MEDICINE MUSIC + ARTIST BIO

With over 12 years on the path of healing, spiritual practice, and ceremonial work, Karina Koryakhina is a ceremonial singer-songwriter, space holder, and healing guide whose music is rooted in prayer, remembrance, and soulful connection. Originally from Ukraine with Russian roots, and raised in Toronto, Canada, her voice carries a rich tapestry of lived experience, cultural depth, and devotion to the healing power of sound.

In 2014, Karina left Canada and went on to pave her own nomadic path of self-discovery through yoga, meditation, and traveling around the world exploring new cultures and traditions. In 2020, Karina followed the call to Tulum, Mexico, where she deepened significantly on the shamanic path. In 2022, she was formally initiated into the shamanic healing arts and became a certified shamanic drum carrier, facilitator, and practitioner. Since then, her path has continued to unfold through devotion, ceremony, music, and sacred service.

Karina has sat in multiple diets in Peru and Brazil with her Indigenous teachers from the Shipibo and Yawanawá tribes, experiences that have profoundly informed both her spiritual path and the medicine woven through her music. In June 2025, she and her husband relocated from Tulum, Mexico to Pisac, Peru, continuing to walk a life rooted in ceremony, community and devotion.

Blending vocals, acoustic guitar, shamanic drum, and ancestral-inspired sounds, Karina creates immersive musical experiences that invite people into deeper presence, connection, and reverence for life. Her sound lives at the intersection of ceremonial folk, medicine music, and soulful acoustic storytelling: earthy, intimate, heart-opening, and deeply evocative. Her offerings weave together original songs, sacred melodies, storytelling, and immersive sound journeys, creating spaces that feel both grounding and ethereal. With experience sharing music in plant medicine ceremonies, ceremonial concerts, women’s circles, fire gatherings, and retreats, Karina offers more than a performance: she creates a space for people to soften, feel, remember, and reconnect with themselves, each other, and spirit.

Since 2022, Karina has been composing and sharing her own original music, channeling ancestral sounds and writing original songs born from devotion and depth, transformation, nature, love, and the sacred path of
remembrance. She has recently recorded her first two singles and is preparing to release both an EP and her debut album later in 2026. Her music carries the essence of feminine devotion, ancestral remembrance, nature, and
soulful community connection: like gathering around a fire under the stars, where music
becomes medicine and the heart is invited to open.
