I’m Kassandra Marissa aka crochetkassy and thesoftsanctuary_, co-founder of Grandona Amor, where beauty and care go deeper than skin.

I am a shamanic practitioner, both trained and self-taught, devoted to the integration of ancient and modern feminine and masculine healing practices, guiding others through energy healing, chakra alignment, and intuitive spiritual work.

This space was born from a lifetime of transformation—some of it beautiful, much of it brutal, and all of it sacred in hindsight.

Growing up, I didn’t feel at home in my body. I was bullied, both at school and within my own family, and developed intense body dysmorphia and obsessive behaviors just to cope. I spent years chasing worthiness, believing that if I could just change how I looked, maybe I’d feel loved. But the truth is, I was already whole—I just didn’t know it yet.

In my early 20s, I began working in wellness and energy healing. I led circles, guided women, and started to rebuild a relationship with myself. But healing isn’t a straight path. I fell in love again and again with people who mirrored my unhealed parts. One of those relationships—my marriage—shook me to my core. I learned so much about people and love and I grew so much from this difficult experience.

As a deeply empathetic soul, I once believed I could save everyone. But I’ve learned that healing begins when we choose ourselves.

After my daughter was born, I was paralyzed from the chest down due to a rare neurological condition. Alone in a hospital room, unable to move, I made a soul contract with God. I wasn’t done. I was here for something more. I rose from that moment, not just physically but spiritually—with a clarity I’d never known before.

I rose from that moment not only physically, but spiritually—with a clarity, devotion, and sense of purpose I had never known before. That experience transformed the way I understand healing because it awakened me to what I came here to do. I am a healer, and my work is to guide people back to the truth of who they are. I work with energy, intuition, ancestral tools, spiritual guidance, and earthly wisdom—including Traditional Chinese Medicine—to support healing on every level: body, mind, soul, and spirit. I help people clear what is heavy, restore what has been depleted, and reconnect with the divine intelligence within. I am here to hold sacred space for remembrance, realignment, and transformation—to help others return home to themselves.

My mission is to help people awaken to the power and healing already within them. By bridging the spiritual and the earthly through beauty, wellness, faith, and creativity, I guide others back to their true essence: reminding them of their strength, their light, and their divine connection.

My vision is to create a sanctuary where beauty, healing, creativity, and spirit come together. A place where people reconnect with themselves, remember their inner power, and experience transformation through holistic care, faith, and community. Through Grandona Amor. I am building spaces that bridge heaven and earth— where healing happens, creativity awakens the soul, and people leave feeling more aligned with who they truly are.

Grandona Amor is the result of that journey. It’s a place where people come to care for their outer self and leave with something deeper restored. It’s a place where you feel at home creating with others even if not one word is spoken. My services may begin with facial massage, electrolysis, or head treatments, or just hosting a room full of people… but what I truly offer is a safe space to come back home to yourself.

Through intentional care, loving touch, and deeply-rooted presence, I help clients look in the mirror and actually love what they see. This work is personal. It’s purpose-driven. And it’s anchored in a quiet kind of magic that doesn’t need to be explained, only felt.
