I have always been a very creative old soul, with a soft spot in my heart for the quiet souls of the earth, the critters, the trees, the waters, the sky, and the unseen realms that live just beneath the surface of things. My awareness of something deeper has kept my curiosity, imagination, and sense of wonder alive my entire life.

The forest has been one of my greatest teachers. I walked its winding paths daily during a time of deep grief after my daughter passed unexpectedly. It became the only place where my broken heart could breathe without explanation. The forest held me through my unraveling, and it was on that living soil that I slowly began to feel myself again.

When a little light returned, I wanted to give something back to the place that had held me so generously. Through a series of serendipitous events, I discovered flower fairy dolls, and immediately knew what I was meant to do. I began creating them and leaving them anonymously throughout the forest. People found them, loved them, and began reaching out on my creative Cosmically Earthen Facebook page. Soon, my little fairies traveled all across the world, each one created in honor of my precious daughter.

Over time, I realized they held many more purposes, quiet healing, connection, remembrance, and that I was deeply connected to each one I shaped. The Fae taught me how to listen to subtle realms, and I will share more of that journey in my blog.

As I continued to grow, other gifts and abilities surfaced, sporadic at first, then with more clarity. It took years to find my rhythm and trust the quiet power of my own presence. One thing has always been true: I absolutely love assisting people who are open to discovery… who want to remember who they truly are.

So, here I am, offering the work that grew from a path I never expected, but one I am profoundly grateful for.

I have been attuned to Usui Reiki Master Level (twice), Master Level Shamanic Reiki, and certified as an Angel Card Reader and Crystal Chamber Healing Practitioner. I also received instruction in Charlie Goldsmith’s energetic approach, which refined my sensitivity to subtle electrical currents in the body.

Alongside my energetic training, I hold an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts and am nearing completion of my Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing with a focus on Nonfiction. This work has deepened my devotion to authentic expression, personal truth, and the creation of spaces where people's lived experiences can be honored without distortion. Writing and witnessing have become a natural extension of my spiritual work.

Although I was never formally trained in Light Language, it flows into my drawings, symbols, dolls, and healing sessions as a natural, intuitive transmission from the light beings and angelic presence who walk beside me. My hands have always been little listening antennas, sensing, receiving, shaping energy into form.

A quiet but central part of my work is what I call transfigurative presence, the gentle ability to sit with someone so openly and so clearly that their own light begins to reorganize from within. I don’t guide or direct; I simply hold a field of witnessing where truth can rise on its own.

Everything you find within The Elemental Lantern™, the sessions, the dolls, the Candles, the artwork, the stories, has been shaped by devotion, lived experience, and a sincere desire to offer warmth, support, and clarity. My hope is that this space feels like a soft beam of light in your own journey… a place where your truth is welcome, and your inner flame can breathe.

My intention is simple:
To offer a space of sincerity and gentle illumination,
where story, presence, and soul meet without pressure or expectation.

So, here I am.
With my heart open.
With the Lantern lit.

In Soulful Gratitude,
DeAn’Na
