The Story Behind the Work
Life, work
and the story behind it.
A life built around feeling more
Oriah Hera Mirza is a shaman, trauma life coach, author, acrylic muralist and conscious spatial designer. A Gen X mother of five, she brings decades of private client work and lived experience to her belief that people need room to slow down, feel safe and reconnect with themselves.
As a child, she made a small sanctuary with blankets, books and the company of her cat. That instinct—to create a place to exhale—grew into Oriah’s Nest and thirty years of creating personal sanctuaries and healing pods for private clients.
Sacred spaces & everyday life
Her design work considers light, texture, sound and personal meaning. A sanctuary may be a room or a quiet corner; a silence pod offers a smaller retreat from stimulation. Choice, comfort and a clear way out remain central, especially for children.
Guidance, circles & journeys
Oriah’s private guidance and women’s circles bring together reflection, guided meditation, music, drumming and grounding practices. Her work supports people exploring self-trust, personal boundaries and a more peaceful relationship with everyday life.
Through Sacred Earth Retreats, she and Riz create shared experiences in places rich with history, nature and cultural meaning. Travel has also been part of how she raised her five children: learning about life by experiencing more of the world.
Creative work with a human purpose
As Editor-in-Chief of Chakra Cozy Magazine and founder of Oriah’s Nest Productions, she brings her philosophy into publishing, television and experiential storytelling. Her ceremonial dance facilitation as Lady O explores rhythm, movement and connection.
Her books include Finding Merlin and Alien Upgrades. For the latter’s personal accounts and related conversations, visit the Alien Upgrade Hub.
