Today we’d like to introduce you to Krystia Rae.
Hi Krystia, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
People often ask me how I got here… how I came to create a healing space for others, a sanctuary where people can reconnect with their hearts and their truth. And the honest answer is: I got here the hard way.
My journey has been shaped by deep challenges, the kind that shake your sense of safety, identity, and purpose. In my early 20s, I was in an abusive relationship and relocated across the country, an experience that shattered my world and forced me to see just how fragile life can be. Later, I faced the painful unraveling of an 18-year marriage, followed by a breast cancer diagnosis that tested me physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Each of these moments felt like an ending. But in time, I came to realize they were also beginnings, portals that led me back to myself.
In the aftermath of trauma and heartbreak, I began seeking healing in every way I could. I went on retreats. I sat in workshops. I spent countless quiet moments journaling, meditating, crying, and questioning. And little by little, I found something unexpected: strength. community, and gifts I never knew I had.
Every time I chose to show up for myself, no matter how broken or unsure I felt, I unearthed parts of me that had been hidden, talents I’d never explored, a deep well of compassion, and a calling to help others do the same.
I began to understand something powerful: if we don’t take the time to go within, to know ourselves deeply, our most precious gifts lie dormant. We move through life disconnected from who we really are. But when we make the brave choice to listen—to truly listen—we begin to remember. We begin to heal.
That’s what inspired me to create Lavande Spiritual Wellness. It’s not just a center; it’s a sacred space for people to come home to themselves. Through intentional offerings like intuitive tools, healing gifts, services, workshops, and retreats, Lavande invites people to reconnect with their essence and awaken their unique light.
My path has not been easy, but I wouldn’t trade it. Every challenge has brought me closer to my truth. Every scar has become a symbol of resilience. And every step I’ve taken toward healing has helped me guide others toward theirs.
At Lavande, we believe your magic is already inside of you. Sometimes, all you need is a safe space to remember.
As you know, we’re big fans of Lavande Spiritual Wellness . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At Lavande Spiritual Wellness, we are more than a healing center ; we are a sanctuary for transformation. We guide individuals on a journey back to themselves through a rich blend of offerings, including energy healing, intuitive readings, sacred rituals, ceremonies, workshops, and retreats (local and international). What sets us apart is the depth and diversity of our approach. We bring together skilled facilitators from around the world, blending both Eastern and Western modalities to meet each person exactly where they are. Our work is heart-led and deeply intuitive, focused not just on healing symptoms but on awakening truth, purpose, and soul-aligned living. We create safe, sacred spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to embody their light and bring that light back into the world. That’s what makes Lavande unique….our commitment to love, soul level healing, transformation, heart-centered community, and helping others remember who they truly are.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
Demand is rising for holistic, soul-centered healing; especially energy work, retreats, and experiences that blend Eastern and Western modalities. As people seek deeper emotional connection and purpose, because we truly need it now more than ever, centers like mine creating authentic, transformational journeys are uniquely positioned to thrive. At Lavande, I plan to expand our space by adding a rooftop sanctuary, introducing new immersive experiences, and bringing in more skilled healers and therapists to reach and support a wider, more diverse community.
