My Story

Chan Osanyin, M.S. (They/them)

I had a difficult past life. There’s no need to sugar-coat it. I’m a Black, mixed-race, queer, intersex and transgender medium. You can imagine all that I’ve been through with these identities.

Everything started when I was a child. The spirits came to me first. Then the transmissions began when I was a teenager. And I didn’t know how to channel any of this intense spiritual energy running through my body. By the time I was an adult, my nervous system was wrecked - from an incredibly difficult childhood, a lack of the correct outlets for my gifts, no teachers to show me, and the ancestral baggage I had inherited (let alone trying to survive the Patriarchy).

A few years back, my mentor, Emily Waymire, showed me the way out of the trauma field and into the generative field. She showed me how to heal properly and held me through focusing my mediumship. Now, I have the immense honor of being a wayshower and guide for others going through their spiritual rebirth.

My life is peaceful. I get to travel the world. And I’m doing the work I came here to do - hold the field for your body to heal so you can return to Truth.

My Ethics

Spiritual Safety

>

For your protection and mine, I have placed a spiritual quarantine on this website. I also set quarantines before every client session. It keeps the riff-raff out and the work clean.

This is a 100% AI-free business. AI does not belong here.

Practitioner Hygiene

>

I engage in ongoing somatic therapy sessions anywhere from 2-3 times a week within a larger somatic therapist’s community, of which I’m a member. This helps me to keep my client sessions and tarot readings clean. It also supports with referrals. Any good health & wellness practitioner should be doing this.

Self-Awareness & Limitations

>

I only take on clients that I can actually support. For all other cases, I will refer you out to another somatic therapist, tarot reader, or a different therapy form, where appropriate.
