A Bit More About Me

Bringing ancient wisdom to the modern world.

My name is Déja Chaniah. I am an island gyal born and raised in the US Virgin Islands.

I help high-achieving women embody ancient wisdom thru sensuality, inner child work, movement, & menstrual cycle medicine.

I have traveled the world studying the Afro-Caribbean healing practices of my ancestors alongside Latin American and Southeast Asian philosophies to create a totally unique healing method.

The Beginning…

I began on my journey as a child. As a young girl, I was very in tune to both the spiritual and the natural world. When I wasn’t in school or playing, I was talking to spirits, in-trances, and helping my herbalist grandma in the garden.

I was lucky to have a safe place to explore my gifts during my younger years, something that has empowered me to be confident in my calling later in life.

Then Something Changed…

As I grew up, I began conforming… for a while I succumbed to the programming of the matrix.Straight As, extra-curricular, Ivy League, non-profit work, abs, tight glutes, perfect blowout… To say the least, I knew how to get shit done and look good doing it.

I hid my gifts, chasing the material/academic success that I was told would bring me safety, security, and happiness…

My Intuitive Shamanic Journey

Through all of that, the wildly intuitive woman bubbled underneath. I counseled friends on spiritual matters, experienced prophetic dreams, had trance-like dance experiences, and created potions in my free time.

A breakthrough moment in college cracked me wide open. What I explored as a little girl was simply child’s play. This was my true initiation, I could not run from spirit anymore.

Soon, I began delving into Afro-Caribbean, Latin American, South Asian, West African, Indigenous American traditions.

My studies brought me around the world and back home again, revisiting my roots.

 

Through this, I found myself letting go of my conditioning and coming back to my true nature.

Since then, I’ve worked as a woman and sexuality counselor, mental health specialist, taught at yoga retreats, spoken at universities, and empowered many other humans to reconnect to their ancient wisdom.

I know my purpose, I know my power, and I know my value in this world. I wake up feeling so grateful and aligned with my existence. Most of all, I feel at home in my body, the greatest blessing of my life.

I currently live in an indigenous village in Guatemala.
