Hi, I'm Briaa.
Shamanic Witch, Intuitive Practitioner and founder of Ascending Priestess.
I'm interested in the place where spirituality meets real life.
The choices we make.
The patterns we repeat.
The things we know before we are ready to admit that we know them.
My work brings together intuitive practice, ritual, energy work, sound, herbs and plant medicine to create spaces where you can slow down, listen inward and hear yourself a little more clearly.
I do not believe you need someone else to hand you the answers.
I believe sometimes you just need the right space, the right questions and enough quiet to recognize what has already been asking for your attention.
How I Got Here
I did not arrive here through one training, one awakening or one perfectly linear path.
My relationship with this work has been built slowly.
Through years of intuitive practice, ritual, study, mentorship, motherhood, business, grief, change, questioning what I believed and learning to trust what remained.
I have always been someone who notices what sits underneath the surface.
The shift in a room.
The thing someone is not saying.
The pattern hiding underneath the story.
Over time, spirituality stopped being something I practised separately from my life.
It became part of how I moved through it.
How I made decisions.
How I cared for myself.
How I worked with change.
How I created.
How I listened.
Ascending Priestess grew from there.
Not as a place where I have all the answers, but as a space where we can slow down enough to ask better questions.
I Care Less About Performing Spirituality and More About What You Do With It When You Go Home
I love ritual.
I love tarot, sound, energy work, herbs, ceremony and the ways these practices can help us see ourselves differently.
But the tools are not the point.
The point is what happens when you leave the session.
What do you notice differently?
What boundary becomes clearer?
What conversation do you finally have?
What pattern are you no longer willing to pretend you cannot see?
What choice begins to feel more honest?
This work is not about handing your power over to another person.
It is about strengthening your relationship with your own discernment.
The Heart of My Work
There are four ideas that continue to shape almost everything I create.
Remember
Come back to what you already know.
Beneath the noise, expectation and outside opinions, there is often something in you that has been trying to get your attention for a long time.
Discern
Not every thought is intuition.
Not every fear is a warning.
Not every opportunity is meant for you.
Discernment is learning to recognize the difference.
Trust
Self trust is built through relationship with yourself.
Through listening.
Through making choices.
Through noticing what happens when you honour what you know.
Embody
Insight only goes so far.
Eventually, something has to move into your actual life.
A decision.
A boundary.
A ritual.
A conversation.
A different way of showing up.
That is where the work becomes real.
How I Work
Every person and every session is different.
I do not follow a rigid script or force every experience through the same method.
Depending on what is present, our work may include tarot or oracle, Shamanic Reiki, sound, ritual, conversation, grounding practices, herbs or plant-based support.
Sometimes the work is quiet.
Sometimes it is confronting.
Sometimes it is creative, practical or surprisingly simple.
The tools are chosen in service of what is happening in the room.
They do not lead the work.
You do.
Outside of the Work
I am also a mother, entrepreneur, hairstylist and creative with more ideas than hours in the day.
I love herbs on the counter, good food, music, long conversations, learning something new and getting completely consumed by a creative project.
I love beautiful ritual, but I also believe the sacred can look incredibly ordinary.
Dinner around the kitchen table.
Laughing until your stomach hurts.
Cleaning your space because you cannot think straight.
Going for a walk when your head is loud.
Making tea.
Changing your mind.
Saying no.
Starting again.
My spirituality lives inside my actual life.
That matters to me.
Because I do not want this work to feel like something that only exists inside ceremony.
I want it to be something you can carry with you.
Study, Training and Practice
My work has been shaped through years of personal practice, ongoing study, mentorship and hands-on experience across intuitive arts, ritual, energy work, sound and earth-connected practice.
My studies have included:
Witch School Canada
Cohort 13
2023 to 2024
Sacred Pathways
Shamanic Reiki I and II
Sound Healing
Bio-Tuning
2025 to 2026
I continue to study, practise and deepen my relationship with the work.
I do not see learning as something that ends when a course does.
For me, it is part of the practice.
If Something Here Feels Familiar
You do not need to know exactly what kind of session, circle or experience you need before you begin.
You can simply start with what is present.
A question.
A transition.
A pattern.
A feeling you cannot quite name.
Or the sense that something in your life is asking for your attention.
From there, we can find the doorway that makes the most sense.
