Ariana Luna (she/hers) ~ Balancing Vibrations
Ariana is a multifaceted healer who has been holding space for others since 2018. While she’s always been intuitive, her deeper spiritual journey began after a significant trauma that left her feeling lost. She discovered Reiki after exhausting multiple other avenues of western healing and it changed her life. Since she completed her Reiki training she’s been offering support for others and learning new tools to expand her knowledge.
Ariana works with those who are in transitions of life, processing grief, remembering how to be in their body or looking to explore what’s possible with curiosity. Ariana guides you through a journey within by offering expansive Breath Work, Sound Healing, Tarot and Reiki with supportive trauma informed care.
Each session is cultivated with the intention for you to let go and be held. Whether you’re seeking to dive deep and release, access stored emotions in your body, relax and find stillness or cultivate a deeper connection to Self, Ariana will be your guide.

Audrey Bristol, LCSW (she/her/hers)
In therapy, people have the opportunity to be their most authentic selves, they get to fully open up about the hardships, life transitions, trauma, about all those irrational thoughts and chaos that they may be living in. I get to be the sounding board; I have the privilege of getting to listen and help sort out how you want your future look. I want to help support you in creating the best version of yourself and then celebrate those successes. I value authenticity, empathy, compassion, and humor. My purpose is that this comes across in my practice, so you feel connected and valued while we work together. I work with teens and young adults, and adults who are facing difficult life transitions, co-occurring mental illness, and low self-esteem or self-worth.

Chelsea saw a need for facilitators, healers and magic makers to be captured in their offerings, because almost always we are too *in it* to remember or think about taking photos. So she reached out to Meghan to pitch and eventually birth the SAKALA CONTENT DAY. A day where we do short stagings of the magic you do to take beautiful photos of you... so you can use it to call in your ideal clients that are craving your special sauce (and grow your impact and take over the world!) and you get to support/model for your other community members and get a taste of each other! *warning: this place may be a hotbed for collaborations*
SIGN UP for our next CONTENT DAY at Sakala on December 9, it will be limited to only 12 facilitators.

Christina Ifurung (she/hers)
Christina Ifurung is the owner of Kapwa Healing. She has a 1:1 sanctuary in Centennial where she holds sacred sessions that include, reiki, chakra assessments, sound healing and mentorship rooted in her ancestry. Kapwa is derived from the Filipinx term “pagkikipagkapwa”coined by Viriligio Enriquez which stands for an inner connectedness and shared self. The idea that when we choose to heal ourselves, we can hold compassion for others going through it as well. Healing runs in her veins as she also has tracked a Babaylan (Filipinx Shaman) bloodline that links to her mother’s side from the northern Ilocos region of the Philippines. Honoring her ancestry is a strong sacred
piece of her practice that she leans into daily and shares with others in her ceremonies in hopes to inspire you to Re-Member your lineage and who you Be.
In the sanctuary, I hold protected space for your body to be in full surrender to allow the medicine of the East to move through you. In our session it will include:
-Chakra Assessment
-Mediation Grounding
-Reiki & Light Language Transmissions
-Sound Healing
-Spiritual Guideship
In each session I will do an energy analysis in all auric fields, provide a written analysis of whatever comes up in and then allow the last portion of the session for processing. A protected private electronic copy will be sent to you with a place for you to also document your own notes and progress. My clients have found this extremely useful as they navigate through building their own awareness in specific patterns, triggers, and themes that occur in their life furthermore enhancing their overall self discovery journey.

This inner calling led me to explore various modalities of holistic practices, including yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, Quantum Touch energy healing, and sound therapy.
Through dedicated self-study, formal training, and transformative personal experiences, I witnessed profound shifts in my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Each modality became a piece of a larger puzzle, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of holistic healing and inner harmony.

Gabriella Espinoza
My name is Gabriella Espinoza and I’m honored to serve the medicine of healing arts to the Earth community. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of ancient traditions and my personal journey of unveiling, I delve into the transformative arts of Vibrational healing, Indigenous/Shamanic traditions, Yoga, and Energy Arts. Amidst the world's stir and sizzle, there is a growing urgency, emphasizing the need to return to healing and renewal. I originally began studying Reiki in 2021 and over the years, I have studied from multiple spiritual teachers and have expanded to an extensive range of what I now call healing arts. After being a licensed yoga practitioner for over 3 years I decided to continue my studies at Naropa University for a double Bachelor's in Yoga and Holistic Psychology with a minor in Psychadelic studies.
✨ It's a responsibility to share my experience and medicine, connecting others with the wisdom of their inner landscape. Helping to facilitate the collective's deep healing, assisting in guiding all beings towards harmony and freedom. Working collaboratively awakens our latent potential within, catalyzing movement toward deep healing and vibrant renewal.✨
Born and raised in Colorado, I am deeply connected to the land and cultures of the region. My heritage includes indigenous roots from the Mestizo, Hopi, and Celtic lineages, as well as maternal ancestry from Puerto Rico. These diverse cultural influences have shaped my worldview and spiritual practices, inspiring me to explore indigenous healing traditions and holistic wellness. Drawing from this rich tapestry of heritage, I am passionate about integrating ancient wisdom with modern healing modalities to support individuals on their journey toward health and compassion. 🪶

My name is Jahala Walker and I am a Denver native, mother, massage therapist, certified full spectrum doula, doula instructor, mentor, and overall healer. I offer services for all individuals and birthing families.
I have worked with children and families since I was a teenager, and I feel I have always been called into the development and healing of others. I’ve taught preschool, been a nanny, a college enrollment advisor, and now massage therapist and birth worker. As I have gathered these different tools, I realized that there was a huge need to bring holistic health and wellness to the forefront of BIPOC communities, which is where much of my work entails.
My time as a doula AND massage therapist has been a truly rewarding experience, as I have had the privilege of building personal and authentic relationships with my clients and families. I enjoy using my knowledge, support, and touch to facilitate comfort in the mind, body, and spirit. I am excited to be pulled in whatever direction is within my purpose around maternal health and overall wellness within the community.

