The Birth of Illuminating Crossroads

Illuminating Crossroads is here 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.

Lisette’s journey of unfolding…

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

Hi, I’m Lisette —
an Energetic Harmonics Facilitator, dream interpreter, and intuitive guide devoted to helping others come home to themselves.

Illuminating Crossroads was born from the weaving of my own healing path — years of dreamwork, sound, ceremony, and the sacred integration of soul and self. For much of my life, I searched for a place to belong, for the feeling of home. What I eventually realized was that home isn’t a place — it’s a state of alignment between your soul and your lived self.

And that’s the work I do now:
I help others listen.
To the whispers of their dreams.
To the patterns in their energy.
To the invitations encoded in their astrology.
To the wisdom of their soul that never left.

I’ve studied esoteric and intuitive astrology, Reiki, sound healing, tarot, subconscious reprogramming, and contemplative practice. But my deepest teachers have been dreams, music, the spirit of plants and stones, and the moments when I thought I was lost — but was really just being reborn.

My sessions are soft portals.
They’re not about fixing you — they’re about remembering your truth.
They’re gentle, intuitive, and multidimensional — combining energy work, sound, breath, crystals, and divination to help you process, clarify, and move forward in resonance with your soul stream.

If you’ve been walking through a threshold…
If your dreams are speaking in symbols…
If your spirit wants to be heard again —

I’d be honored to meet you at the crossroads.

With reverence,
Lisette Archer-Barber

FAQs

  • Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) is a gentle, energy-based healing practice that promotes relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. Originating in Japan, the word "Reiki" translates to "universal life energy." It involves the practitioner channeling healing energy through their hands to support the recipient's natural ability to heal on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

    During a Reiki session, you’ll typically lie or sit comfortably while the practitioner uses a series of light touches or hovers their hands just above your body. Many people report feeling warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during a session.

    Reiki is not tied to any religion or belief system and complements other forms of healing, making it accessible to anyone seeking stress relief, emotional balance, or enhanced well-being.

  • Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that uses sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance, and well-being. By using instruments such as crystal singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks, drums, and the human voice, sound healing creates frequencies that help the body and mind enter a state of deep relaxation and harmony.

    These vibrations interact with your body on a cellular level, encouraging stress reduction, emotional release, and energetic alignment. Sound healing can help clear blockages, support mental clarity, and enhance overall vitality.

    During a session, participants often rest in a comfortable position while listening to the soothing sounds. Many describe the experience as deeply meditative, with sensations ranging from tingling and warmth to a profound sense of peace.

    Sound healing is accessible to all and complements other healing modalities, making it a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation.

  • Divination is the practice of seeking insight, guidance, or clarity through spiritual tools and intuitive methods. It serves as a way to connect with higher wisdom, gain perspective on life's questions, and illuminate your path forward.

    Tarot and Oracle cards are popular tools used in divination.

    • Tarot cards consist of 78 cards, each with specific imagery and symbolism, divided into the Major and Minor Arcana. Tarot readings offer detailed insights into life's themes, challenges, and opportunities, often reflecting patterns and energies influencing your journey.

    • Oracle cards are more flexible, with varying themes and card counts depending on the deck. They provide intuitive messages and inspiration, often focusing on guidance, affirmations, and clarity in specific situations.

    During a reading, the practitioner interprets the cards drawn in response to your questions or intentions. These readings aren’t about predicting the future but rather offering a mirror for self-reflection, growth, and empowerment.

    Divination with Tarot and Oracle cards is a supportive and enlightening practice, ideal for anyone seeking direction, clarity, or a deeper connection to their inner wisdom.

  • Astrology is the study of how the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as the sun, moon, planets, and stars—relate to human experiences and the natural cycles of life. Rooted in ancient traditions, astrology explores the energetic connections between the cosmos and the individual, offering insights into personality, emotions, and life’s patterns.

    At the heart of astrology is the birth chart (or natal chart), a unique map of the sky at the exact moment and place of your birth. This chart reveals the placement of planets in specific zodiac signs and houses, symbolizing different aspects of your life, such as relationships, career, and personal growth.

    Astrology provides guidance and self-awareness rather than fixed predictions. By examining planetary transits and alignments, it can help you understand challenges, opportunities, and timing in your life.

    Whether you’re seeking clarity, self-discovery, or alignment with the natural rhythms of the universe, astrology offers a profound tool for reflection and personal growth.
