Syrissa is a multi-disiplinary healer, ceremonialist, doctoral student of clinical acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, and an innate seeker at heart. Food has always been her therapy and favorite artform- dancing in the kitchen and singing one’s heart into every dish. As an herbalist she has had the honor of helping open some of the first Botanical Bars in Manhatten with The Assemblage NYC through Ambrosia Elixirs. She has curated elixir bar programs for retreat spaces in Hawaii, holds space for integration circles/retreats and is a novice farmer who grows food and medicines to serve her community. Her mission is bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern technology. While she spends her time in clinical observations these days, she has also traveled to various countries to study with elders from indigenous communities and continues her dietas for self growth and expansion in this chaotic world. She finds that music and ceremony can be infused in everyday tasks when we shift our perspective and remember that life is sacred.
