About
Babaylan (Filipino Shaman), Psychic Medium, Ceremonial Healer, Healer Activation Coach, Moon Circle Facilitator, and Womb Worker
Iris (she/her) is a Babaylan-inspired healer who is greatly influenced by the healing arts and wisdom of her indigenous Visayan and Tagalog roots. Her current offerings include intuitive readings, working with plant medicines, reiki energy healing, hosting moon circles, facilitating ceremonies, and one-on-one healer activation coaching.
EDUCATION
Before her spiritual awakening in 2017 and even years after, Iris followed a mostly conventional path in terms of her education and career path. Raised in a Catholic household, Iris felt religious pressure to shun her gifts due to the unwelcoming and fear-based ideologies others had regarding spiritual abilities. She graduated in December 2020 with an Associate of Arts in Early Childhood Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Maryland. Upon graduation, Iris entered the workforce as a hospital contractor. She constantly questioned her path and knew that there was much more. She felt a deeper calling.
HOW SHE STARTED
Following what she calls “breadcrumbs from the Universe”, Iris decided to pursue her yoga teacher certification in 2021 and lived at an ashram to dive deeper into her spiritual practice. In 2022 she received two life-changing psychic medium readings by two different psychic mediums, who had both relayed to her Spirit’s invitation to serve humanity as an intuitive healer and shaman. Iris accepted the call and quit her corporate job to dedicate her life to this new path. In 2023 she worked with a mediumship mentor to help her understand the gifts she's had since childhood and master them to be able to help others. Her dedication to her purpose led to the birth of her spiritual business, Laya Kaluluwa, which now allows her to be a clear channel for Spirit in her offerings. She now offers intuitive readings, ceremonial healings, and one-on-one coaching/ mentorship.
CURRENT FOCUS
By no means has this journey been an “easy” feat— though she’s remained dedicated to the inner and outer work required to elevate and continue showing up as a healer. Frustrated by the discrepancies she observed within mainstream spirituality and spiritual groups, Iris is now on a journey of decolonizing her spirituality and reconnecting back to her indigenous roots. She is committed to bridging the gap between what mainstream “new age” spirituality preaches with the Earth-based indigenous ways of being and practices that have been the norm prior to global colonization.
With her business, Laya Kaluluwa, her intentions are to empower others using the tools she wished she had on her journey. Iris wants to help others grow their confidence so that they too can step into their own unique, destined paths. She also has free content available on her Instagram page, her Youtube channel (iris the healer), and her blog on her website.
