Our Mission

To shine light on the power of choice by honoring our cycles, seasons, and sacred transformations.
To create nourishing space for others to feel seen, safe, and sovereign.
To walk beside those at the crossroads and remind them of the light they carry within.

The Birth of Illuminating Crossroads

Illuminating Crossroads was born from a deeply personal transformation—one marked by grief, surrender, and sacred remembering. In 2021, I found myself at a major crossroads in life, navigating the heartbreak of a miscarriage and the loss of a career that had once defined me. In the midst of this unraveling, I was guided by the presence of Hecate, goddess of the crossroads and keeper of liminal spaces. Her energy appeared in visions, symbols, and dreams, reminding me that even in the in-between, we are never alone. There is always a torch to light the way.

​

What began as a personal sanctuary for healing and rediscovery soon evolved into a calling to support others—those who, like me, were seeking clarity, connection, and a deeper relationship with themselves. The name Illuminating Crossroads came through during a meditation on the dance between the Sun and the Moon—light and shadow, expansion and rest, action and reflection. This sacred polarity still inspires everything I offer.

​

I created this space to be a compassionate and empowering container for healing, self-inquiry, and spiritual remembrance. Whether you're at a turning point in life, seeking support for a transition, or desiring a deeper sense of alignment, Illuminating Crossroads offers a path illuminated by love, intuition, and energetic harmony.

My Approach

I believe that every healing modality is an invitation to remember who we truly are—to reweave our light and return to our innate wholeness. Healing is not about perfection. It’s about integration. It’s about honoring our emotions, listening to our body, reclaiming our voice, and reawakening our soul’s wisdom.

​

My work weaves together Reiki, sound healing, astrology, tarot, intuitive guidance, and seasonal ritual to support clients in cultivating self-awareness, embodiment, and empowered choice. I meet each person where they are, holding space with deep presence and without judgment. I honor the courage it takes to explore your shadows, tend to your inner child, and walk toward your truth with open-hearted curiosity.

​

The crossroads is where transformation happens. And you don’t have to walk through it alone.

My Background

I’ve been offering my services through Illuminating Crossroads since 2021, beginning with intuitive tarot, Reiki, and sound healing. These practices were the seeds of my offerings, rooted in my own healing journey and a growing passion for energetic harmonics.

​

My formal path began with Reiki, receiving my first certification in 2020 and later becoming a Usui/Tibetan Reiki Master Teacher in 2022. I’m honored to be 10th in lineage from Reiki’s origin through my teacher, Marcela Alva, and while I haven’t yet taught Reiki myself, I hold the responsibility of this level of training with deep respect and intention for the future.

​

I began studying astrology in 2020, and have continued my learning through courses and mentorship, particularly under astrologer Austin Coppock, whose teachings have deeply influenced my understanding of archetypal cycles, timing, and personal evolution.

​

Much of my spiritual and metaphysical education has been self-guided and soul-led. Foundational texts like The Law of One and Seth Speaks sparked a lifelong devotion to exploring consciousness, multidimensionality, and personal empowerment. My studies have expanded through teachings from Jonathan Goldman and Eileen Day McKusick, whose work with sound and the human biofield have informed my sound healing practice and understanding of vibrational anatomy.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Audio Production, and it’s through this background that my relationship with sound healing first took root. Since then, I’ve held space for hundreds of individuals in both group and private sessions, weaving intention, intuition, and harmonics into every experience. I’m also currently completing my Yoga Teacher Training Certification, deepening my relationship with the body, breath, and embodiment practices.

​

I am, above all, a devoted student of life. Reading, researching, and refining my practices are part of my daily rhythm, and I believe the more I learn, the more I’m able to support others in discovering their own unique path to wholeness. My work is guided by a deep reverence for the unseen, a love of ritual, and the desire to hold space where others feel safe, seen, and empowered to reconnect with their inner truth.

Why This Work Matters

This work is meaningful to me because I never thought I would experience joy and freedom in the way I do now. I grew up with restriction, trauma, and a disconnect from my body and emotions. For a long time, my mind was the only place I felt safe. Through years of self-healing, inner child work, and spiritual devotion, I’ve come home to my body, reclaimed my voice, and opened my heart to the sacredness of life.

​

I know what it’s like to feel abandoned, lost, or unsure of how to move forward. And I also know what it’s like to be witnessed, held, and lovingly guided back to the light within. That’s what I offer through Illuminating Crossroads—a sanctuary for those ready to reclaim their wisdom, power, and truth.

Meet Lisette,
Founder of Illuminating Crossroads

"I am not subservient to my spiritual practice, my spiritual practice serves me." - Lisette Archer-Barber

Hello, I’m Lisette Archer-Barber, the founder of Illuminating Crossroads, where I support others in navigating life’s transitions, embracing personal growth, and reconnecting to their inner wisdom. My journey has been one of profound transformation, and it is this path that has inspired me to create a space for others to remember and reclaim their authentic power.

​

In 2021, after moving through deep personal grief and profound change, I found myself at a crossroads in life. During this time, I turned inward—practicing Reiki, working with tarot, studying astrology, and embracing sound healing and other metaphysical tools. The teachings of Hecate, goddess of the crossroads, and my deepening spiritual practices reminded me that in these liminal spaces, we find both the challenge and the opportunity for growth. And it was here, at this crossroad, that Illuminating Crossroads was born.

​

My offerings are rooted in Reiki, sound healing, astrology, and intuitive guidance, all designed to help you align with your body, mind, and spirit. I believe in the power of healing through energy work, self-awareness, and ritual. This is not just about feeling better; it’s about remembering your innate wholeness and embodying your truest self.

​

I approach my work with deep reverence for each person’s journey, meeting you wherever you are with compassion, trust, and the belief that transformation is not only possible but inevitable when we honor our choices and the cycles of life. I’m honored to walk beside you in your process, supporting you in reclaiming your inner wisdom and light.

​

I hold space for you, not as a teacher with all the answers, but as a fellow seeker and guide. I continue to learn, grow, and expand through my own studies and experiences, so I can better serve those who are ready to step into their fullest expression.

 

If you are at a crossroads, seeking clarity, or simply looking to explore your inner world with someone who truly understands the beauty and messiness of transformation, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
