Alyssa has been finding joy in henna since 2004. She first began creating with henna on the banks of the River Ganga in Rishikesh India, where she sat alongside local street artists who taught her to work with the magic of this creative medium and powerful plant medicine. Alyssa is seasonally based in Seattle, WA and New England.
Henna can be an incredible part of any kind of celebration! Henna makes any ritual, shower, pregnant belly blessing, self-care day, party, or birthday special. Alyssa is available for individual appointments or group events.

Alyssa acknowledges and humbly thanks the many cultures and creators that have welcomed her into the lineage of international henna artists. She bows in gratitude to her teachers in India, Morocco and to the diverse community of artists from the United States and around the world who have informed her henna work and practice. This gratitude humbly extends to many gracious women of color and queer artists in the henna community.
