Host. Healer. Helper.
“What we believe determines how we grieve.” — Kristy LaMariana
At Corrales Grief Spa, our mission is simple but profound: to create a safe, sacred space where people can process grief, reconnect with themselves, and remember the deeper truths of who they are. We believe that grief is not something to be fixed—it is something to be witnessed, honored, and gently integrated.
Our vision is to shift the cultural narrative around grief and loss by offering soulful, personalized support rooted in compassion, presence, and spiritual wisdom. This is a sanctuary for the tender, transformative work of healing. A place to rest, release, and remember that you are not alone.
YOUR HOST
Kristy is the heart and soul of Corrales Grief Spa—a wise, nurturing presence whose life’s work has been to walk beside others through life’s most sacred thresholds: loss, transition, awakening, and renewal.
Meet Kristy LaMariana
With over three decades of experience in the healing arts, Kristy is more than a therapist—she is a grief muse, a soul guide, and a gentle witness to the human experience. She holds a Master of Science in Art Psychotherapy, and has studied Psychology, Sociology, and Expressive Arts extensively. Kristy is a certified yoga teacher, a Reiki Master in both Shamanic and Angelic lineages, a certified Ericksonian Clinical Hypnotherapist, and a trained Past Life Regressionist. She has studied Mandala Assessment, Sand Tray Therapy, and worked as a hospice chaplain and bereavement counselor. She is also an ordained non-denominational interfaith minister who officiates both weddings and memorial services.
Kristy has studied with shamans in both New York and New Mexico, trained in firewalking and mind-over-matter practices with Peggy Dylan, and was privately mentored by Dr. Raymond Moody, the pioneer of near-death studies and the creator of the psychomanteum—now a central healing space at Corrales Grief Spa.
Her approach blends clinical knowledge with spiritual insight, holding space for every part of the human journey—grief and joy, death and rebirth, sorrow and celebration. With an open heart and intuitive presence, Kristy helps her clients—individuals, couples, families, and caregivers—process pain, uncover meaning, and return to themselves more whole and more awake than before.
This sanctuary is her life’s offering. A place for you to land, to breathe, to heal… and to begin again.

The Musings of Kristy
At Corrales Grief Spa at The Oasis in Corrales, New Mexico, many streams of wisdom, ancient and contemporary alike, inform Kristy’s practice. The seven Hermetic principles are among them, as a framework that can illuminate the nature of grief. Grief has always asked the same questions. Why did this happen? How do I move...
Grief can become fertile ground. When one’s assumptions about the world are shattered, devastation can also be an opening for personal evolution. That loss, under certain conditions and with the right kind of support, does not always diminish a person. It can deepen them over time. There is a long history—in philosophy, spiritual tradition,...
Acute grief, prolonged grief disorder, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, delayed grief, cumulative grief—these are not a singular thing. Grief is a family of experiences. Each has its own character, timeline, and way of surfacing in the body and life of the person carrying it. Understanding the type of grief you or someone you love...
