About Tirakuna
Tirakuna, is an Incan name for The Watchers of the Spirit World. They inhabit rock outcroppings, ancestral temple sites, burial grounds, deserts, and forests. They keep watch as a reminder that performing ritual offerings is necessary to foster healing and balance for Pachamama (Mother Earth).
What began as a strict healing practice has now expanded to a Metaphysical and Wellness shop within a multi vendor store in Saugerties N.Y. The shop got its humble beginning when the world was in lock down. It created a new type of community; one that is authentic, transparent and beautiful. Tirakuna Collective is now the home of healing sessions, somatic therapy, divination, mentorship, ritual practices and metaphysical shopping.
Our shop believes in ethical sourcing, fair trade and repurposing items that already exist and have been discarded. In a time of mass production, it has never been more important to begin and continue the conversation on ethical consumption and sourcing.
Tirakuna's mission is to help people achieve their own version of Healing and Wellness while keeping the planet in mind.
Meet Our Founder
Crystal is the proud Founder of Tirakuna Collective. She is an Artist who practices Indigenous Shamanism and Somatic Therapy. She started by studying Crystal Healing and became a Certified Reiki Master in 2015. Following her Certification she opened her own Wellness Office in Bethpage, N.Y. Her experience in counseling and doing energy work for her clients paved the path to Indigenous Shamanism. She embarked on a Two Year Apprenticeship and immersed herself so deeply that within the first month, with the company of her husband and dog she picked up and moved to Upstate, N.Y. (like they say "There's no place like home").
In December 2020, Crystal started Tirakuna Collective; a collaborative place dreamed up in the midst of a pandemic. In true Libra fashion, it was a place created to bring harmony and balance to the environment. She wanted a place where clients could purchase their spiritual tools ethically but also a place where she supported other like minded small businesses, creators, witches and healers alike. Much like herself, it is a little bit of everything she holds near and dear in an inclusive space.
2025 brought in a new shop location and a profound offering; Somatic therapy. It being a therapy that changed her own life she knew it was something her clients should have access to moving forward. To live in true balance with herself means bridging the gap between the artistic, spiritual, and intellectual.
Our Healing Philosophy
No two people are the same so their path to healing shouldn't be either. It is a holistic transition that should bring harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. We strive to create a safe space where people can move through their trauma and release the blockages being held in the body. These sessions are tailored to you based on divination and counseling.
We integrate somatic practices, shamanic healing, and ritual for a deeper understanding; to find safety within for stress and trauma recovery.
