My name is Chan Osanyìn (they/them) and I’m a Black, mixed-race, queer, and trans spiritual person. I have been through varying experiences that have brought me to this path - the way out of the Patriarchy and into a rather enjoyable life and livelihood. All of this happened as a testament to my own grit and determination, which is at the heart of the LGBTQIA and BIPOC experience.

I absolutely love what I do. I love this community. And I have experienced many of the struggles too many of us have faced. I have lost a lot of loved ones, re-created myself from the inside out, and learned to love myself so deeply I refused to compromise on my very existence. I’m sure you know the feeling.

My work here is deeply important to me. As such, I have been almost clinical in terms of my own healing. It has been a life-long pursuit of mine to figure out how to heal the deluge of trauma I was handed by my birth parents and society. And within the past couple of years I finally found the golden key, through my mentor, spiritual teacher, and huge source of inspiration - Emily Waymire - in the depths of my final battle to exit the Patriarchy. I could not have found my Purpose without her. And I will always be deeply grateful for her patience and wisdom.

In terms of my career, in a past life I was a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practitioner and a learning & development expert. These experiences, while helpful, taught me a lot about myself. First, that I would always be learning. I am at any given moment both a student and teacher. And second, that you can’t help anyone who doesn’t want to help themselves. That lesson came to me through a lot of difficulty. And I am grateful to know that now after many years of personal and professional suffering.

I have been seeing clients in the spiritist arts since 2014, where I entered the world as a clinical herbalist. Through these life lessons, I was introduced to my spirit team and have developed a fuller relationship with them on behalf of my calling and my clients’.

So I am looking forward to working together. I have story after story of harrowing experiences where I had to figure out how to navigate some pretty tough challenges. The wheel of Life moves forward, but I happy and grateful that I’m still here figuring it all out (being alive is pretty weird and wild 😆).
