Gisella Rose is an Artist, Author, Astrologer and Ancestral Alchemist, she is creatrix of Ancestral Alchemology™, SOMAmagical™. and SPELLidance™. Her journey began at the age of three when a near-death experience opened a pathway into the unseen realms, where ancestral memory, grief, and magic merge. That moment was an initiation into a sacred rite of passage, sparking a quest for remembrance and a deep calling to explore the liminal spaces between the living and the dead. She now guides others into this magical remembering, sharing sacred work shaped by both deep lineage connection and lived experience. 

As a lifelong Artist, dancer and performer, known in the Circus-Sideshow world for over a decade as "Gisella Rose - The Pain Proof Artiste", performing sideshow stunts on stages all around the world, including performing with bands such as Janes Addiction and iLLnino. Her path also winds through the tattoo industry, where she has worked as a skilled body piercer and permanent makeup artist, and currently as a Marketing Administrator for Axys Rotary since 2018. Also, a herbalist and owner of Woodland Wyrd, an online apothecary where she conjured up flower essences, incense and tinctures until closing that in 2020.

Her work now is all that is weaved together, all that is SOMAmagical sharing embodied pathways into the living alchemy of lineage. She is author of the award-winning book "Elixir: A Journey into Ancestral Alchemology," a guide that invites readers to feel, move, and transform the ancestral sediments within their own vessels into something sacred, consciously impacting their individual and collective ancestral roots, a journey she describes as a transformative contemporary rite of passage.
