My loves — the mirage of love + light healing is something that can no longer support us.

And thankfully, there is another path that is here to hold us as we heal. One that is truthful, integrous & so ancient. One we’re being called to remember.

Let me ask you, what would it be like to be the type of human, healer, leader to walk into the shadows of pain — instead of running away from them or trying to cover them with light? 

Rather than waiting for the next wave of darkness to hit, you yourself became the warrior who walks into it to face it. 

And by walking this brave conquest you actually discover more of your light.

That because you sat at the altar of all your truths — your darkness & your light, you learn how to love the root of the pain.

And because of this you begin to uncover the depths of you, remembering how to embody the purest presence of your soul.

That your chosen healing path elevates you to your highest timeline again & again.

Welcome to the age of shadow work, where Warrior of the Heart is leading the way.

WHAT IS SHADOW WORK.

Shadow work is healing work. But, shadow work is a deeper depth of healing. Why? Because in shadow work we are going to the root of the trauma, the pain, the resistance to hold loving presence & healing space for it. We are consciously choosing to look at your shadow, no longer bypassing it. When you bypass the shadow, darkness & trauma — you allow it to stay in our body & subconscious which is actually causing you more pain. When we hold loving presence & healing space for the shadow, we uproot it & set it free.

We practice our shadow work intentionally & with reverence. We ground ourselves in a pillar of light to illuminate the path.

For we do not go into the darkness to create more darkness — but to shine a light of truth to know, to see, to forgive, to heal, to love.

Shadow work is the doorway to create more light.

For the leader, the healer, the human who is not afraid to go into the dark — is the one who is not afraid of being guided by the light, the one not afraid of living in the light, the one not afraid of becoming that light.

YOU & THIS WORK.

 

This is the type of work that will change the trajectory of your life forever.

It is for the human with an undying devotion to live a wild, free, alive, soul-aligned path.

It’s work that asks you to go all the way down & into the valley floor to then ascend to the highest mountain peak.

This kind of work truly sculpts the ego with the blade of the soul. Carving & refining new boundless edges.

This work asks you to sit at the altar of integrity to realign the pillars of your life so they stack as truth.

Walking this path & emerging from it creates a palpable presence in every room.

It unlocks a power that creates an exhale of peace.

It creates a mind that can stand in any storm of doubt.

This is about uncovering the depths of your truth. What you stand for. The impact you’re here to make.

It’s a life force energy you cultivate that will have you blaze your own unique trail.

To live in a rich soil of depth.

HOW I GUIDE SHADOW WORK.

 

The way I guide shadow work is through the body.

Your body is a living catalogue of your entire life experience. Every moment you have experienced on this earth is present inside your body. All of the joy, celebration, peace. All of the pain, the grief, the fear. Every moment vibrates in all of your cells whether you experience them consciously or not.

Embodiment or body-based healing is one of the most potent modalities to release trauma, heal your body & revitalize your entire system.

Our approach is going down & in first. We create a safer, braver environment to sit with & honor the shadows. We give them a voice, we allow the body to move & express. We then, rise up & out. This is where we forgive, alchemize & transcend this pain into power, into peace.

Other elements that support this embodiment work/body based healing that we use in our shadow work is intention setting, prayer, psychic channeling, altar work & integration practices.

Whether you choose to receive shadow work through group ceremony or 1:1 journey — the way the medicine will be delivered will remain the same . . . through the body.

THE MEDICINE.

 

As a Medicine Woman, shadow work is my bread & butter.

It is something I live & breathe. It’s the medicine that initiated me.

For me, my shadow work journey did not happen by choice — for the first shadow that knocked on my door to begin my life long journey of shadow work was dis-ease.

Dis-ease that impacts the body is one you cannot ignore. The suffering of the physical vessel creates an opportunity for curiosity & surrender if you let it.

After some time of accepting the suffering, I decided this darkness wouldn’t bury me — but shape me. A teacher I knew that would ultimately bring me into the light, but not before walking through its shadow first.

Dis-ease was the first shadow I danced with & was taught through. Since then, over 10 years later, I’ve learned how seek out my shadows.

Sexual trauma. Anti-racism & whiteness. Capitalism & greed. Fear, doubt, scarcity. Heteronormativity. Internalized homophobia. Divorce.

All teachers of darkness that brought me into greater light.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH.

Client love.

  • "Riona creates a container where you feel seen, held & heard. The way she speaks, the way she’s present, the way she shows up allows medicine to truly flow. I feel safe to show up as my full self when working with her. "

    — Dana, Healer & Guide

  • "Riona created the most thoughtful, mindful and intentional space for our ceremony to be held. I appreciated her trauma aware/sensitive approach. I don't use the word Medicine Woman lightly but, Riona truly does hold an intuitive way of guiding the body to help the energy to move up and out of the body allowing for lasting healing to take place."

    — Teresa, Massage Therapist & Reiki Healer

  • "I’ve never experienced something like this before. Warrior of the Heart is truly an energy that is alive & she has woven into every area of my life. The way Riona guides this work is with the most integrity & depth. It is absolutely brilliant. "

    — Grace, Artist & Musician

  • "Riona was the first person who ever truly saw me in the dis-ease I've been journeying with. Before our work together, I was in a very dark space with it all & felt very overwhelmed. When Warrior of the Heart began it was the first time I felt fully seen, heard & loved within the realms of dis-ease. From this space everything changed."
