Our Story

Born from roots that remember

Arawaya was born from a deep listening — to ancestral memory, to the wisdom carried in Puerto Rican and Taíno traditions, and to the quiet voice within every woman who has felt herself standing at the threshold of a new life.

Founded by Stephanie, a bilingual healer, designer, guide and Usui Reiki Level II practitioner, Arawaya creates intentional containers for women ready to shed old identities and step into their fullest becoming.

"The woman in between is not lost. She is the seed, mid-germination — held by the dark, reaching toward light."

Signature Experience

The Woman in Between

You are not who you were. You are not yet who you are becoming. And this place — this sacred in-between — is not a waiting room. It is the ceremony itself.

This is a circle for women in the midst of transition: a divorce, a loss, a career change, a spiritual awakening, an empty nest, a new beginning that doesn't yet have a name. You are held here, exactly as you are.

✦ Areíto Sagrado ✦ Yo soy la mujer entre dos mundos,
raíz profunda, ala abierta.
Lo que fui me enseñó a soltar,
lo que seré me llama hacia el mar.

Vengo del sol, vengo de la tierra,
llevo en la sangre la voz que no muere.
Aquí en el círculo, aquí me encuentro —
la mujer que siempre fui,
regresando.

Usui Reiki · 霊気

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle Japanese practice of channeling universal life energy through light, intentional touch — or with the hands held just above the body — to invite deep rest, release and balance.

The system known as Usui Reiki Ryōhō was developed in Japan in the early 1920s by Mikao Usui, and has been passed from teacher to student ever since. In a session you rest fully clothed while I move through a sequence of hand positions, weaving in singing bowls, chimes and voice. Many people feel warmth, tingling, waves of calm, or simply the deepest rest they've had in a long time.

"At Arawaya, Reiki meets the cosmology of the Taíno — honoring the life force that moves through land, water and ancestors."

The Initiation

A lineage passed hand to hand

Reiki is learned through attunement — an initiation in which a Reiki Master opens the student's energy channel, followed by training and practice. There are three traditional levels.

Level I

Shoden · First Degree

The first attunement. Reiki for oneself and hands-on practice with others.

Level II

Okuden · Second Degree

A deeper attunement and the sacred symbols used to strengthen the practice, support emotional and mental healing, and send Reiki across distance. This is my initiation, which is why I offer both in-person and distance sessions.

Master

Shinpiden · Teacher

The teaching level, carrying the ability to attune and initiate others into the practice.

Reiki and sound healing are complementary practices for relaxation and well-being. They do not diagnose, treat or replace medical or mental-health care.

"The sound healing and somatic work cracked something open in me that therapy couldn't reach. I felt my ancestors standing with me in the room."

— Lucía R., Fort Lauderdale

"Every detail of the ceremony felt intentional and deeply loving. I walked in broken open and walked out whole. This is unlike anything I've ever experienced."

— Carolina V., Boca Raton

"Stephanie holds space unlike anyone I've ever met. You feel both seen and free. The container she creates is sacred — and that word is not one I use lightly."
