​The Michigan born artist, composer/pianist, singer and producer’s spiritual name translates from multiple different languages to “Ancestor, Healer”. The name Chakuna or Chukuna comes from the Quechua word Machukuna which means Ancestor/Old Ones. If one chooses to pronounce “Machi” as Ma-KEE (Ma-Qi),  it roughly translates to “my energy,” which she believes she has carried with her from a past life to this one so that she may use her gifts to transmit these healing vibes.  “Asa” also translates from Hebrew meaning “healer” and from Swedish it is pronounced “o-sa” and means “Goddess”. And, “Asa” also means “hope” in multiple different languages. Her name, Chakuna Machi Asa was activated in an ancient indigenous Peruvian Shamanic ceremony. Her shamanic teacher was born in Peru and has been sanctioned by the indigenous elders to carry on the traditions in American so they are not lost forever. 

​Chakuna's name could also be written as Machukuna Chi Asa however because of a historic reversal of the way the energy sits it has been transmitted semi reversed of the way it was in ancient times. And so the new expression of the name is more appropriate especially because this also shows that nothing from the past is re-created but only that a new creation has the ability to still carry a particular energy.


​The artist graduated with a BA in Psychology from Michigan State University with specialized studies in abnormal psychology, philosophy of love and justice, shamanism and world religions. She was a member of the competitive audition choir Michigan State Singers, which was part of the MSU School of Music. Her multi-faceted post graduate studies included Peruvian Shamanic Healing, Herbology, Guided Meditation and Natural Health. She also holds certifications in Massage Therapy, Reiki III, Therapeutic Kinesiology, Crystal Healing Therapy, and Reiki Drumming.
