About Me

I am Raquel Radiance. I am a Spiritual Teacher, Transformational Life Coach, Neurodivergent Mystic, Intuitive Healer, Sacred Activator, Certified Psychedelic Practitioner, and Sacred Sensual Healer.

My path has been anything but linear. I am here as a multidimensional guide for those ready to release fear, reclaim their radiance, and embody the fullness of who they came here to be.

My Sacred Journey

From a very young age, I was an empathic, mediumistic, psychically sensitive child who perceived more than what was spoken or visible. I felt energy, emotion, and unseen presences with natural ease, and I carried a sweet, innocent connection with the divine that felt intimate and alive. I did not yet have language for this sensitivity, only a quiet knowing that there was more to life than what could be explained.

I was raised within a fundamental, non-denominational religious environment shaped by rigid rules, moral absolutes, and systems of control. Even as a child, something in me felt deeply uncomfortable there, although I couldn't articulate why. By the age of thirteen, I left the church, guided by an inner sense that my truth could not survive inside structures that demanded obedience over authenticity.

I was a seeker from an early age. By the time I was thirteen, I had already begun reading psychology and self-help books, trying to understand myself and the inner world I felt so deeply. I remember reading about self-esteem and confidence and sensing that whatever those qualities were, I didn’t yet have them. I didn’t have language for what was missing, only a quiet curiosity about how people seemed to move through life with a sense of inner steadiness that I longed for.

At the age of seventeen, I received a spiritual activation when I read the book "Out on a Limb" by Shirley MacLaine. I became passionate about learning about past lives, spirit guides, meditation, and my spiritual purpose, and I began a conscious spiritual path that would shape the rest of my life. At the age of 20, I met my spiritual teacher and mentor, who became a profound guide and surrogate father to me for the next thirty-two years. His entire philosophy centered on teaching successful living through self-trust. One of his core teachings was, “Don’t follow me. Let me teach you how to follow you.” From him, I learned to listen to my gut feeling, honor my inner voice, and trust my direct experience above all external authority.

It was during this period that I began walking two seemingly divergent paths at once. One path led me into the adult entertainment industry, where I worked as a performer in erotic films and toured for many years as a feature dancer. The other path led me quietly and privately into mediumship. Between 1989 and 2018, I was fulfilling a soul contract to help spirits who were afraid to cross over into the non-physical realm.

Many of the spirits I worked with carried deep fear rooted in religious conditioning. They were afraid of punishment, judgment, or eternal damnation. I helped them to understand that there was no heaven or hell as they had been taught, there was no punishment, and no condemnation. There was only learning, integration, love, and strength. I would bring down the light, and I would help them to release their fear, shame, and self-rejection. This allowed them to move into peace, resolution, and freedom. This work happened quietly behind the scenes, yet it was a profound and constant part of my life.

At the same time, my career in the adult entertainment industry grew to a high level of visibility and success. I performed in over three hundred erotic films and was inducted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame in 1998, the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Legends of Erotica Hall of Fame in 2007. While the world saw me as a performer, I understood that I was already embracing my role as a spiritual teacher.

Through my work, people were exposed to a healthier, more open relationship with sexuality. I modeled by example that sexual expression is a natural and joyful way to experience being human, rather than something shameful or forbidden. My performances conveyed that healthy enjoyment of sexual pleasure was a beautiful way of connecting with your body, and that sexuality was not separate from spirituality or self-respect. Without naming it as such, I was already offering embodied spiritual teaching, demonstrating that sexuality, presence, pleasure, and humanity could coexist with dignity and depth.

Eventually, the whisper of my soul grew louder than the roles I was inhabiting. I knew I was being called to guide others, not from performance, but from lived truth. In 2007, I began transitioning out of the industry and into formal study and training in psychology, sacred sexuality, Tantra, energy work, intuitive healing, and positive psychology. What emerged over time is the work I offer now, an integration of everything I have lived, everything I have learned, and everything I have become.

My Soul Purpose

I am here to guide transformation. I help people clear fear, release inherited limitations, and awaken to their own sacred power. I work with energy, touch, words, sound, and intuition to help my clients connect to their truth, heal from shame, and rise into a new timeline of freedom and embodiment.

My work is not about fixing what is broken. It is about remembering what is whole. I don’t follow formulas or scripts, I listen deeply to what your soul is ready for and meet you there with reverence, courage, and compassion.

This is not coaching from the head. This is soul work. Sacred work that changes lives.

My Embodied Wisdom

What I Have Learned Through Lived Experience

This lived experience shapes how I work with people now.

Deconstructing religious and patriarchal conditioning
Rebuilding self-trust after systems that taught self-betrayal
Transitioning from performance into presence, learning how to be real rather than perform for approval
Learning how to be visible without losing my authentic self
Navigating the initiations of multiple dark nights of the soul and learning how to come back to myself
A period of wanting to leave this life and consciously choosing embodiment
Navigating deep grief and loss and learning how to live again
Healing from brain damage and learning how to trust my body and mind again
Healing from adrenal burnout and chronic fatigue, and learning how to live in a way my body can actually sustain
Healing body dysmorphia and reclaiming a respectful relationship with my body
Learning that fun and restorative recreation are essential to my personal and spiritual growth
Learning to set clean, loving boundaries without abandoning myself
Navigating sexuality across multiple dynamics, recreational, ethical non-monogamy, sacred sexuality, and monogamy
Learning how to be deeply spiritual while staying grounded in my body and my humanity

My Approach

Each session is a co-creation between you, your higher self, your body, and the intuitive guidance that comes through when I listen deeply.

Whether we are working through fear, unraveling a deep pattern, exploring sensual embodiment, or making space for clarity, I tune into what your soul is ready to release and receive. My intuition shows up as energetic sensing, inner knowing, spiritual messages, and felt guidance. I may receive words, images, emotions, or clear impressions from your energy field or spirit allies that help guide the session in the highest direction.

I do not follow scripts or rigid structures. I listen, feel, and respond with loving precision. I allow space for what is ready to shift and bring in the modalities that are most aligned in the moment: energy healing, coaching, breathwork, sounding, microdose support, and sacred touch.

No two sessions are the same. The work meets you exactly where you are and supports you in returning to the truth of who you are: free, powerful, and whole.
