Awaken. Heal. Evolve. Uplift.
Abigail Kochunas
Founder & Creator
Abigail is a Multidisciplinary Artist, Trauma-informed Reiki Practitioner, and Animal Communicator based in Joshua Tree, CA. She is trained and attuned in Usui Reiki I and II, Energy Medicine, Core Wound Healing, Shamanism and has been working with crystal and herbal healing for over 25 years. While her artistic career began in entertainment, her first loves were writing and painting. Her artwork has been featured in the Emerging Artists Gallery in Los Angeles. She is the creator of Art Alchemy workshops and author of This Awakened Life on Substack.
Having gone from trauma “survivor to thriver” she understands the delicate nature and importance of both trauma recovery and spiritual awakening at a human scale - having the wisdom of that lived-in experience.
With a deep reverence for Mother Earth and growing up in Buddhist, Pagan and Christian traditions, Abigail recognizes the harmony and interconnectedness of all things. She offers energy work to both humans AND their animal companions, along with animal communication. Her healing work is comprehensive taking a multi-sensory approach to reiki and energy healing by incorporating sound, aroma, color, and vibrational remedies. She handcrafts premium organic aromatherapy as well as flower and gem essences - all available on her Etsy shop.
As an artist, Abigail has long been fascinated with the relationship between art and spirituality. How do they relate? How do they nourish and encourage each other? They both embody and explore the act of CREATION. We create art as we create life. We give birth to art as we give birth to life. A sacred expression of our divinity…and our sexuality. If we are not tuned-in to this element of human nature, or if we’ve shut it off out of shame or guilt, then we have stifled the flow of our life force. We’ve hindered our true essence and ability to LIVE freely and fully. Art IS the holy trinity of spirituality, sexuality and creation. Three elements working in harmony for creation. A ceremony where we surrender ourselves to our Creator and become the vessel through which the art is channeled and manifested. It’s ancient wisdom. It’s a safe space. It’s Alchemy and Transmutation. It’s life force flowing freely and abundantly.
An artist and healer have the responsibility to assist society in their awakening, to shine light into the darkness. As such, it is Abigail’s purpose in this lifetime to AWAKEN, HEAL, EVOLVE and UPLIFT all sentient beings. This includes her advocacy and volunteer work with animal rescues. She is the hopeful optimist who still believes in the good in this world and that ART has the power to transmute and transform the collective, to fuel the movement of LOVE…because LOVE is louder. She wishes you love, healing and an ever expanding consciousness.
