ART IS THE VOICE OF OUR SOUL. OUR ART IS THE MEDICINE WE NEED.
About Charlisa
I’m Charlisa Erickson, a Wellness Alchemist, visual spiritual artist, and certified yoga instructor born and raised in New York City. From an early age, I’ve always felt a deep connection to something greater—Spirit, God, the Universe, Source. This relationship has always felt like magic, and I hold deep reverence for the divine guidance that flows through me.
As a healer, I believe that wisdom is born from our wounds. True healing comes from a continuous process of becoming, not arriving. Like many others on this path, I’ve learned that to support others with integrity and depth, I must constantly engage in my own inner work—illuminating my shadows, studying the ego, and being a clear channel for healing. This commitment to shadow work and self-awareness allows me to hold space for others with authenticity and compassion.
My journey into healing began at 16 when I moved out on my own, navigating traditional success but always feeling called to something deeper. It first blossomed through leading a dance ministry in my Christian upbringing, and although I often felt out of place, art became my sanctuary—a place where I could express my soul.
As I deepened my healing practice, I noticed a lack of spaces for people like me in communities such as Washington Heights and the Bronx. After returning from India and embracing mentorship from my guides and ancestors, I founded Soul Spiral Studio—a sanctuary for healing, creativity, and self-discovery.
Through teaching yoga and Reiki sessions, I realized that what humanity seemed to be missing was not just a connection to the self, but also a compassionate, authentic connection with one another. From this understanding, I began to intuitively create SoulSynergy classes and soul body work—designed to help people cultivate that deeper, soul-level connection with themselves and with others.
At Soul Spiral Studio, I create a safe, intimate space where you can explore your authentic soul expression and heal through yoga, somatic practices, art, and energy work. Whether it’s through our pop-up celebrations, workshops, or retreats, each offering is crafted to nurture the essence of your soul and provide hands-on support as you move through your own journey of self-discovery and healing.
You’re not alone on this path. I’m here to support you, guided by the wisdom of my mentors, the magic of Spirit, and the love that flows through all of us. Together, we’ll create transformative experiences that honor and celebrate your unique journey.
