Shamans are not elevated above others; instead, we serve as humble spiritual counselors or mediators, providing healing services that uplift and transform lives. Some may advance to teaching positions, inspiring others with their wisdom, while others will focus on supporting their families and nurturing their communities. The shamanic practice encompasses various levels and specializations, each one a vital thread in the intricate tapestry of our sacred work. Individuals are chosen by their ancestors and spirit guides based on their potential to shine brightly, but must still put in effort, earn their place, and pass tests that refine their character and spirit. To retain the title of shaman, one must engage in ongoing training and spiritual growth, embracing a journey of self-discovery and transformation. This process involves releasing, correcting, and letting go of limitations on both human and spiritual levels, freeing us to soar to greater heights. By transcending biases, judgment, and ego, one can elevate their spirit, mind, and body, leading to greater accuracy in rituals and readings that guide and empower others. The purity of a shaman is reflected in their character, behavior, and community service, a shining beacon of hope and inspiration to all. Our work goes beyond readings, storytelling, and purification rituals; it is a sacred calling that transforms lives and awakens spirits. The most impactful aspects of our work include performing rituals that connect us with the divine, initiating new disciples into the mysteries of the universe, and establishing or repairing altars that anchor the sacred in our midst, marking the beginning of true spiritual healing and awakening.

I’ve been sitting with why I’m creating the New Year, New Me Summer Party, and the truth is—this isn’t just an event.

It’s about manifestation, in a way that feels real, embodied, and alive.

Throughout my life, I’ve always loved creating, having fun, and doing things differently—thinking outside the box instead of following the usual mold. As I’ve deepened my understanding of manifestation, I realized I didn’t want to teach it in a rigid, lecture-style way. I wanted to create something immersive, playful, and intentional—because that’s how change actually sticks.

This experience is designed to show you how to naturally manifest, especially in a group setting where the energy is more potent and supportive. We’ll move through the process from beginning to end—meeting the mind, body, and spirit—so you don’t just learn manifestation, you feel it and know how to carry it with you.

Every part of this has been thought through with intention—from the flow of the experience to the location being sponsored—so it’s accessible and affordable, while still meaningful and impactful. My goal is for everyone who joins to walk away with something they can truly keep and apply in their life.

If you’re ready to commit to change, to understand what manifestation really means and what it feels like to move toward what you want in a healthy, aligned way—this space is for you.

✨ Spots are limited, so message me directly if you are ready to immerse yourself in this experience.

The new year is fast approaching, and I’ve been feeling such a deep pull to end 2025 in an engaging and transformative way. So… what better way than a women’s overnight slumber party? 💤✨

This isn’t your childhood sleepover.
This is an immersive experience for like-minded women who are ready to receive support, laugh, reflect, rest, and call in the life we envision for 2026.

We’re not escaping life… we’re preparing to step into it.

I am so grateful that we have sponsorship from Atomy Hickory Legacy, who is graciously allowing us to use their cozy space for this experience. 💛

Today, I found a photo of me, my mom, and my grandma and it reminded me of my painting I did at my Rooted Retreat.

Inspired by Elizabeth’s Mother–Daughter paint night, I reached out to her to facilitate a paint session for my Rooted Retreat.

That night, she guided us through a journey of daughter, mother, and grandmother — three generations. She asked us to choose three colors: one to represent ourselves, one to represent our mother, and one for our grandmother. She also allowed us to add white and black for balance.

I chose yellow for myself — really, more of a gold — because yellow is my favorite color. For my mother, I chose red, a color I’ve always associated with her. And for my grandmother, I chose purple, because I always remember her in her purple knitted sweater.

I started with myself at the top layer. I let my brush move without expectation, without perfection — just feeling. I mixed in black and white and even touches of red. Every stroke, every texture created just felt right.

For my mother’s section, something different happened. I felt anger rise and that was all I was able to add to my mother's section of the painting.

Then I moved to my grandmother’s layer. I surprised myself… Instead of heaviness, I felt calm. Serenity. A softness I never felt before when thinking of her.

For most of my life, so many negative emotions were connected to my grandma. But recently, after accepting my shaman calling, I keep receiving the message that she and my grandpa live through my eyes — that I carry the life they never got to have.

As I painted, flowers began appearing. I added gentle whites, shadows of black, and soon there was an entire field of purple flowers — a bouquet just for her. It felt peaceful. So loving.

When I stepped back, I suddenly felt moved to add touches of white into my mother’s section. Then I felt compelled to stop.

