Ceremony Work
The Role of the Healer + Medicine Woman
To be a healer and to be a medicine woman is to mark the passage of time with care, intention, and support from all realms seen and unseen. This work is my life’s work, one that I take in with great care, love, and humility. When we mark moments in time with intention and presence, we are better able to metabolize our reality, so that we can continue forward on our unique spiral paths with more groundedness, reflection, and clarity, no matter if we are in a contraction or expansion.
I like to walk beside my friends, clients, and students, holding their hands through the seasons of life; how could I know more about you, than you know yourself? The healing found in the intention, the beauty, and the presence, is more than enough. When we shine the light of our loving awareness on whatever the “stone in our shoe” is, it begins to heal instantly.
The more that I gather in person, the more that I feel how necessary it is for us to be with what Is, in person, together. I honor you who will be the one to invite in true intimacy with the ones you love, in witnessing one another in our personal and collective journeys, “big” and “small”.
Life moves us in spirals, offering us portals of transition and celebration, of loss and becoming. Some of these moments call for ceremony — a chance to pause, to be held, and to weave meaning into the fabric of our days. Whether it’s a birth, a death, a rite of passage, or a tender in-between, these moments matter.
This is an essential part of the work: to create spaces where people feel held and connected, through the support of healing energy, each other, and the gentle, medicinal plants of the Earth. Through presence, ritual, and shared beauty, we remember what it means to belong — to ourselves, to each other, and to the divine mystery that moves through us all.
Love,
Gaby
Circles
Being a human means that we experience many beautiful and many challenging chapters of life ~ our daughters starting their menstrual cycles, our best friends becoming pregnant and giving birth, weddings, the deaths of our beloved pets and of marriages, birthdays; all the instances that anchor markings of time in our lives.
Circles are beautiful ways to mark these moments with love, intimacy, gentleness, beauty, and with the people that you love. A Circle is a sacred gathering where we all sit equally together, welcoming in the Spirits and Earth to join us. It is an impeccable container attuned to the frequency of unconditional love, much like a healing session with Gaby.
We have opportunities to come together in a beautiful, intentionally held space to honor a meaningful moment in time, when those moments in time arise. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, blessing a new chapter, honoring a rite of passage, or simply gathering with those you love, this is a physical space for presence, nourishment, beauty, reflection, and connection.
Gaby thoughtfully creates the space with candles, flowers, cushions, music, and a custom tea blend crafted just for your gathering. You can also choose to include a custom flower essence for each guest to take home with them, or one for the whole group, supporting the energy of the event and intention.
In circles, everyone is invited to share (if they wish), and Gaby offers group Reiki to support grounding, release, clearing, and heart-opening. As an optional add-on, Gaby can offer mini oracle readings for each guest to bring insight and guidance into the space.
Some moments you might gather for:
Birthday blessings
Bachelorette celebrations
Wedding ceremonies
Divorce or relationship transitions
Pregnancy or postpartum ceremonies
First menstrual cycle / Menarche
Seasonal gatherings
Because you feel like it
Each Circle is uniquely crafted to honor your intention, with tenderness, beauty, and care.
Although Gaby mostly holds women’s circles, these are truly for all beings. We can go as light or as deep as the space calls for.
If you have a vision for a celebration or event, Gaby would love to create this with you!
To create your circle, please email gaby@gabyazorsky.com and we will schedule a call. You can also schedule a 20 min call below.
Private Ceremony Sessions
A Private Ceremony is an intimate, sacred space created to honor a meaningful moment in your life. This offering is for those tender, powerful thresholds that ask to be witnessed, whether in the presence of a beloved, a healer, or in solitude.
These sessions lovingly and creatively come together to meet you wherever you are. One of Gaby’s favorite things about being a healer is the artistry that is present, and so in this space, we get to be creative with your intention, your heart’s desire, and your body’s needs.
Gaby prefers for these sessions to be mostly silent, for often times we just need to be seen and held without words. We sit for Tea and share Reiki, and whispers of channeled messages for you often come through. At the end, we open our voices to share in the experience, and a custom flower essence is crafted.
Like an in person healing session, our space is thoughtfully prepared with candles, flowers, cushions, and music, creating a sanctuary for you to land and be held.
Couples are welcome.
Some moments you might want a private ceremony session for:
A wedding or sacred union
An un-coupling or closing ceremony
Pregnancy or postpartum blessing
A personal rite of passage
Loss, grief, or remembrance
Marking a new beginning
A moment of self-devotion or reclamation
Because you feel like it
Each Private Ceremony is a co-created ritual, designed to honor the sacredness of where you are in this moment in time.
Private Ceremony sessions are held in person only, Ojai, California.
To create your private ceremony, please email gaby@gabyazorsky.com and we will schedule a call. You can also schedule a 20 min call below.
Wedding Officiant
A story: A few years ago, Gaby was asked to officiate the wedding for her two dear friends, Mallory and Laura. As the ceremony was preparing to begin on a family beach in Cape Cod, the wind was raging. Gaby took to her seat between Heaven and Earth, as we all can do, and set the intention for the ceremony. She remembers saying in that prayer, “Let the beach stand still, for at least this 30 minute ceremony.” As soon as the processional began and the bride took her first step onto the aisle, the wind went silent. We stood still in a bubble in time on that beach for the 30 minute ceremony, it was perfect, tears, laughter, an overflowing cup of love, and as the ceremony ended and the newly-wed couple exited the aisle, the wind began again. It was an incredible, life-changing night, for us all.

There are only a few things in this world that I believe to be a greater honor than being present in a union of love. It is said that when a couple becomes married, their auric field quadruples - the radiance of their love literally making the world a better place. Gaby knows this to be true.
As a wedding officiant, I hold space for ceremonies that feel intimate, meaningful, and true to who you are: whether your gathering is under an ancient oak, by the ocean, or in your backyard.
Together, we’ll co-create a ceremony that reflects your love story, your values, and your vision for this sacred moment. Gaby can weave together blessings, meditation, readings, rituals, and vows in a way that feels organic, heartfelt, and anchored in presence.
Your ceremony can include elements such as:
Custom-written opening and closing blessings
Community prayers or shared intentions
Personal vows and shared readings
Honoring of ancestors, spirit guides, and the natural elements
My role is to create a container of warmth, reverence, and beauty for this life-changing moment. Thank you!
Available for weddings, vow renewals, and sacred unions of all kinds. Based in Ojai and Los Angeles, California, will travel for love :)
