THE NAME THAT HOLDS ME (my body)

I have been given many names and spiritual titles, but none expresses all of me.
Call me Irmina.  My ceremonial and pen name is Queen Tuya Nu.

WHAT DO I BELIEVE/KNOW (my knowledge)

Belief is not the word I would choose, but I understand why its used. I walk with divine knowing my path is remembering. I lean on lived experience, not dogma and invite curiosity over judgment.  

WHAT RELIGION DO I FOLLOW (my wisdom)

I don't follow a named religion. I have a sacred relationship with my higher self and the Divinity and Creator that created me.  I use discernment, not fear in my spiritual and mundane approaches. 

MY PATH TO DIVINE KNOWING (my understanding)

My faith, or divine knowing as I call it, came from direct experiences with the Divine Intelligence or Creator. Through the wisdom of many teachers and my own personal struggles, I've adopted, adapted, and developed a series of practices that helped me release deep shame, self-loathing, self-doubt, hidden rage, and fear.

MY DAILY DEVOTION (my practice)

My personal practice includes daily and seasonal devotions, rituals, and ceremonies. Not a day, or even a moment, goes by that I don't engage in meditation, introspection, nature-honoring practices, and cultivating relationships with kindred spirits. Most importantly, I seek alignment with my Soul, the part of the divine within me.

Through the years, my life has become profoundly sacred, although simple and quite ordinary.

WHAT I OFFER (my gifts)

Through this sacredness, I offer myself as inspiration for others. Using healing tools, song, dances, books, poetry, and other joyful, creative ways, I create a place of belonging for kindred spirits and fellow travellers. 

My tools and practices include wisdom teachings from Afro-Caribbean, African, Middle Eastern, Asian, and American traditions, wisdom rooted in essential, time-tested principles. I no longer include modern science as a central role here. This no longer aligns with my Soul. However, I respect those who are need this information to help them over forward in life. 

My work reflects the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding gained from decades of creative arts practices, spiritual training from Haitian, Western, and Yoruba teachers, as well as the ancestral wisdom passed down through the matriarchs in my family.

I have become a bridge that synchronizes and harmonizes my own divergent spiritual inheritance and experiences. 

EDUCATIONAL ROOTS (my education)

My Western education is rooted in health and wellness, education, and business entrepreneurship. Over the years, I gathered numerous certifications in holistic and complementary medicine (see credentials).

THE SYSTEM I OFFER (my system)

I do not center my work on programming. I recommend we learn to program ourselves. Instead I offer a system that addresses:

• Healing the wounds of a shattered Soul through inner self and community care
   
• Harmonizing mystical and practical needs that help people become their best
   
• Supporting members who want to reconcile and heal chronic challenges
   
• Creating, honoring, and defending personal restorative ways of being
   

My writing and wellness style are matriarchal and deeply feminine. I share through lectures, books, storytelling, natural voice chanting, artwork, Kreyol dance rhythms of Rada, Ibo, Kongo, and Petro, universal sacred teachings, and modern metaphysics. My system is also infused with my love and understanding of biology, geology, modern health science, and Eastern philosophy.

MY DIVINATION WORK (my oracle) 

My divination systems primarily assist sensitives and empaths in remembering their individual destiny and staying aligned with it through any challenge. This offers a novel, integrative perspective for healing the wounds of a shattered Soul. I offer these services online and in person whenever possible.

IN SUMMARY

It can be said my path has been one of self-reclamation as a universal sage, soothsayer, and medicine woman.

That is what I bring to the table to support your healing, transformation, and growth.
