Jilly Eddy, Founder of Lipsology, retired in 2018 and, though it took a while, we finally transferred ownership of Lipsology, LLC to Laura West and myself, Ariana Lightningstorm. Lipsology, LLC will be focused on training new Lipsologists all over the world.

Lipsology is the art and science of Lip Print Reading - i.e. discovering personality characteristics, energy levels, and emotions through the interpretation of lip prints. How it works: Virtual Parties - On your virtual platform (or Ariana's) your guests gather and all they need is a plain piece of paper, a pen, and some moist (not matte or gloss) lipstick. Kiss the paper and hold it up to your web-cam and with a 4-5 minute reading per person (or longer if requested) Ariana will share your guest's personality traits, energy levels and more based on interpreting their lip print! There's 25 categories and over 100 sub-categories of lip prints so there's a lot that can be shared. Your guests will be amazed and have a lot to chat about at your virtual gathering.In-Person Parties - Your guests come up to Ariana’s “kissing station,” put on lipstick, kiss the unique kiss card that Ariana designed for your event, then come and sit with Ariana to hear all about what messages their lip prints have for them. Using lip print characteristics such as size, shape, color intensity or lack of color, fullness, positioning and special markings, Ariana’s interpretations give your guests a way to look a themselves a little differently, create laughter and lots of fun, and gives them a memento (your kiss card) to take home with them to remember your great event for a very long time to come!Ariana is available for virtual and (eventually again) in-person events local to DC, MD, and beyond. Ariana will also happily travel to your party or event anywhere in the world!

Rebirthing Breathwork is a safe, gentle, yet powerful process of conscious, connected energy breathing which helps you to identify and dissolve negative limiting thoughts, suppressed feelings and emotions and restrictive energy patterns retained in the body traceable through life back to birth and or conception or other powerful trauma experiences. Rebirthing Breathwork uses the breath to clear and cleanse the physical, mental, and emotional bodies, bringing about a new integration of mind, body and Spirit and begins a transformation of the subconscious impression of life from one of primal pain to one of increasing pleasure. Through the use of affirmations you will learn to heighten your self-esteem, expand your awareness of Spirit, increase your self-acceptance and vitality and transform your thinking, thus enabling you to achieve profound and lasting positive permanent life changes. With the Rebirthing Breathwork process and these techniques, any of your old thoughts or behavior patterns can be made conscious so they can be released, thus your heart will open to receive more love and your mind peace. Rebirthing Breathwork is releasing your resistance to your aliveness and saying Yes to your own life force.Rebirthing Breathwork is experienced through a series of 10 individual sessions with an experienced Rebirther Breathworker after which the "rebirthee" has a life-long tool for integration and healing. The client First does one session to decide whether he/she wishes to continue on to do the complete series.Ariana has been doing energetic healing work for 31 years and uses her training in Reiki, Healing Touch, Quantum Touch, and her own natural healing skills to bring her clients to more balance and ease.

I have been a certified minister since 2006 and have performed handfastings and commitment ceremonies with couples (including same sex couples) as long ago as 1982. Since 2006, I have been performing legal weddings, funerals and other transitions of life. My spiritual background is an eclectic mix of Spiritual traditions and so I am happy to work with whatever faith my clients are comfortable with as I consider myself non-denominational. I borrow from many traditions and work with my clients to create the best environment and most beautiful experience for their event.

Oshun Gaia is a recording project of Amikaeyla Proudfoot Gaston and Ariana Lightningstorm with chants from around the world, African, Native American, Tibetan, Hindu and original chants that move and flow and rock! Oshun Gaia is the crux of where spirit meets flesh, sound meets soul, and water meets earth. Oshun is the Orisha Goddess of fresh water - the energy of bounty, blessings, home, and hearth. Gaia is Mother Earth. Her name is from the Greek noun for "land". Gaia was born from Chaos, the great void, and with her came the god of love, Eros. She gave birth to the ocean and the sky. Here is where breath, song, chant, drum and dance are one - where spirit is called by one voice and many... one tradition and many. We are blessed to have the opportunity to share years of teaching by many prophets of song who have led us down this road of spiritual teachings and ancient traditions of healing through the medicine of music. Join us as we travel through the lush harmonies, powerful drumming, and enchanting ritual of ancestral calling. Enjoy...

I am now the first Certified Lipsology Teacher (aside from the founder of Lipsology). The founder and I are starting to teach and expand the number of Certified Lipsologists. Getting in on the ground level of this is quite exciting!
