sigrira's story
Sigrira chose to incarnate on earth during this incredible time of awakening and magick consciousness fully returning to Gaia. Sigrira arrived with a most singular focus & a self-chosen mission, (at Gaia's request) - to assist the non-human animals currently embodied on earth in any & all ways possible to her.
Sigrira grew up in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, primarily with dogs, rabbits, goats, chickens, horses and cows. She considered them her siblings/closest friends and throughout her whole life she has never perceived a species divide/hierarchy. At 12, Sigrira and her family moved to Greenville, South Carolina, (USA) where she attended high school - including a year at the Fine Arts Center (a lovely creative time) followed by studying Psychology and Photography at Emory University, Atlanta, GA. (BA in Psych) Sigrira's favorite college experience was Fall 1995 when she was a student on the S.S.Universe for a Semester at Sea, travelling around the world in 100 days.
Sigrira met the love of her live(s,) Steve Savitski, on Semester at Sea, discovering sacred magick places and the type of stargazing that is only possible while sailing the open seas. They got to know (this lifetime's version of) each other while walking around the pyramids of Giza, sitting by the Sphinx, dancing at nightclubs in Jerusalem, communing with Turkish cats while sipping apple tea and befriending seaside dogs in Essouira. Each country offered them deep energetic codes and loving welcomes, especially by the local animals. Temples in Nara, Japan were surrounded by kind deer and kitsune spirits, while in India the snakes smiled their healing. Steve shares Sigrira's love & connection to animals and in 1998, they became interspecies parents when they adopted their two sons, Jarvis and Juneau while living in Tucson, AZ among saguaros and palo verde trees.
Sigrira and Steve moved to Atlanta in 2000 and she began graduate school at Georgia State University. (MFA Photo 2003)
Their children Juneau and Jarvis were the sole focus of her thesis, entitled 18 Lives, which included large portraits of them and a video installation with their sounds and purrs. Sigrira was pleased to present this vision of animals as equal/fully part of the family through her art, especially during a time when animals featured in fine art were mostly depicted as symbol/metaphor for humans/human issues - not so much literally about the animals' emotional states, wisdom or spiritual/cosmic abilities.
Sigrira taught photography at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA. First as an Adjunct Professor of Photography & later as a Lecturer in Art from 2005 through 2017 when she left this position in order to dedicate herself fully to her animal comunication and energy healing work. Sigrira still loves working on her own personal photography and most likely always will, as it feels like a part of her, a lens to visually tell stories and see what our eyes sometimes miss.

Sigrira was fortunate to grow up in a home environment and cultures where spirit being around was considered fact. While it was not something central to her family's daily lives- it was at least something she was aware of and her paternal grandfather taught her about concepts like reincarnation as a child. Sigrira has vivid memories of her spirit guides animating her stuffed animals and dolls to physically dance in her room and entertain her as a toddler. The Fae realms also called to her and as a teen she discovered her affinity for crystals and her very first tarot deck, the Thoth Tarot by Crowley. While it was all part of her- the awareness, the knowing that there were other dimensions & unseen realms- she did not realize yet that this extended to her being able to be a multidimensional & galactic bridge (medium) and animal "communicator" herself. Her abilities were by necessity dormant while she learned how to "be human" and integrated into that world/reality.
Sigrira's beloved uncle Inomme passed away in 2007 and through a medium (her now dear friend - Jamie Butler,) she was able to clearly hear from him in their native language Papiamentu. (which is only spoken on a few islands.) During the last ten minutes of this connection, he talked with her about the expanded awakening coming her way. She took his words to heart and began taking classes and reading to learn how to remember these abilities and access them.
In 2008 Sigrira began studying Reiki for the express purpose of alleviating her son Jarvis' digestive struggles. Jarvis loved the energy and would press himself as closely as he could into her hands /energy to receive it. Around 2010 Sigrira began communicating with Jarvis and her other son Juneau via telepathy and shortly after she was able to hear animals that were in spirit also. She received her Reiki Mastership in 2012 and while Reiki remains the ignition/ the spark that activated her healing abilities, it has now blossomed into a more galactic multidimensional healing energy unique to her and assisted by spirit & star beings. In 2013 Sigrira and Steve adopted Merlin and Gracie Belle. (pictured above in pram) A beautiful young hawk announced the event of their 1st meeting & adoption. Steve and Sigrira both felt instant recognition that Merlin and Gracie were (& are) their children since that first moment they held them. Gracie and Merlin are most aware (and in charge of) many energies in the home and are honored not only as beloved son and daughter but also as their adoptive parents' teachers.
2019 Marked a distinct shift for Sigrira as this is when she began to more regularly receive guidance from star beings, (who she thinks of as family,) including galactic animals & beings who bear resemblance to some of our earth animals. This was a key that unlocked many more of her multidimensional channeling, communication, bridging and healing abilities and masterships carried "forward" from other lifetimes both on and off earth. This knowing has lifted her up immeasurably and allows for her to more deeply bridge love, healing & guidance for the animals (and for those who love them) from galactic/cosmic, celestial, spiritual, fae and (earth/gaia's)elemental beings & energies. Buoyed by the strength of this vast & loving multidimensional support, Sigrira continues to hold the vision of a world where we transcend species and understand each other as equals through love.
