When I was born my parents gave me the name Caressa, which translates to ‘a loving touch’. I feel this truly is who I am and encompasses what I bring into everything I do.

In my work as an artist I see mother earth as my greatest collaborator. The natural world around me and these crystals shape my works and remind me of the beauty that resides below our feet. The energies these stones carry elevate spaces and are felt instantly.

I believe that we all speak a ‘language’, the language of the stars, the body, or plants for example, and my language just so happens to be the language of crystals.

Since 2018 I have hosted sold out workshops, creating crystal artworks and experiences to connect on a deeper level with crystals.

Next to my art, I have worked as a Reiki- and crystal healer, as well as yogateacher. I teach yoga with a focus on healing for apps like Meditation Moments, collaborate as a crystal expert with brands like A Beautiful Story, and organize inner artist retreats combining the magic of creativity and healing work.

With a loving touch.

The earth is crystalline, your bones are crystalline.

you are the crystal. you are earth.

The last years I’ve poured my heart into honing my craft. Learning how to polish the crystals I find on riverbanks, mountains, and the shoreline. Finding a way to honor the beauty of the earth and showcase her in your home. Love and attention is poured into every detail and intention goes into the selection of every element. I saw, sand and paint all baseboards myself, and every crystal goes through my hands and is polished to perfection. This proces takes its time, but is so purposeful to me. It’s like I’m collaborating with mother earth, feeling her presence in every step I take.
