Lara

Igniting, Bridging, Balancing…

With East Indian and Turkish roots and a lifetime spent navigating vastly diverse conditions across the globe, I’m a natural bridge of understanding between people, perspectives, and worlds.

Thus, I am devoted to engendering unity and awakening an awareness of our inherent oneness while dissolving the illusion of “otherness” that separates us.

When I was barely seven years old in India, I remembered exactly who I was at a deep soul level and what I was here on earth to accomplish. However it wasn’t until much later in life—while suddenly and severely ill in the Peruvian Andes—that a profound near-death experience altered my life trajectory.

Guided by two luminous beings by my side, as I exited my body I journeyed the multiverse and was shown the fundamental truths of existence. When I returned to my body, the shaman who had helped bring me back to health led me through more initiations—firstly into a closely guarded Incan tradition of energy medicine and secondly into shamanhood.

In the years that followed, my creative trilogy emerged—Book, Healing System, Essences— and I traveled our beautiful planet while living out of a suitcase, sharing my work with thousands of people across six continents.

After more than 25 years of being blessed to serve and empower on a global stage, I’ve now launched Hui Wai Wai LLC, where those who resonate can come to experience the powerful activating energies beneath sacred Kalalea mountain through various collaborative offerings.
