About Me

Hi! I’m Rachael (Raye) White, proprietor of Blue Star Therapies. Some know me as Rajita Ishaya, a Sanskrit name given to me when I was a Meditating Monk, others as The Bendy Witch, written and spoken word Poet and Storyteller. Being empathic, I’ve always been able to feel the energies around me and since childhood had an interest in the Magickal, the Mystical and the unseen world.

My Grandfather Charlie White was a faith healer and I appear to have inherited his healing ways and hands. As well as being a Shamanic Practitioner and Holistic Therapist, I’m a senior Yoga teacher of 18 years. I’m currently living on a boat and am a proud Mama of two grown up daughters.

My Own Healing Journey

Much of what I share has been learnt the hard way, through direct experience and trial and error. I have sensory processing disorder and challenges relating to ADHD which looked like chronic social anxiety, panic attacks, sensory meltdowns and shutdowns, interspersed with periods of depression. Being highly empathic and sensitive to the environment, chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs, I’ve had many bad experiences with conventional healing approaches that led me to seek out alternative support through Holistic Therapies, Shamanism, Yoga and Meditation.

Unlike conventional medicine (which of course has its place), the Holistic approach to healing looks at the bigger picture, taking into account the whole person, not just treating the symptom. At some point in my own journey I realised that many of the experiences I was trying to “heal” and “fix”, were simply responses to being neuro-divergent and therefore not compatible with many modern ways of living!

I’ve learned how to accept, adapt and change my relationship with what is inherent. Instead of trying to change who I am, I’m learning to recognise and love myself as I am.

My natural sensitivity, which used to feel like a curse has become a great Blessing. It’s what makes me a good facilitator of others “healing”, whether that be on a physical, mental or emotional level. It brings with it a high degree of empathy and the ability to feel and reflect what is being suppressed in others. I’ve helped many a parent of neurodivergent children understand what their sensory child is experiencing, which has helped with communication and the healing of relationships.

I’ve learnt, through my own Shamanic practices, to become radically honest, to get comfortable being uncomfortable, to nurture my relationship with my loved ones, nature and life. Yoga Asana and Movement Medicine give me tools to maintain my physical body and my Meditation practice reveals a deep well of Love within me that I can always come back to, no matter how painful life can sometimes appear. I’d like to help as many people as possible to find that well of Love inside themselves, which is why I started The Silent Revolution.

What I Do For Fun

I love to hang out in Nature, seeking out waterfalls, wells and stone circles, where communication with the Nature Spirits are more tangible and I find the sounds of rain and trickling streams very soothing. I’m learning guitar. I think I’ll always be learning guitar! I started learning to rehabilitate my left little finger tendon (that snapped) and also to create music for the medicine songs I write. I aspire to learn how to draw and paint better. I enjoy painting mandalas, Faeries and Angels. I love sing songs around Sacred fires with like-minded community. I don’t own a TV but do like to watch a good movie now and again, usually that has a Dragon in it.

Human Design

I’m a student of the system called Human Design. I personally find it very helpful as tool for self-awareness. It’s for sure my special interest! Typical of a 1/3 Sacral Manifesting Generator with RAX of the Unexpected, I’m a very curious and creative being which makes my life very interesting and full of the unexpected!

I like to learn deeply about whatever is awakening my curiosity in the moment. Being an investigator by nature, as well as exploring the unseen and mystical aspects of this world, on a practical level I like to see and test what actually works and what doesn’t, weaving what does work together to create new ways of seeing, doing and being.

My therapy offerings are an accumulation of knowledge, Wisdom and direct experience over many years and I often look at clients Human Design charts to understand how best to tailor their sessions to their unique design.
