The journey is inward. I’ll walk with you.

My Story

Hey y'all,

I'm China Izaguirre, a lineage-based spiritual advisor from Oklahoma. I hate writing these because there's so much I want to say, and you came for a bio, not a novel.

I grew up with this. My grandmother's family was Black, white, and Chickasaw, and their story is like no other: removed from their land, then not recognized as Native because they were Freedmen, even though we have the documents and the lineage. My biological father is from Puerto Rico, and I'm currently diving into my Taino roots and what it means to connect with that energy.

Spirituality wasn't cool when I was a kid. Only my immediate family knew I could see spirits. Everyone else just thought I was strange.

In 2021, after COVID and a hard breakup, I was more lost than I had ever been. I'd spent years ignoring who I was so I could seem normal, and I felt completely alone. My grandmother taught me that if you go before God with an honest heart, you'll be heard. So I was honest. I cried out to God and my ancestors and asked for my life to change. The next morning, my sight, the one I had tried so hard to ignore, was ten times stronger. My great-grandmother, a medicine woman and seeker, initiated me, and I started giving messages and helping people. I've been living from my heart instead of my hurt ever since.

I was certified in Reiki in 2019, before any of this began. In 2023, when a close friend was in the hospital fighting for his life, I stayed by his side for months, praying and doing healing work. That's when my work grew into clearing and shamanic practice.

In 2024, right before I left for Bali, I learned I'm on the spectrum. It explained so much. For the first time I met who I actually am, and I accepted all of it.

Leaving to explore the world was scary, and it was the most necessary thing I've ever done for myself. So many of us sit at the edge of change, too afraid to leap because the unknown is the unknown. We learn not to trust ourselves because of other people. That's a big part of why I do this work.

I've been traveling Southeast Asia for over a year, with more countries ahead. Asia has taught me how energy moves through the body. I'll never ask you to do anything I haven't done myself. You're the expert of your own experience, though sometimes that can keep you in a cycle. I've seen this work work.

Whether you want to change your life, find closure after losing someone, or start a path with more fulfillment than stress, I'm here to help you see that you can. I want you to leave trusting yourself a little more than when you arrived.

Thank you for being here and being you. See you soon.
