Aura Ortiz

Hello beautiful souls! 👁️ I am Aura, also known as Arachnid! I’m a holistic practitioner, energy worker, music producer & DJ dedicated to helping others alchemize their physical pain, find inner healing & reconnect with their own wisdom🧘‍♀️ My journey began in 2017 & since then I’ve immersed myself in a wide range of healing arts, including licensed massage therapy, Reiki Master & Teacher training, sound healing, meditation, yoga, Ayurvedic therapy, tarot, astrology & psychic advising. I also specialize in chakra balancing & facilitating transformative workshops that weave together movement, energy work, activation & intuitive guidance. With history of shamanic apprenticeship & ceremonial work, I work with plant medicines, holding space for intentional healing that expand the collective consciousness🧿 My work extends beyond the spiritual realm into nonprofit harm reduction, where I have helped provide education on substance safety, overdose response, & consent practices to create safer, more informed communities 💜 I also served as a Communications Intern for the Chacruna Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to decolonizing plant medicine & uplifting Indigenous wisdom. My mission is to help create sacred spaces that honor lineage, reciprocity & integrity by ensuring these powerful medicines are approached with respect & responsibility 🌿 As Arachnid, I also express art through sound by producing & performing music that brings light to the ceremony that is the dance floor! Embodying the same intention of transformation & connection that flows through all my work. Whether I’m behind the decks or holding sacred space, my purpose is the same: to help others remember their power, their voice & their rhythm 🎶 Through my offerings my mission is to support your journey toward self discovery, alignment, & empowerment in both your light & your shadow. 🌱 I invite you to step into your healing, embrace yourself wholeheartedly & cocreate sacred spaces where we can grow, dance & transform together. ✨ Let’s connect, heal & expand ✨ Photo Creds: @merit.namu 🫶

Okay, I’m about to get sappy✨ I genuinely feel like crying when I think about the totality of this past year — all the phases, emotions and growth it carried. Last year, my word was metamorphosis. This year, it feels like I’ve been learning how to fly. I’m not saying it was always steady and I’m definitely not saying I’ve mastered it — but I think I’ve finally touched a feeling I’ve been searching for my whole life. I know that sounds dramatic but it’s true. I don’t often speak openly about my struggles, mostly because I’ve learned to look for the silver lining in everything. And this year, you have been that silver lining. Your support carried me through some of the hardest moments and continues to strengthen my faith in myself, my creativity and my power — While simultaneously renewing my faith in this world! I’m endlessly grateful for the reflections we offer one another, the keys we hold for each other’s growth, the goofy laughter and the quiet moments of shared stillness. As this year is almost over my excitement grows for the year ahead with all that awaits and all I get to share with my incredibly talented friends and community— my chosen family💜 Btw I couldn’t tag all of you & I need to take more photos with more of you ❤️‍🔥
