We’re looking forward to introducing you to Ksandra Roehr. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Ksandra, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A typical day for me begins with a morning ritual — grounding myself through meditation, connecting with my breath, sitting with hapé, and setting an intention for how I want to move through the day. From there, my flow depends on what’s alive. Sometimes it’s working with clients, teaching, or facilitating; other times it’s tending to the behind-the-scenes pieces of my practice, or giving myself space to rest and integrate.
Throughout the day, I weave in my own personal practices — the same ones I guide others through. I’m constantly evolving and doing my inner work, whether that’s listening for guidance from Spirit, receiving visions and inspirations for future offerings, or simply deepening my own self-awareness.
I also balance this with very grounded joys — sharing a meal with friends, cooking something nourishing, laughing, or just creating space for play. Every day feels like a dance between the spiritual and the practical, between service and self-care.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Ksandra Roehr, and I work as a shaman, tantrica, and medicine woman. My company, Hear Me Roehr, is both a play on my last name and a reflection of the energy I want people to embody — the power to rise, thrive, and roar in life from a place of authenticity.
Nearly 16 years ago, I experienced what I now call my awakening. At the time, this world of spirit, energy, and embodiment was completely foreign to me. But in what felt like the blink of an eye, I was transported into an entirely new way of receiving and responding to life. That moment opened a doorway I couldn’t ignore, and it continues to inspire everything I share today.
For over a decade, I’ve guided individuals in remembering how to cultivate a deep, intimate relationship with themselves. I believe this is the foundation of self-empowerment and true healing — learning how to hold ourselves through the full spectrum of emotions, triggers, desires, and transformations that life brings. In my work, I weave shamanic practices, tantric wisdom, somatic healing, energy work, and sound into ceremonies, workshops, and one-on-one sessions that help people ground deeply, reconnect with their essence, and expand into new possibilities.
What makes my path unique is that I live what I teach. The practices I guide others through are the same ones I return to daily, evolving as a woman, a healer, and a human being. My vision is to help people not only ground back into themselves, but also to expand outward — to create, to connect, and to contribute to life in ways that feel aligned and authentic.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
In my mid-20s I experienced what I now call my first “phoenix evolution.” At the time, I was a few years out of college, working as an elementary school teacher, and just going through the motions of daily life. Then, in the course of one weekend, everything I had built around me collapsed — I was laid off from my job, the apartment building I was living in was condemned and I had a month to move, and my relationship ended. For the first time as an adult, I had to move back home and completely reevaluate my life.
While I was living at my mom’s house, I stumbled across Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life. The concepts she introduced were unlike anything I had ever encountered — ways of connecting with myself, understanding others, and creating change through compassion, curiosity, and conscious inner work. Those teachings became the foundation for my healing path. They helped me release self-judgment, soften the expectations I carried, and begin practicing true forgiveness and compassion.
That season taught me that life can unravel in an instant, but within that unraveling there is always an invitation to rise anew. It shaped how I see the world — as a place where even the most difficult endings can open the door to profound transformation, and where every challenge carries within it the possibility of greater love and self-discovery.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes — a little over five years ago, I went through what I call my second “phoenix evolution.” I had spent 12 years building an identity around being a wife, an energy worker, a dog owner, a business owner, and an independent woman. And then, just like before, within about a month, all of it came crashing down. At nearly 39 years old, I found myself once again living at my mother’s house, questioning everything.
This time hit differently — maybe because I had been living a certain way for so long, or because I realized how much of myself I had set aside to sustain that identity. What followed was almost a year of the deepest shadow work and ego death I’ve ever faced. I questioned my existence, my purpose, and carried so much shame and guilt — guilt for wanting more, guilt for how I handled the unraveling. There were moments I thought I was losing my mind, unable to see beyond the pain and sorrow.
What carried me through was support — from my parents, my close friends, a life coach, and a spiritual mentor. And also the work I had already done up to that point. Even in my darkest moments, there was a small whisper reminding me that one day I would wake up and it wouldn’t feel so heavy, that eventually I would understand why it all had to unfold the way it did.
Looking back, that time became one of the greatest portals of my life. It stripped me down and invited me into a truer understanding of what it really means to embrace self-love — not as an idea, but as a lived experience.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
If we define “smart people” as those who lean heavily on logic, intellect, and constant data collection, then I would say what they’re getting wrong is the belief that this alone means they have it all figured out. The rational mind is powerful, but it’s only half of the equation. Our emotional and energetic bodies are just as essential if we truly want to thrive.
This is one of the reasons I’m so drawn to somatic work. I believe, as the saying goes, that “the body keeps the score.” When we engage in practices that allow for somatic release and awareness, we access a deeper layer of healing and transformation. The mind can analyze, but the body remembers — and the body also holds the key to reprogramming.
I see the mind as our computer, but not our programmer. The mind stores and runs the stories, loops, and belief systems, but the body is where trauma originates and where the roots of those patterns live. When we reconnect the mind with the body, we allow the body to tell its story. In doing so, we move beyond simply looping in the mind, and instead, we can access the deeper source of pain, release it, and open space for something new.
When the body is given that release, it sends new signals to the mind — reprogramming it with fresh belief systems, new perspectives, and new ways of living. To me, true intelligence comes from honoring both — the clarity of the mind and the wisdom of the body.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Absolutely nothing. If I knew I had 10 years left, I wouldn’t stop doing a single thing. Through the practices I’ve learned and lived, I’ve come to realize that every part of my life — the successes, the mistakes, the challenges, the joys — all of it holds importance. Who I am in this moment is shaped by every decision and every experience, and each piece contributes to the greater legacy I’m here to create as a woman, healer, daughter, sister, friend, partner, etc.
Much of this perspective comes from my study and practice of Tantra, which at its essence means union — the sacred weaving together of all aspects of who we are. Tantra, along with my understanding of alchemy, has shown me that every ingredient matters. Every emotion, every choice, every lesson becomes part of the greater creation of our lives.
This doesn’t mean I’m always happy, or that I don’t sometimes feel regret or resentment. But even those moments are opportunities — chances to practice what I’ve learned and what I share with others. I wouldn’t change the past, and I wouldn’t try to alter the present. I love who I am right now. And on the days when it feels hard to love myself, I see that too as part of the journey — a reminder that life isn’t meant to be perfect, it’s meant to be experienced, to evolve, and to be co-created with.
