Holistic Psychotherapy
Rasa Satya is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 15 years of dedicated experience working with individuals, couples and families. She was voted best therapist in Santa Cruz in 2018.
Rasa brings a deeply holistic and integrative approach to therapy. It is rooted in a process oriented experiential framework, where she weaves together somatic and mind-body practices, Gestalt and psychodynamic approaches, and transpersonal psychology. Therapy becomes an alchemical spiritual journey - one that honors the wisdom of the body, the unconscious, and the soul.
The unique blend of her education, experience, spiritual insight, shamanic wisdom and multidimensional approach allows her to gracefully guide clients through inner landscapes and transformational experiences where they reach profound states of self-awareness, remembrance and wholeness.
Rasa’s work is rooted in grounded presence, simplicity, intuition and embodiment, she carries a softness that makes the most difficult experiences feel safe and accessible. While she draws from a wide spectrum of modalities to support deep healing and transformation, she also has a rich educational and professional background.

Spiritual Guidance
As much as Rasa's work is rooted in psychotherapy practices, she also passionately serves as a spiritual guide. Rasa’s gift is her ability to weave the worlds. She bridges the clinical and the mystical, the psychological and the spiritual, the modern and the ancestral. Her sessions are clinically safe and spiritually guided.
On your spiritual journey to liberation, Rasa invites you to travel between the worlds - visible and invisible, between personal and transpersonal, descending deeply into the underworld encountering “darkness” of your psyche, while ascending to the upper world of spirit realms as you awaken and remember who you are, breaking free of illusions. It is a process of death and rebirth.
It takes courage to go on this journey. If you are not willing to start this journey on our own, oftentimes life will present the challenges to initiate you. Remember, you’ll always be rewarded in the end: more integrated and whole, embodied in your earthly roots, connected to the divine within and in touch with your soul’s
guidance. You will experience deep self acceptance and compassion, greater wisdom, inner freedom and peace, oneness with all, and a profound shift in perspective. You’ll be able to live authentically, in alignment with your true self and higher purpose.
Feminine Mysteries
Rasa channels the timeless current of the divine feminine, carrying medicine from ancient traditions into the present. She is the steward of the feminine mysteries, a midwife of transformation and a trusted guide for those ready to walk the path of healing and sovereignty.
Grounded in her feminine embodied wisdom and intuitive guidance, she creates powerful sacred containers where she guides women back into their bodies, helps them to create safety and trust within, heal ancestral wounds, and awaken womb wisdom through embodiment practices, movement and rituals.
Do you feel called to reclaim your feminine powers of intuition, voice, pleasure, liberate your erotic nature, surrender into the unknown and deeply trust your inner current to guide you?
Are you ready to receive abundance and feel worthy of your desires, integrate your inner feminine and masculine within, and become a channel for creative expression and love?
​
Rasa has been supporting women and leading a variety of women’s circles and sacred feminine gatherings, empowering women and teen girls in their sexuality, offering parenting classes, spiritual circles, medicine ceremonies, and more for over 20 years.
​
What makes Rasa’s work extraordinary is the integration of multiple
pathways of healing into a single coherent body of work. As a bridge
walker, she brings together the rigor of professional psychotherapy,
the wisdom of the sacred feminine, and the depth of embodied spirituality.
Rasa’s Story - A Life Guided by Spirit
Rasa was born in a small town in Lithuania. So much of her childhood unfolded in fields, forests, and trees, where she was immersed in the magic of nature and the freedom of play. Though her family often faced poverty and hardship, she was never without an inner sense of abundance. From an early age, she felt deeply connected to spirit and the unseen dimensions. Nature was her teacher, and source was her guide. Even in moments of challenge and solitude, she knew herself as more than her circumstances, always sensing a higher purpose and a deeper truth calling her forward.
At the age of 25, after completing her bachelor’s degree, Rasa felt a spirit whisper a bold invitation to leave everything behind - her family, friends, her country and all that she knew - and step into the unknown. She surrendered to her soul’s calling and came to the US, with no money, no community, not knowing anybody and not even a language to rely on. What she carried was something greater than certainty - she carried trust. Trust in her inner guidance. Trust in the infinite possibilities. Trust that spirit would always protect and provide. And it did.
For the next two decades, Rasa walked the path of wife, mother, professional, giving herself fully to the roles that life placed before her. Throughout these years, the voice of her higher self never ceased to guide her. She always knew that beyond her identity, personality, even the roles she cherished, she was something more - a soul woven into the fabric of creation, here with a sacred purpose.
This lifelong connection to her soul became the foundation of Rasa’s work. She knows that while our human selves can sometimes feel lost, confused, abandoned, and alone, we are never truly without guidance. On the transpersonal level, we are always held and supported, never alone. This truth lives in her bones, and it is the truth she brings into her work with clients: the reminder that every soul has access to this deep connection to spirit, that every person has the ability to listen within and trust their own inner guidance.
Her life is proof of what becomes possible when one follows the whispers of the soul: a life of courage, authenticity, and service to the highest good of all.