Kimmy Hidalgo
Hi, I’m Kimmy Hidalgo, medicine woman, yogi realtor, and mama to a fiery 6 year old girl. My mission is to channel love and help bring healing to this planet.
My inward, healing journey began when I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. Told it would never be cured, I chose the holistic path of healing. On that path I was shown the beauty of ancient healing wisdom, one that was already within, waiting to be unlocked. This began my journey of my undoing- undoing all that I was told to be and all that I was told to think. Through movement, breathe work (including screaming and singing), meditation, and other holistic medicines, I began to discover my true authentic self, cure myself of Graves’ disease, and love myself fully.
This is why I do what I do now. I love teaching and showing others how to unlock their sacred ancient wisdom, already within, so they too can discover all that they are created to do and be. In my classes and events, I offer many different healing modalities - embodiment movement, yoga, breathe work, shamanic journey, dance, womb blessing, and more.
I am lucky to be a co-creator of Alchemical Couple with my partner Landon. Together we host Tantric Sacred Union and Ecstatic Dance events. I’m also a co-creator of Wild & Free Community with my soul sister Kelsi. We love hosting retreats, workshops, and women’s circles.
I reside in the foothills of Golden and love connecting with nature, whether it be through hiking, getting in the river, or reading a good book on the grass.
If you’ve felt the calling to go deeper into your path of self-discovery, I hope to connect with you at one of my events soon. Lots of love to you all!
Xoxo,
-Kimmy

Rebecca Ballast ~ Soul Blossom
Hi y'all. I'm a Denver native (I actually grew up around the corner from Sakala, and it's one of my favorite parts of practicing at Sakala). I am thrilled to connect with you! Certified as a yoga teacher in 2019 (200-hour), I added Yoga Nidra in 2022 (Nidra I/II, 60-hour), and it's truly my favorite yogic practice. I first found Yoga Nidra in 2008 during college and have struggled to find spaces offering the practice. Gratitude fills me to share the practice within the Sakala community.
Additionally, I've immersed myself in shamanic studies and am a practitioner of Mayan Cosmology and Spirituality with permission and recognition of the Mayans in the high mountains of Guatemala. The beauty lies in the interconnectedness of the two practices and how, through the practice, we foster expanded consciousness and inner peace.
I am excited to offer Yoga Nidra to the Sakala community on the 3rd Thursday of each month. As we come together as a community, we will seek balance for the entire being by integrating the day's Mayan energy, inviting its support for cosmic healing and rejuvenation. The synergy of Yoga Nidra and the practice of Mayan cosmology offers a profound invitation to deep healing. I am super excited to share this transformative fusion with you at Sakala. I can't wait to meet you on the mat!
Rebecca Kastl
I offer energy healings, angel readings, and angel channelings that build on the Spiritually Transformative Experience I underwent in my twenties, which happened while I was working on healing from childhood trauma. In my experience I saw a beautiful light that spoke to me, after which I began seeing light inside everyone, having psychic dreams, viewing alternate timelines of my life, sensing and communicating with angels, and feeling how connected we all are. My experience lasted from age 26-28 and ended with a bright dream of an angel who told me I needed to learn how to swim.
I use what I learned in my STE in all of my healings and readings. My energy healings also build on a foundation of Reiki, which I began studying in 2003 as part of my healing journey. Healings can include chakra clearing, cord cutting, aura balancing, and entity clearing. I use angelic guidance in all of my Reiki sessions, which also include channeled messages from your angels and guides as part of the session. The angel readings I offer come from a place of love and honor for your sacred path and give supportive and healing messages for where you are on your journey. There is also a chance to ask questions in each reading. Because of the high angelic frequencies in my readings, deep healing and emotional release often occurs.
I have a mixed family background that includes a Christian mom, a Jewish Dad, and an Indigenous stepdad from a medicine tradition. My Stepdad helped and guided me during and after my spiritual experiences, teaching me about listening to dreams, connecting with the Great Spirit, honoring the four directions, as well as staying humble. I look forward to holding space for you and your beautiful heart.

Sequoia Sage Garza-Keith
(a 2spirit, your choice of pronouns)
Otitechmocnelilih! I'm Sequoia Safe Garza-Keith. A Xicana Curandera, rooted in native Mexican practice and religion. With a college background in Biochemistry and Healthcare Management, I remain level headed in science while practicing traditions that bring the body & mind into alliance and resolve the spirit's turmoil. Such as Nierika, Yuwipi, Limpias, and Tengdíos. I am now a student of a Lakota Shaman, and have practiced under a Pueblo Shaman with Lakota techniques. While Lakota practice has seemed to find me often, I am tied to Wixárika indigenous practices, by my blood. I work with Death, and am proud to bring grief and transcendence into a state that is no longer feared, but relinquished by honor and love.
In lak'ech hala ken.
