We recently connected with Briana Christine and have shared our conversation below.

Briana, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

When I think about the legacy I hope to leave behind, I envision a world that remembers how sacred it is to heal gently, with the earth as our guide and flowers as our teachers. I hope to be remembered as someone who walked with reverence — for the land, for the unseen, for the sacred spaces between spirit and skin. Someone who reminded others that beauty is not superficial — it is spiritual, it is cyclical, and it is alive in every petal, every ritual, every intentional breath.

My legacy is rooted in the belief that we are not separate from nature — we are nature. We are wild and soft, luminous and grounded, constantly growing and returning home to ourselves. I want to be remembered as someone who helped others come back to that truth, through the ancient wisdom of flowers, through ritual, through community, and through a deep commitment to sustainability — because healing is not healing if it does not honor all beings.

Let them say I created spaces where people felt seen, soothed, and reconnected. That I tended to the beauty of this world as a sacred act. That I lived in service to something greater — the pulse of the earth, the song of the ancestors, the energy that binds us all. Let them remember me not as a single voice, but as a seed that helped others blossom.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

For those just meeting me, I’m Briana — a master esthetician, chef, astro-herbalist, and spiritual guide walking the sacred path of healing through the beauty of nature and the wisdom of the unseen. My journey began nearly a decade ago in professional kitchens, where I fell in love with the way food could be both nourishing and ceremonial; and then as a master esthetician where I learned plant based product ingredients and that furthered my respect and love of the flowers and herbs, and deepened my knowledge and hunger for more education of the function of the body systems. That passion for the healing power of the earth eventually evolved into the study of plants, stars, energy, and spirit.

Over the years, I’ve deepened my work through shamanic studies, curanderismo (Mexican folk healing), and training in the Akashic Records, even working in operating rooms across Utah next to top surgeons in the state — blending modern holistic practices with ancient earth-based wisdom and western knowledge. I’ve learned that true healing doesn’t come from a single modality, but from creating spaces where body, soul, and spirit are welcomed as one.

Today, my offerings weave these threads together — from spiritual integration coaching and energy healing, to ritual-infused skincare and flower-drenched body products, to workshops that blend folk rituals, seasonal cycles, and community connection. I guide clients through deep inner work using reiki, breathwork, plant medicine, ancestral wisdom, and somatic healing. I create handcrafted herbal remedies and botanical goods that turn everyday rituals and beauty routines into sacred experiences.

What sets my work apart is that it is rooted in reverence — for the body, for nature, and for the mystery. I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface solutions. I believe in coming home to yourself, in remembering your belonging, and in healing that honors both science and spirit, ancestors and intuition, beauty and depth.

What I’m most proud of is the way I’ve been able to help others remember who they are through the earth — through flowers, through ceremony, through listening deeply to what the soul is asking for. I want people to know that everything I offer comes from lived experience, devotion, and love. Floraluna, my brand, is more than a business — it’s a living, breathing expression of everything I believe in: slowness, sacredness, softness, and the deep magic of remembering that we are part of nature — and never apart from it.

Have you ever had to pivot?

Before I fully stepped into the spiritual world, I was deeply immersed in the beauty industry. I wasn’t just a master esthetician — I was a coach, a podcast host, and a branding mentor for solo beauty professionals, helping them grow aligned businesses in aesthetics and self-care. What drew me in wasn’t the trends or the surface — it was the energy.

I saw firsthand how beauty treatments had the power to shift something deep within a person. I witnessed the way a moment of self-care could transform how someone carried themselves, how they spoke, how they saw their own reflection. That shift in energy — from self-doubt to self-belief — radiated out and affected everyone around them. I believed in that ripple effect. It was powerful. And for a long time, it felt like enough to keep me in that world.

But as time went on, I found myself constantly hitting walls. The industry that once lit me up began to drain me. Despite my efforts to bring heart, authenticity, and healing into the space, I was met with burnout, resistance, and misalignment. My soul was craving something deeper — and when I began my training as a shamanic practitioner and curandera apprentice, everything began to shift.

Suddenly, all the energy I was trying to channel through beauty — confidence, radiance, self-love, transformation — already existed within the spiritual world. It wasn’t something I had to fight to make space for. It was already there, waiting for me.

So, I made the decision to let go of the beauty industry, even though it had shaped so much of who I was. And instead of leaving everything behind, I transmuted it. I began to carve out my own sacred space — where herbalism, skincare, and ritual could come together. Where beauty wasn’t about trends or perfection, but about devotion, nourishment, and returning to the self.

Now, I create spiritual skincare rooted in ritual and energetics. I guide others back to themselves through ancient healing and plant medicine. And I finally feel like I’m exactly where I was always meant to be.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

One of the most defining chapters of my journey — and a true testament to my resilience — was going through my integration coaching training. On the surface, it was a six-month intensive program rooted in trauma-informed care, coaching methodology, and sacred integration work. But beneath that, it was a deep personal unraveling — a soul excavation.

This wasn’t just about learning how to hold space for others. It was about facing every part of myself that I had tucked away, avoided, or spiritualized without fully healing. The program asked me to walk through my own shadows — not just once, but over and over. It brought up old grief, unprocessed trauma, inner child wounds, and the parts of me that were still holding onto survival patterns. It was raw. And there were moments I wanted to walk away from it entirely.

But instead, I stayed. I stayed when the mirror got uncomfortable. I stayed when the work brought me to my knees. And in staying, I remembered just how much strength lives in softness. I learned to hold myself in the same way I wanted to hold others — with compassion, patience, and deep presence.

That experience didn’t just teach me how to be a better coach. It fundamentally reshaped how I live, how I listen, how I lead. It reminded me that resilience isn’t about bypassing pain — it’s about transmuting it, integrating it, and rising again with a deeper sense of purpose.

Now, when I guide others through their own healing, it comes from a place of deep knowing. Because I’ve walked through the fire. I’ve made peace with my shadows. And I know what it takes to alchemize them into light.
