Practitioner Spotlight: Rachael Lahren

I’m Rachael Lahren, an intuitive guide and creative curator. Through the Aura Sanctuary, Psychic Fairs, private sessions and other projects, I weave together energy work, sensory design, and wellness practices to help people reconnect with their own light, authenticity and inner wisdom.

Since childhood I’ve been highly sensitive to energy and subtle cues.  My mother has told me stories of “shooing away something in the room” that caught my attention.  In 2015, while researching my grandmother’s adoption story (she passed in 1983), I discovered my great uncle — the baby brother she never knew — living halfway around the world. Over video chat, we truly became family, and it was in these conversations that he shared with me the gifts of cross-dimensional communication. I know now that my ancestors were guiding us to one another all along. It was pure magic, and it affirmed for me that these gifts are both inherited and awakened when we choose to listen.

I most identify with the Crown Chakra. It embodies divine connection, spacious awareness, and trust in the unseen. For me, it represents living in alignment with spirit — receiving guidance, inspiration, and a sense of unity with all things, and, above all, trust that all is as it is meant to be. It reminds me that my role is to stay open, curious, attuned to the flow of higher wisdom and to always know that we exist as one.

Holding space for transformation and accepting change; seeing patterns and potential where others see chaos; translating subtle energy into tangible experiences through color, light, and design; and creating environments where people feel safe to root, release and expand. I have also been so fortunate to have a connection to the other side. I believe we all carry this superpower — it simply asks that we choose to trust it.

I am a New Yorker at heart. Recently, I lived in the lush Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina before returning to the vibrant energy of New York City. The contrast nourishes me: the quiet of nature grounds my intuitive work, while the city’s pulse reconnects me to the shared human experience. It reminds me that we are all co-creating this journey — and that creation itself is love.

Because it’s a living expression of everything I love: collaborative creativity, energy medicine, and spirituality.  It’s all the high vibes!
