LIGHT FOR THE BODY, LANGUAGE FOR THE SOUL.

Rinu is a soul space and candle house holding the remembrance that we are light, wrapped in the story of being human. The name echoes the Yoruba term Ori Inu, pointing to ‘the inner head.’ Jung called this the Self. Others call it consciousness, nature, spirit, or soul.

Just as we study biology to understand the physical body, or psychology to understand the mind, my practice is a devotion to demystifying the energy body. I bring an embodied approach to spirituality for secular and mystical minds alike— one that empowers and contextualizes your uniqueness in this lifetime. While we are all made of the same matter, your aura is as singular as your fingerprint. Together, we translate that invisible blueprint into a clear reflection so you can fully accept yourself, begin honoring your nature instead of resisting it, and draw in the life that is waiting for you.

Human presence reflected in the green. An observation that the boundary we see between ourselves and the world is often a perceptual illusion.

Too often we trade our nature for the human condition, forgetting that an intelligence within us is already designed to lead us to our bloom. Consider us as wildflowers, each coded for unique beauty and medicine, but most of us are taught to be daisies. We spend energy fading our colors and dimming our fragrance, then wonder why life feels like effort instead of ease. By trusting your nature, you not only discover the life that belongs to you, but shape the ecosystem simply by being yourself.

I call this restoring energetic literacy. My role is to provide the language to help you reconnect with your gifts, embody your authenticity, and allow your expression to ripple into collective evolution. In practice, this looks like attuning to your energy through your birth chart and Human Design before we meet. We then explore your aura alongside any questions or themes you bring for deeper understanding.

A diversity of species not in isolation but in company, each flowering while altering the light and soil conditions for others: the earth and air rehearsing evolution through every bloom.

Our greatest work is not in becoming a “better” version of ourselves, but an honest one, clear of distortion and free from conditioning. Some arrive here in seasons of change, others while integrating spiritual awakenings, and many with the simpler desire to understand themselves.

Offerings of personal energy readings, beeswax candles, and long-term guidance serve to keep us connected to natural light. The candles began as a grounding hobby during my own awakening, a way to anchor myself when my head was in the stars. I see them as reminders that light doesn’t always need to be lofty; it can also be imperfect, sitting on your kitchen counter next to yesterday’s coffee mug. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Welcome to a space for conscious unwinding.

The I Ching’s pages articulate the mystical alchemy of human nature, capturing the wisdom that force is the lowest form of effort. The higher work is to let ease do what strain never can.
