seemed to speak directly to the soul. I feel more empowed than before and have some tools to utilize for my healing process. My journey feels much more clear, thanks to her loving guidance! What a blessing to work with her! Such gratitude.
