Who we are

Hey loves,

I’m Thera
Iya Ajelu Opayemi | Ifá Priestess & Awo | Shamanic Practitioner of the Indigenous Peoples of North American Beliefs and Traditions | Trained in South American Plant Medicine Practices and Teachings | Sacred Plant Medicine Holder | Cellular Trauma Guide | Hypnotherapist | Reiki Master | Coach | Intuitive & Energy Healer | Medium | Channel
Devoted lover of the self-love journey.

As an initiated Ifá Priestess and Awo — and a lifelong student of Ifá and the spiritual mysteries — I walk the path of ancient wisdom and sacred service. As a Shamanic Practitioner rooted in the beliefs and traditions of the Indigenous peoples of North America, and trained in South American plant medicine practices and teachings, I honour the spirits of the land and the medicines they share, guided by the ancestors and orishas to support profound transformation and collective awakening.

My work is rooted in unconditional love — creating safe, sacred spaces for you to heal, grow, and remember who you truly are. Trained in multiple shamanic lineages, I specialize in Soul Retrieval, Energy Extractions, and COPO practices that restore balance and harmony to the body and spirit.

As a teacher, I share the ancient ways of indigenous frame drumming, sound vibration healing, and the sacred art of connecting with spirit. Through my deep medicine work with hapé and my gifts as a Medium and Channel, I guide journeys of self-discovery, trauma release, and spiritual rebirth.

My mission is to hold a strong, loving container of refuge and safety for all who seek healing — extending my hand in unconditional love and support, in service to each soul’s rising and our collective return to higher consciousness.

Healing doesn’t have to be hard.
Your trauma doesn’t have to run your life.
You are in charge.
You are supported, loved, and unconditionally worthy.

Let’s begin your healing journey together. Join my Soul Tribe — you never have to walk alone.
Shine bright. Say YES to loving yourself.
With love,
Iya Ajelu Opayemi

    In that “Journey” I was exposed to every horrifying thing imaginable and unimaginable, and I could tolerate all of it. I could exist, while staring it all in the face. And none of it affected me in that higher consciousness, in any emotionally unbearable way. It was all completely bearable. I have been terrified my entire life that what exists within my mind and body has the power to suddenly become so unbearable that I will either lose my sanity or die. I got the fucking unimaginable gift of learning that everything inside of me is not only completely bearable but expansive and beautiful and a million things other than terrifying. And that instantaneously made the space for me to fall deeply in love with myself and my life. I am a fucking miracle. Who gets to be that?! So much gratitude is constantly leaking out of my eyes since that trip.

    I am overflowing. The trip increased my window of tolerance exponentially. If I were to distill it into one sentence.

    Working with Thera was a turning point in my life.

    At a time when I felt overwhelmed, fearful, and unsure of my future, she helped me uncover the patterns and beliefs that were keeping me stuck in a victim mindset. Through her unique blend of practical tools, spiritual insight, and deep healing modalities, Thera guided me toward clarity, empowerment, and lasting change. Her holistic approach addressed every layer of my being—mental, emotional, and even cellular. When needed, she connected me with trusted practitioners of other fields, ensuring nothing blocked my growth. Thera’s gentle yet firm presence was exactly what I needed. I’m deeply grateful for the transformation she helped me create, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking real, soul-level healing.

    Since being introduced to Thera, she has held beautiful space for me on this journey of self discovery. Her passion and gifts shine through in such a safe compassionate way. She has guided me through multiple plant medicine ceremonies as I’ve navigated the depths of my soul. Coached me through challenging times of feeling like it’s all coming apart, and gently reminds me this is all happening for me, not to me, and redirects the path of self worth and embodying individual direction and strength. Her fun loving nature, intuitive sense and huge heart, continue to provide support and balance. I highly recommend working with this Queen and all that she has to offer community. Many blessings.

    I was introduced to Thera in June 2025 and attended my first ceremony in August. Since then, my journey has been deeply transformative, in ways I couldn’t imagined. I’ve experienced more peace, a stronger connection to myself, and a deeper awareness of the collective.

    Thera creates a space rooted in honesty, safety, and true connection. She holds space with so much care, allowing you to be vulnerable, face your truth, and reconnect with yourself in a grounded and supported way. You can feel her intention in helping people move through patterns, build self-awareness, and step into a more aligned version of themselves.

    Anyone who works with Thera will leave feeling better about themselves and more connected to the collective. She shows up as a teacher, a student, and a genuine, humble guide. I’m incredibly grateful for her and the work she does. I would definitely recommend attending a workshop, ceremony or simply connecting with Thera and her team if you’re feeling to connect with yourself on a deeper level.
