I am Larissa Maddy — artist, muse, and trauma-informed guide.
My work lives at the meeting point of the seen and the unseen, where the body, intuition, and art speak in the same language.
My own path has been one of returning from survival into softness, from silence into expression.
As a survivor of sexual trauma, I learned that safety is not created through perfection, but through presence. Through allowing the body to guide the way, gently, at its own pace.
I create in many forms:
movement as embodiment,
painting as soul-mapping,
poetry as prayer,
and photography as devotion to the present moment.
In my healing work — Reiki, trauma-informed yoga, and 1:1 guidance — I hold space for others to reconnect with the truth, softness, and safety within themselves.
Everything I create — whether I am moving, painting, writing, or guiding — is an offering to presence, beauty, and depth. A reminder that healing is a form of art, too.
