Tantric practitioner leading pujas and couples ceremonies rooted in Kriya Yoga
Kanixa is a tantric practitioner and energy healer who has been doing this work since 2015. They're based in Hawai'i but travel regularly, and Austin is one of the cities where they lead pujas and ceremonies for couples and groups. Their training is specific and layered: Apprentice Teacher with IPSALU Tantra International, Usui Reiki Master, Somatica Relationship Coach, and Licensed Intuitive Tantra Practitioner and Trainer. That's a lot of credentials, but what matters more is how the work actually feels when you're in the room.
Their main offering in Austin is the Shiva/Shakti Puja, a tantric ceremony designed for couples. If you haven't attended a puja before, it's a structured ritual space where participants move through guided practices together. Kanixa's version draws on Tantra Kriya Yoga techniques they've been refining for about a decade. The focus is on heart-level connection between partners, not performance or spectacle. Each ceremony is built around a specific intention, and the practices are sequenced to build on each other rather than thrown together randomly.
People who attend Kanixa's ceremonies tend to describe the atmosphere as both safe and open. That balance is genuinely hard to get right. Ceremony leaders who push too hard toward breakthrough experiences can make a room feel pressured. Leaders who play it too safe can make things feel flat and overly cautious. Kanixa leans toward gentleness and intuition. They give people room to go at their own pace, which means participants can actually relax instead of performing vulnerability on someone else's timeline.
Beyond group ceremonies, Kanixa does one-on-one sessions and couples work. The Somatica coaching training adds a practical, body-based element to the couples sessions that goes beyond purely energetic or spiritual territory. Their individual sessions blend energy healing with tantric practice. They describe their approach as guiding people toward self-connection and what they call "heart-centered living," which in practice means slowing down enough to actually feel what's happening in your body and your relationships.
Kanixa's home base is Hawai'i, so their time in Austin is seasonal. They travel specifically to bring this work to communities outside the islands.

For people curious about tantra who find the whole scene intimidating or hard to read, Kanixa's ceremonies are a reasonable entry point. The container is structured enough that you're not left wondering what to do, but relaxed enough that it doesn't feel like a script you're supposed to follow. Kanixa calls themselves a "devoted Tantrika," and the devotion part comes through. This isn't someone running a side hustle. They've been at it for over a decade and it shows in how they hold a room.
