Sacred Cacao Ceremony Leader
A couple of years ago, Aphra listed everything she wanted to accomplish before turning 40. The joy she experienced from searching her soul, creating unique experiences, embracing new opportunities, and stepping outside her comfort zone led her to discover her true passion and purpose in life. Aphra states, "I now know that I'm here at this time to help others break through limiting beliefs, let go of whatever is holding them back, and start creating fearlessly."
Aphra's offerings have been shaped by her personal journey and the wisdom of others, drawing from both academic insights and spiritual traditions. This blend of her inquisitive and rebellious nature, her thirst for adventure, her own healing journey, and her desire to assist others when they are ready to do the work has empowered her to offer the life-changing potential of embracing the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Magic.
