About Felicia
Hello and welcome! I'm Felicia, known professionally as Onyi — a Los Angeles-based healing artist, performing artist, initiated priestess, and student of mythology and ancestral wisdom. I am also a passionate and dedicated English language educator who believes that learning to speak a new language is one of the most courageous things a person can do.
I am a native English speaker and a proud graduate of the University of Southern California, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Social Science Psychology. I hold a 160-hour TESOL/TEFL certification and bring over 20 years of professional experience spanning corporate leadership, performance, education, and facilitation across the United States and internationally.
My students can expect a warm, professional, and judgment-free environment where they are seen, heard, and genuinely supported in their growth. I am deeply committed to meeting each student where they are and helping them move toward where they want to be.
Whether you are a beginner finding your footing or an advanced speaker refining your confidence, I am here to support your journey — not just as a language learner, but as a whole person with a voice worth hearing.
I look forward to meeting you.

MY APPROACH
My lessons are rooted in the belief that language is more than grammar and vocabulary — it is vibration, embodiment, and self-expression. As a healing artist, sound practitioner, and student of mythology and ancestral wisdom, I bring a uniquely holistic approach to English language learning that addresses not just what you say, but how you inhabit your voice when you say it.
TEACHING METHOD & TECHNIQUES
I combine conversational immersion with gentle, real-time corrective feedback on pronunciation, word choice, and grammar. I also pay attention to what I call "energetic blocking" — the hesitation, shrinking, or trailing off that often has less to do with language ability and more to do with confidence, shame, or fear. We work on both simultaneously.
Sessions are warm, unhurried, and judgment-free.
A TYPICAL LESSON
1) Opening: Brief check-in, grounding breath work, and vocal warm-up woven into pronunciation practice
2) Intention Setting: We establish a clear, achievable goal for the session together. You may share where you feel stuck — linguistically or otherwise. For those open to it, we may draw a card or use a simple divination tool to surface the theme that
wants to be explored
3) Core Conversation: Organic, flowing dialogue on a topic aligned with your goals and interests, with gentle real-time feedback
4) Reflection & Integration: We close by naming what you noticed, a word or phrase to carry forward, and a brief grounding moment
Sessions are 30 minutes, with 60-minute options available for deeper work.
WHAT SETS ME APART
I am a native English speaker with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Southern California, a 160-hour TESOL/TEFL certification, and over 20 years of experience spanning corporate leadership, performance, teaching, and facilitation across corporate, academic, and community settings worldwide. I am also an initiated priestess, sound healer, and performing artist who has worked with diverse communities across the U.S. and internationally.
What that means for you: I don't just correct your English. I help you find your voice — fully, confidently, and authentically.
WHO THIS IS FOR
These sessions are for adult learners at beginner through advanced levels who are seeking more than a transactional language lesson. You may be:
*A professional seeking confidence in English-speaking environments
*A creative, healer, or artist wanting to express yourself more fully in English
*Someone who knows the words but feels blocked in actually speaking them
*Anyone curious about a language learning experience that honors the whole person
If you're looking for a purely traditional, textbook-based lesson, I may not be the right fit — and that's okay. But if you're ready to learn English and step more fully into your own voice, I'd love to work with you.
