Ori Ara is a Yoruba term meaning "purpose" and "body." It represents the idea of living fully aware and in deep appreciation of the body as the earthly home for the soul.

At its core, Ori Ara is a belief system that honors life in the body as a sacred experience, emphasizing holistic well-being. By elevating our daily habits into spiritual practices, we nurture the body and empower ourselves to thrive in any environment.

Founded on the 9 Pillars of Wellness, Ori Ara goes beyond traditional Western health, viewing self-care as Sacred and part of our purpose on earth.

What does Ori Ara do?

How do we do it?

What do we believe?

At Ori Ara, we embrace the understanding that we are a soul with a body, not merely a body with a soul.

Our mission is to highlight the transformative power of nurturing a relationship with our bodies, making self-care both sacred and a natural, effortless part of life.

Ori Ara is not a diet or exercise program. Instead, it is a belief system and a life perspective that honors the body as a sacred vessel for navigating our life experiences. We teach the collective how to honor and listen to their bodies, recognizing that self-care evolves, as we and our environment evolves. Through this journey, we aim to nurture a deeper connection with our Self and be reminded of a lifestyle that celebrates the sacredness of our body.

Through learning about the 9 Pillars of Wellness, we guide you to understanding the ‘why’. Where other programs attempt to teach you ‘how’ to take care of your body, Ori Ara' teaches you how to adopt a mindset where taking care of your body is a spiritual practice. Through sacred-self you discover a direct path to living as your Highest Self. We show you how to transform the body from a barrier into a portal to your truest self.  Through this understanding you will make your body a foundational part of your belief system, which changes everything.

  • We are souls experiencing life in human form.

  • Our bodies are precious gifts from the Divine that allow us to enjoy the abundance of life.

  • Nurturing our bodies is a spiritual practice that connects us to our divinity.

  • The health of our body is essential for aligning to our Highest Self.

  • Each body carries a divine purpose and unique calling.

  • Protecting our health is the ultimate way to honor and fulfill our life's calling.

The Founder

Hi!

I'm Cassandra Juniphant, a 40+ wife, mother, Holistic High Priestess, and Disciple of the Soul.

For over a decade, I’ve been on a transformative journey to manifest the life of my dreams by prioritizing the health and well-being of my body. My mission is to empower women to embrace their bodies and unlock their divine potential.

As a professional bodybuilder, yoga instructor, certified trainer, and martial arts enthusiast, I’ve learned to honor and love my body. Along the way, I’ve studied nutrition, supplements, and even owned a gym. This was alongside climbing the corporate ladder as a single mother of two—now happily married since 11/11/23—driven by the incredible improvements in my quality of life thanks to my dedication to holistic health.

My life is a testament to the power of holistic wellness as a tool for transformation. Through Ori Ara, I share the wisdom and practices that have helped me live more fully and vibrate in alignment with my Highest Self.

I invite you to join me on this journey—to remember the sacred connection between body and spirit, and to embrace the profound potential within you.

Ori Ara is rooted in practical, intentional holistic health, inspired by the Spirit. Together, we can create the life you were meant to live.