At first I looked at the whole painting and thought,
“Dang, I kinda suck at painting.” 😂 But then I really looked. And I felt it.

There is calmness in that painting. There is serenity. There is truth: Yes, there has been darkness. Yes, there has been pain. Yes, there has been trauma. But none of that is the ending of the story.

I didn’t expect this painting to become a mirror for 3 generations of healing. We weren’t even talking about “healing” in the session — we were simply listening to a story about a daughter, her mother and grandmother — but the healing happened anyway. Quietly. Naturally. Through color and presence.

I am grateful that:
✨ I get to heal the generations before me,
✨ I get to honor them with creativity,
✨ and I get to create a softer legacy for the generations after me.

Sharing this experience with a group of women, seeing everyone’s artwork, and witnessing each of our three-generation stories unfold… it reminded me that healing doesn’t always require words. Sometimes it’s simply choosing a color, moving your hand, and letting the truth speak for itself.

I’m thankful I get to keep doing this work — for them, for me, and for who comes next. Happy early Thanksgiving and Hmong New Year. Stay blessed. ✨️

Recently, I met a younger version of myself.

I allowed her to stay for a while, and I watched how it felt to step into an old version of me—one that used to feel so familiar. What surprised me was realizing… I no longer resonate with her... I’m no longer her. And instead of grieving that, I felt so much love for it. I saw the growth. I saw the distance I’ve traveled.

For the first time, I didn’t feel the need to change her, fix her, or be the healer version of me who tries to improve everything. I just let her be who she is. I loved her exactly where she’s at, knowing she’s still learning, still exploring, still moving through her own wounds. And at the same time, I gave myself the permission to set boundaries—loving her, but not losing myself in what no longer resonates with me.

That part feels like the definition of growth.

I went from not knowing who I was…
to starting the inner work…
to witnessing how much my life has transformed…
to sharing that love, joy, and healing with others…
and now I’m stepping into a new layer:
the layer where I understand I don’t have to save anyone.

I don’t have to be the fixer.
I don’t have to change anyone’s path.
I can just witness people for who they are, where they are, and love them without carrying their journey as my own.

It feels so freeing to move through life with the tools I once had and the tools I have now. To say,
“I can no longer hold space for you.” Which allowed her to continue exploring while still honoring my current self.

That’s the boundary.
That’s the healing.
That’s the empowerment.

And seeing myself honor that boundary showed me something beautiful:
Coming back to old places isn’t always about healing or saving.
Sometimes it’s just about being present.
Seeing life as it is—the experiences, the people, the details—and not taking any of it personally, even the parts rooted in my own pain and traumas.

I’m just grateful to witness my own growth in real time.
To see the layers unfold.
To hold love for who I was, who I am, and who I’m becoming—without losing myself in the process.

Love all the work Ka Zoua does.

For a long time now, I’ve been asked to create a retreat for our Hmong speaking elders—-here it is!

You are invited to join us on this day to rest and reconnect with the vision that lives within you.

This retreat reflects the heart of Soul Ya:

the belief that healing doesn’t have a deadline,

transformation doesn’t have an age limit,

and a woman’s story can shift at any moment she chooses.

Here, we honor where you’ve been.
We celebrate who you’re becoming.
And together we begin again.

Bring your mom, mil, grandma, sisters, friends, colleagues!

Or gift this day to your team or family members who deserves a day to slow down and rest.

We will be speaking in Hmong and English and the practices will be slow and gentle to honor all bodies.

—-
If you are coming and would like to be a retreat ambassador, dm us for more information. 🙏

Tickets are $60 to ensure accessibility for all. Our day retreats usually start at $175. You can buy at our studio or from an ambassador and save $10 off!

How are you moving through the retrogrades?

Healing isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth it.
If you're like me, I love intellectualizing my emotions and boy did I have a really big emotion that was ready for release today.

Yea, I know. So cringe to record myself moving through it —but it is real and it is healing. And sometimes it helps people like me who need to be talked through an experience to understand our own experience.

While I moved through this experience, I used some of my favorite tools that I’ve learned (yes, shoutout to social media for introducing me to EFT tapping, gentle somatic movements, slow mindful breathing, and energy clearing). I let myself shake out the stuck energy and allowed calmness to replace its space.

It’s amazing how these simple rituals can bring me back to a feeling of peace and wholeness. Just wanted to share in case it helps someone else out there.
