Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.

I'm Briaa a Medicine woman. Tarot reader. Energy practitioner. 

Ottawa-based, ancestrally rooted.

Ascending Priestess was formally named in 2021. But the practice it holds began a decade before that. Quietly, personally, without an audience. Ten years of study, ritual, energy medicine, and ancestral work before I ever offered it to anyone else.

I am telling you that because it matters. Not as a credential to perform. As context for what you are actually walking into when you come here.

This work is not new to me. The tools, the listening, the particular quality of attention it takes to sit with someone in what they are actually carrying. I have been building that for a long time in ways that cannot be rushed or replicated.

What I do.

I work with people who are carrying something they cannot quite name. Who have tried the surface level approaches and found them hollow. Who sense there is something deeper available and are ready to stop waiting for permission to access it.

In a Private Sitting we work one-on-one with tarot, intuitive energy work, and whatever the moment is asking for. Not a formula. A genuine meeting with where you are right now and what is ready to move. In The Gatherings we work in a group container. In Immersions we go deeper together over several days.

My approach.

I weave earth-based spiritual practice, plant medicine, ancestral tradition, witchcraft, and the particular intelligence of the body. Not a single modality. Not a formula. A practice that moves with what you actually need. I do not believe in the version of this industry that performs healing rather than facilitates it.

I am not here to fix you. I am here to work alongside what is already in you that knows the way.

Why now.

I spent years doing this work quietly and keeping it close. Partly from my own experience of learning to shrink, of being taught in ways both subtle and direct that taking up space was not safe. Partly nervousness. This practice is personal. Putting it publicly felt exposing in a way that a regular business never would.

What shifted is this: the people who need what I do cannot find me if I am not visible. That felt like a reason to stop being quiet about it. To help, to hold, and to honour you exactly where you are right now.

If you have found your way here I do not think it is an accident. Something in you was looking.

Thank you, Spirit, for leading us to each other.

Now let us begin.

Briaa
