ABOUT
The Creative Healer
Hello and welcome! My name is Calista!
For more than 15 years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside individuals, children, couples and families as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their inner light. My journey as a psychotherapist, spiritual guide, wellness entrepreneur, life and relationship coach has carried me across Asia, Europe, New Zealand, Australia and the U.S., where I’ve supported people from all walks of life in cultivating resilience, healing old wounds, and creating lasting change.
Spirutal Path
Alongside my clinical work, I have been a Consultant/Reader and Teacher of the Akashic Records since 2013. For over a decade, I have served as (and continue to serve as) a Spiritual Teacher, Medicine Woman, and Wisdom Guide. My training includes receiving empowerment in ancient Tibetan wisdom from H.H. Dalai Lama and H.H. Gyalwang Drukpa, and studying the sacred practice of Phowa—guiding beings from life to after-life—under H.E. Ayan Rinpoche. I am also a Certified Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga Teacher, Innerdance Facilitator, and Cacao Ceremonial Facilitator. To further integrate Gestalt and Junagian psychotherapeutic approaches with spiritual wisdom, I am currently deepening my journey through training as a Feeding Your Demons Practitioner under Lama Tsultrim Allione at Tara Mandala.
Safe & Compassionate Space
At the heart of my work is a simple but powerful belief: healing unfolds in safe, compassionate spaces where all parts of you—mind, body, heart, and spirit—are welcomed. I believe that you already have the answers to your questions and the keys to your many doors of wisdom. I believe in each and everyone of you. I believe in us. I believe that we are the ones that we have been waiting for. My role is to hold that sacred space for you with empathy, curiosity, and respect, so you feel truly seen and supported as you grow and evolve to your fullest.
Community Building
Beyond one-to-one sessions, I also lead workshops, retreats, and training programs that spark transformation and community connection. These gatherings are designed to inspire not only personal growth but also collective healing, reminding us that we are never alone in our journeys.
If you’re seeking a therapist, coach, or spiritual guide who will walk beside you with warmth and wisdom, I would be honored to support you. Together, we can uncover what’s holding you back, nurture your strengths, and take meaningful steps toward the life you are meant to live.
