Onyi Love (born Felicia Richards), also known as Onyi, is a Healing Artist and Priestess, and founder of the company and brand ONYI LOVE.
As an artist, Onyi expresses her creative energy through music (primarily as a vocalist), reflective writing, serving as a muse for traditional and non-traditional visual art (photography, renditions, etc.), and as an actress. In 2020 she released her first solo album entitled Songs of Soothing (under the artist name ONYI LOVE), which is a blend of prayer, sound healing, meditation, and her love and reverence for and take on some of her favorite Afro-Cuban Orisha songs (mixing traditional elements with some of her flare). In the same year, she was featured in the award-winning short film Wade In the Water, by David Bianchi.
As a healer and priestess, her work encompasses sound, talk therapy/counseling, energy work (laying of hands or shamanic), ritual and ceremony. She synergistically blends her ability to detect, interpret, conduct and channel energy with that of understanding the practical, mundane, and grounded elements to hold space for and inspire deep transformation.
In all she does, Onyi is dedicated to guiding people through their journey of awareness, self-love, grounding, and healing. Through the powerful tools of her art and healing work (which often overlap), and the wisdom she has gained from life experiences, observations, and teachings from elders, she assists people in igniting the fires within to create energetic shifts that ripple through every part of their being. In alignment with her nickname (given to her through her paternal lineage), she encourages everyone to remember that: we and all of our experiences are gifts; we have all been gifted with the power to transform and be in command of our existence; we are love incarnate.
