Welcome beautiful,

My name is Jasmine Alicia Carter.

And Sacred Woman™ is the culmination of over 8 years of exploration and healing in the spiritual, wellness, and holistic fields.

My brand is my sacred hearth and a jewel in my heart that shines brightly for all who seek to connect with their true, deepest and rawest feminine selves.

I am a woman of Italian, North-European, Latin-American, and Nigerian descent, currently residing in the vibrant city of Barcelona with my loving husband, Hri Surya Cillo, a gifted meditation guide, and our two beautiful young sons Ravi and Mani.

From the moment of my conception...

I was enveloped in a container of spiritual lessons.

I was conceived during the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia in 1991, and born in the Airforce Base of Virginia. My early life was marked by the complexities of rigid military family dynamics.

My parents’ divorce when I was just seven years old thrust me into a new harsh reality.

I grew up in Italy, and without my father, I felt the weight of a strict and emotionally unavailable mother, and I quickly learned to navigate the world alone, grappling with a profound sense of emptiness and disconnection. The taboo surrounding womanhood and pleasure loomed deeply in my lineage, creating an internal battleground within me.

Conversations about periods were inexistent, and when they arrived, they were presented to me as a curse. Sexuality was shrouded in shame and viewed as a direct path to motherhood, highlighted as a punishment rather than a celebration of life. So my body felt like a battleground, imperfect and constantly scrutinized, and wanting to adhere to impossible societal standards.

The messages I absorbed about pleasure suggested me that it must always come after hard work, and men were painted as having always mischievous intentions towards women.

So many layers of deep-seated beliefs, paired with an intense sexual drive from a young age, led me to manifest patterns of self-hatred and disassociation from my own body.

This made me make choices in intimate relationships that were misaligned with my true self, engaging in self-harm and grappling with emotional, psychological, and physical illness.

My teenage years, which should have been filled with carefree joy, were instead clouded by hopelessness.

I had never experienced an orgasm until the age of 21, until I used a synthetic rabbit vibrator. I battled with recurrent yeast infections, PCOS, Endometriosis, HPV, and debilitating period pains that left me doubled over in agony.

My past is filled with countless stories of struggle and survival... Yet each one has shaped the woman I am today.

Spiritual Journey

Over the past decade, I have been blessed to dive into the depths of inner healing through powerful and rare authentic spiritual lineages.

From the ancient teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism and Dzogchen to the Shipibo wisdom of the Amazon, I explored Kashmiri Shaivism, Nei Qi Gong, Chinese medicine, Taoism, and Ayurveda.

Under the Dzogchen and Vajrayana tradition, I trained with Rishi Choni Dorje, a disciple of Adzom Rinpoche—one of Tibet’s last living masters, renowned for embodying teachings so profoundly that he could place his limbs in rock, produce Amrita from the depths of his realization, and awaken your true nature simply by gazing into your eyes.

Rishi was my primary teacher until his passing, and his son, now my husband, continues to guide me in this lineage.

I trained with Lama Tsultrim Allione, receiving the Chöd initiation, Feeding Your Demons, and undertaking solitary practices in caves and cemeteries.

These teachings of death and liberation as central themes, have since infused everything I create, including much of my menstrual art.

Alongside these traditional practices, as a curious and explorative being that I am, I embraced modern spirituality and holistic methods, including Neo Tantra and contemporary approaches like Somatic Therapy and Art Therapy.

I eventually turned to the realms of Epigenetics, Holistic Nutrition, and Neuroscience too.

All these diverse - yet so interconnected traditions and disciplines - have shaped my journey and my ability to hold space for others, merging the timeless wisdom of ancient teachings with the evolving needs of the modern world.

Menstrual Art Movement

In 2016, during an Ayahuasca ceremony, I channeled the practice of Menstrual Art—a pivotal moment that launched my path to womb healing and sacred feminine work.

This ritual unlocked and led me to profound healing and a deeper, unshakable embrace of my femininity and mysteries of the womb.

Since then my work has resonated worldwide, going viral on social media under the eyes of millions, and appearing in global media, television, and international radio.

I've collaborated with impactful brands like Its August and Girl Boss, helping shift the narrative on periods and feminine wellness.

My work has been used as the foundation for university theses and inspires a diverse community of doulas, birth workers, and doctors, sparking both support and - of course - much controversy.

I founded the non-profit Menstrual Art Movement, counting now thousands of women creating period art together, uniting creativity, healing, empowerment and activism in a powerful celebration of feminine health and sacredness.

The Mother.

Motherhood has been - and continues to be - the most spiritual and transformative initiation of my life.

It is a journey of surrender to the absolute duality: this paradox of heart-opening, breathtaking moments of connection, love, and sweetness alongside messy, dark, and exhausting challenges.

Both my children, Mani and Ravi were birthed at home, surrounded by love, family, a cozy and sacred space and the wisdom of the lineage humming in the background.

Through my children my heartbeat became the pulse of my work and my purpose.

The love we share is the legacy I strive to leave on this Earth. I am beyond grateful for my family, who loves and supports me unconditionally and their presence gives me the courage and space to unfold into my highest self and embody all that I am becoming.

Today

And we arrive here.

My journey into womb work runs deeper and deeper as I also pursued a specialised training in Womb Continuum Care through Ma School - allowing me to serve the full spectrum of womanhood with both hands-on and hands-in support, a form of body work attuned to every stage of a Woman's life.

With all my background in holistic nutrition, sex education, spiritual work, I bring a holistic approach to nurturing women’s health, emphasizing the interplay of body, nourishment, lifestyle, spirit and sexuality.

Today, as I walk this healing path, I remain deeply committed to my own growth while holding space for others.

I am devoted to remain curious and humble, continuing to gather wisdom along the way to evolve both personally and in service to my community.

I am immensely grateful to all my teachers, my life experiences, past and present, who have helped shape my work, ethos, and sacred expression in this world.
